Walking safaris are only with trained guides; you must stay with the group, keep quiet, and follow close-by safety instructions.

Clear views are often in the morning; afternoon clouds rise. Dry season usually offers better visibility and photos.

Pack sunscreen, hat, light layers, a windbreaker, closed shoes, sunglasses, water, and a dust mask if you’re dust-sensitive.
