Posted on November 14, 2013 at 5:22 pm

Safari holidays are popular for wildlife enthusiast and photographers, out to make sure you come home with stunning photographs there are some important pieces of kit you require. We’re already presuming you have a DSLR camera, and with this in mind we’re providing you with a suitable list of equipment.

  • Zoom Lens – To close in on animals who may be quite a distance away without losing image quality.
  • 2 or more batteries – You may be shooting all day and depending on the life of your camera, additional batteries may be required. So bring a set and make sure you always have some fully charged.
  • Numerous memory cards. Without taking images home and searching through them on a greater screen, you may not know which ones are good and which ones need deleting. So rather than trying to find space then and there, take many memory cards.
  • A back pack camera bag. Its the most comfortable type and it should be big enough for all of you equipment and fluid in a separate waterproof compartment.
  • A lightweight tripod. The window won’t be up so a lightweight tripod is ideal, and you may need a shutter switch to make sure there is no camera shake.
