African Safari Tips
Tip #1: Be prepared. Nathan Myhrvold in the Digital Safari Equipment Tips article states that camera support is the number one most important piece of equipment to have. Because we will most likely be confined to safari vehicles tripods are not ideal. Beanbags are suggested for east Africa including Tanzania. (picture below)
Tip #2: Next most important piece of equipment is cases to protect your equipment. Myhrvold recommends the Lowepro line of bags (make sure they are rain proof). I read that Serengeti and Ngorongoro are very dusty and equipment to protect from dust including trash bags, and zip-locks would be good to have.
Tip #3: Also having more then one camera body and lenses just incase something fails or breaks. I think it’s also important to invest in good lenses. Bringing two cameras is highly suggested (I should probably work on buying a charger for the one I have now first).
Tip #4: A 100-400mm lens is ideal??
Tip #5: Sounds like early in the morning and late evening are the bests times to shoot.
Tip #6: Bring ample memory cards.
So excited!
