Packing Tips

Opt for neutral colors (e.g., khaki) to avoid disturbing animals or attracting insects.

Pack layers to adjust to fluctuating temperatures. Recommended items include:

• Light base layers (Merino wool or synthetic blends)

• Long-sleeve shirts, T-shirts, and khaki pants or jeans

• A fleece or hoodie for cooler mornings and evenings

T-shirts are ideal for midday warmth.

Comfortable tennis shoes are ideal. You’ll remove them often when standing on the seats for better wildlife views.
