Early starts pay off
Morning game drives (around 06:00–09:30) are cooler and offer the best light and animal activity; pack a warm layer for dawn.
Bring binoculars

Hydration and sun protection
Carry 2–3 liters of water per person and high SPF sunscreen; shade can be scarce in open savannahs.
Prepare for long drives
Inter-park transfers can be 3–6 hours on varied roads—bring motion remedies and comfortable clothing.
Binoculars (8x–10x)
Essential for viewing distant wildlife and scanning lake shores for birds.
Light daypack
Holds water, layers, camera and documentation during drives and short walks.
