Drive times matter
Game activity peaks at dawn and dusk—plan early starts and late finishes for the best sightings.
Malaria awareness
Kruger is a malaria area—talk to a travel clinic about prophylaxis and pack strong insect repellent and long sleeves for evenings.
Stay on the vehicle
Always follow your guide’s instructions and remain in the vehicle during game drives to avoid stressing wildlife.
Bring optics and battery power
A 200–400mm lens or good binoculars and spare batteries/cards mean you won’t miss moments when animals appear briefly.
Binoculars (8x42 or 10x42)
Close-range optics let you pick out features without disturbing animals.
Sun hat & sunscreen
Lowveld sun can be intense on open game drives—protect skin and eyes.
