Great safari photos require more than just being in the right place. Here's how to capture memorable images.
Camera Equipment
A DSLR with telephoto lens (200-400mm) is ideal. Mirrorless cameras work great too. Don't forget extra batteries and memory cards.
Best Settings for Wildlife
- Shutter speed: 1/1000s or faster for moving animals
- Aperture: f/5.6 to f/8 for sharpness
- ISO: Auto, up to 3200 for low light
- Continuous autofocus mode
Composition Tips
Use rule of thirds. Capture animals at eye level. Include environment for context. Wait for the right moment.
Golden Hours
Early morning and late afternoon provide the best lighting. Soft, warm light enhances colors and creates dramatic shadows.
