Why Early Morning?
• Wildlife activity is highest: Predators like lions, leopards, and hyenas are more active during the cooler hours.
• Best light for photography: The golden hour light enhances landscapes and animal features.
• Cooler temperatures: Comfortable for both animals and humans before the midday heat sets in.
