Rise for the golden hour
Wildlife is most active at dawn—be ready in the vehicle 30 minutes before sunrise for the best sightings.
Pack binoculars and a zoom lens
A 8–16x binocular and 200–400mm lens make distant predators and river crossings much easier to see and photograph.
Bring cash for village fees and tips
Small local purchases and the optional Maasai cultural visit are often cash-only—carry Kenyan shillings in small denominations.
Layer for temperature swings
Mornings can be cold and afternoons hot—light insulating layers allow comfort throughout long game drives.
Binoculars (8–12x)
Improves distant animal viewing without relying solely on photography.
Sunscreen & wide-brim hat
Essential for midday sun across open savanna and lakeshore.
