Prepare your trip, by ensuring you have sufficient supplies, as the camps have no restaurants or shops.
Leave the camps early on game drives, as this will ensure you get the best game viewing opportunities, from quiet exclusive roads and game still wandering between their night grazing and water.
The camps offer great birding and tree spotting possibilities – take with your tree, mammal and bird guides.
Main rest camps close by offer restaurants and shop facilities, as well as refueling stations.
