These are the standard game-drive times of most 'brochure' safaris,
although normally you come back for breakfast around 9 or 9.30 a.m. As
you suggest, you can often make arrangements to take out a packed
breakfast.
If you're going out all day with a packed lunch, you have breakfast
around 5.45 - 6 a.m. (according to the lodge/camp) and go out as soon
as you finish, or if you're moving on that day, you usually have a
later breakfast and 'game drive' out, unless it's just a short
distance, under two hours or so.
