A growing request that draws world travelers, adventure-seekers, and wildlife lovers alike is safari excursions to the mesmerizing terrains of Kenya, Botswana, and Tanzania. While on safari, travelers have an opportunity to experience regional flora and fauna up close with the assistance of a trusted guide. Capturing a trip of this magnitude on film is paramount to many of these adventurers, which is why we recommend using these tips for taking your best photos.


1. Be responsible. The first rule of safari photography is to never interfere with the wildlife. Not only can this be dangerous to you and the animals, but also cause confusion and difficulty for other travelers and the guide.

2. Timing is everything. Lighting is key to good wildlife photography, and safari photos are no different. Photography experts agree that early morning and late afternoon are the best times for getting the most impressive shots. Not only is the lighting ideal for photographs, but most animals are at their peak activity during these times.


3. Bring the right gear. Interchangeable lenses, extra batteries, and memory cards are all key pieces of equipment for the aspiring safari photographer. Many experts advise leaving the tripod at home, however. These only add more weight and bulk to your bags and setting up a tripod takes precious time that you won’t have with active animals and could ultimately cost you a great photo opportunity.
