Plan your trip on good weather,
It is important to visit on good weather, if the weather is very hot animals will go to shadow area and will not stand near to car for long time.
Same time , hot weather drain you energy and you become tired easily.
Above both happened for us , when we visited one of drive thru safari during hot summer days.
Since, we went by end of fall and the weather was completely cool, due to fall season golden brown leaves gave an immense vibrating color to our trip & we are not tired of the whole drive thru.
Plan your trip before peak of summer or after summer,
If you are planning during peak of summer then plan in the morning time and always check weather during summer, you have to stay in car for the complete drive thru, if the weather is too hot then you will become tired easily!!
Always wear weather appropriate cloths.
