MAKE THE MOST OF IT.

Here are some tips to get the most out of those long game-driving days in the bush:

Catch the Worm

The early bird gets the worm, as the saying goes. For those who prefer to sleep in, getting up before sunrise to eat breakfast early can be difficult, but the rewards are always worthwhile. The acacia trees take on beautiful silhouettes in the soft morning light of the sunrise. Watch for a tree on the horizon, then request that your driver guide maneuver the vehicle so that it is in the best possible position to capture the shot.

Dawn Life

The big cats are mostly active at night in order to conserve energy, so if you are awake early enough, there is a greater chance that you will see them out hunting or feasting on the spoils of a successful night on the prowl. You should still have your camera ready, even though it may be getting dark. Before going to bed the previous night, configure your camera for shots in low light so you are prepared to snap a picture when you come across a worthwhile location.

Be on standby.

Make sure you are prepared with binoculars and cameras before you embark on a Serengeti National Park game drive. Some sightings can materialize suddenly. It may only be possible to see a bird about to take flight or a leopard moving through the tall grass for a brief period of time. Prepare your equipment so that you can take advantage of the fantastic opportunities for game viewing.
