What to wear and pack
You are in a pop-up roof on open grassland, 20 minutes from town. Sun, wind, dust, and a 06:00 chill. Neutral colours. No red, no neon.

- Khaki, beige, olive, brown, muted green
- Long sleeves if you burn
- Fleece or light jacket at dawn and on the night drive

Half-day: that is enough. Full-day: add water beyond what we carry, and a picnic if you will not exit the park. Night drive: extra fleece, no torch of your own.
