No matter how well you prepare and plan, adjusting to a vehicle and how to make it as comfortable as possible with all of the required bits for a game drive can only come with practice, this was a priority the next morning.
Up at four, I wandered out into the cool dark morning and "BANG" I smashed my knee into the post railing that surrounds the tent kitchen, I cursed loudly and then repeated the expletive through clenched teeth at the stupid pole, which stupid person put that thing there during the night while I wasn't looking %&^#*@.... Then I realized that the headlamp that was on my head was not on, which would have avoided the whole unpleasant incident, so I repeated my diatribe as I hobbled to the car, convinced that everyone within 100 meters of our tent was now awake.
So I sorted the car as best I could with cameras between the seats on a pillow, cool box on the back seat, had a shower and a quick cup of coffee and we hit the gate still muttering to my SO.
If you know not of your past and know not of your present, you cannot predict your future and will be like a cabbage in a society.
Sure, having a big at on your own is always much nicer. And I'm sure that with each visit the likability of that increases. 
Also like the herd of elephants.
