The evening before your first game drive is a useful time to organise the things you will need in the morning. This is especially important if your drive starts around sunrise, when there is little time to search for missing items. A few simple checks can make the morning calmer and allow you to leave camp ready for the experience.
Choose your clothes before going to bed. Put together light layers that can be adjusted as the temperature changes, along with comfortable closed shoes. Keep your hat, sunglasses and sunscreen ready as well. If you expect rain, add a light rain layer to your day bag. Having these items together means you will not need to make decisions while getting ready for an early departure.
Your equipment should also be checked the previous evening. Charge your camera and any other equipment you plan to use, check storage space and keep spare batteries accessible. If you use binoculars, place them with your other essentials. A refillable water bottle and any personal medication should also be ready to take with you.
If you are researching Masai Mara Safari Tours or finalising a Masai Mara Safari Booking, check the following day’s schedule so you know whether you have an early drive, a longer outing or time between activities. You can also speak with your guide about the planned departure. Good preparation does not require a complicated routine. Organising the basics the night before simply leaves you more time to concentrate on the wildlife once the vehicle leaves camp.
