Going on safari is a dream come true for most wildlife
lovers, giving them an opportunity to see some of their
favourite creatures out in the wild. Capturing photographic
memories of these experiences, though, can be tricky, with
the movements of the vehicles you are in causing blurry

photos, and bright sunlight resulting in flat images full of

lens flare. We are on hand this issue to offer you some
solutions, with some ways to keep your camera stable and
a few bits of kit that are vital to your trip.
