Hydrate and carry water
Morning game drives and walks can be dry—bring a refillable bottle and sip frequently to avoid fatigue.
Listen to your ranger

Prepare for early starts
Dawn drives are prime for sightings; layer clothing for rapid temperature changes and have your camera ready.

Animals are often at a distance; a 200–400mm equivalent zoom and extra power will capture better shots without disturbing wildlife.
Binoculars (8–10x)
Essential for scanning plains and identifying distant game without disturbing animals.
Sturdy walking shoes
Supportive, closed shoes for bush walks over uneven ground and thorny shrub.
Sun hat and SPF 30+ sunscreen
Midday sun is strong; a hat and sunscreen reduce sunburn and heat fatigue.

Light insulated jacket
Pre-dawn and evening temperatures can be cold—layers keep you comfortable on early drives.
