Layer for morning chill
Even in summer, early departures can be cold—bring a lightweight insulating layer and a windproof shell.
Bring sun protection
Open sections of river offer little shade; sunscreen, a hat, and polarized sunglasses improve comfort and visibility.
Secure cameras and binoculars
Use straps or dry bags—wildlife shots are best from a stable seat, not while fumbling for gear.
Listen to your guide
Boatmen control timing and safety—follow instructions during boarding, disembarkation, and any wildlife approaches.
