What are the Best Lenses for an African Safari?

If you are traveling on an African Safari (or any safari), you'll need to be diligent about the area you carry. In this video, I talk about the lenses I carry on an African safari.

Good tips! Can you say which safari outfit you used and would you recommend them?

[@TheWildlifePhotoShow]

Sure. I led this trip for Backcountry Journeys but on our safari, we went to Pangolin Lodge, Mashatu, and Okavango Delta. I hope that helps!

Thanks, booked with them for next year. Do you think 400mm 2.8 is too short or go with 600mm? I can only buy one or the other. Will also take a 16-35mm and a 70-200mm.

@@B-kl8vjI’ve got the same question. I’m thinking 400mm with extenders.
