Photography
SUGGESTED PHOTO EQUIPMENT
- 35mm camera with flash (standard or digital)
- Standard lens, 35-50mm range
- Wide angle lens, 24-35mm range
- Zoom lens, 70-200 or 100-300mm range
- Long lens, 200-400mm range, with f3.5 or f4 speed if possible
- Cigarette lighter battery charger
- A tripod may be useful when photographing outside the vehicle: otherwise a small beanbag will stabilize your camera on the side arm rails on safari vehicles
- Spare batteries for cameras flash and motor drive
- Camera cleaning equipment (dust can be a problem)
Pack your equipment in a good, soft-sided case, and carry it on the plane with you. Africa can be dusty and you should protect your equipment well. Plastic 'ziplock' bags or cloth pillowcases are an ideal means of covering and storing your photographic equipment during your safari
