Hydration and sun protection
Carry at least 1.5–2L of water per person per day, plus sunblock and a wide-brim hat.
Plan for rough roads
Expect long hours on dirt tracks—secure loose items and bring motion-sickness remedies if susceptible.

Essential for spotting distant predators and observing behavior without disturbing animals.
Warm mid-layer and windproof jacket
