    Just ‘cos you’ve got lots of lenses doesn’t mean you have to take them all.

    Probably one of the most frequent questions we get asked by clients is “What lenses should I take on safari?”
    This question is not limited to first timers either; because the equipment you need to take depends very much on where you are going and what the conditions will be like. Photographing lions on the plains of Masai Mara requires a different approach to photographing gorillas in the rainforests of Congo or Uganda, and photographing birds is very different to photographing elephants.
    So how do you make the right selection?
