💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~10.7 hours of daylight in December — the plan keeps days inside a realistic window.
- Drier months often give easier roads and clearer water, but live heat, river, park and operator conditions still decide every outdoor activity.
- Light days: day 1, day 5 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
