Dawn arrives low and golden over a flat of acacia and termite mounds as the Land Cruiser hums toward the first gate. A cool, dusty wind pushes through the camp mesh; coffee steams, and the guides already scan the horizon for silhouettes — elephants moving like slow islands, a lone lion outlined against the sun.

Start early for the best sightings
Game activity peaks at dawn and dusk; plan to be at the park gates before sunrise for productive morning drives.

Layer for cold nights
Camps get cold after sunset even when days are hot; pack insulating mid‑layers and a warm hat for night watches.

A good pair of binoculars and a stable camera bag make wildlife viewing and photography easier from the vehicle.

Sun protection (hat, SPF 30+, sunglasses)
