- 2.Arrive 20-30 minutes early to complete safety briefings and paperwork. Bring your passport or driver's license as identification may be required.
- 3.Wear closed-toe shoes (mandatory for all drivers) and comfortable clothing. Long hair should be tied back, and avoid loose accessories.

Gauteng's mild climate makes year-round visits comfortable, though the indoor option is perfect during summer afternoon thunderstorms (November to February).
