Data planning

Insider tips
- — Public Wi‑Fi can be unreliable or insecure — use your eSIM for safer and more consistent access.
- — While trains are limited, use your eSIM to book domestic flights, lodges, and safaris, and to access maps in remote areas.
- — Dry seasons (June–September and December–February) are best for wildlife viewing and easier road conditions. Expect heavier rains and potentially rougher roads during the long rainy season.
