Safari Tips
A good camera is always recommended so that you can relive your tour later
at your convenience. We also advise you not to wait for that perfect
picture, as because of this attitude you may lose many precious photographs.
Take care to dress for comfort, cotton clothes are more suitable. Avoid
synthetic fabrics as they reflect the UV light which is visible to the
animals. Avoid anything with powerful odours such as deodorants. Always
carry a binocular so that you can zoom on something interesting that you
might want to see.
