Dust lifts off the track as the safari jeep threads a lane through acacia and baobab, the pop-up roof giving space for heads and lenses. Morning light slices the plains of the Serengeti; later the vehicle eases beneath giant figs at Lake Manyara, and at dusk the crater rim throws long shadows over grazing herds.

Hydrate and layer
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water in a daypack and wear layers for cool mornings and hot afternoons.
