Especially during winter and spring time, you will experience considerable temperature fluctuations during day and night time. Pack sufficient warm clothing for sunrise and sunset safaris, including a beanie and scarf. Light clothing & shorts for warmer day time temperatures, including a swimsuit. A sun hat & sun cream are essentials for the harsh South African sun.

A good camera , if you have it, but not a necessity as the photographic workshop can also be done using a good smartphone camera.
