Africa is BIG. Which part are you going to? That will dictate what you should prepare for. Having lived and travelled in South and East Africa for 50 years there are different seasons and climates. Once you have decided where and when then you can start to do the prep. To protect your cameras use shower caps costing $1 for 6. Toss them when they get dirty. Anything material will collect dust and transfer to your equipment. Have a great trip.
Great shot of Blyde River. Third largest canyon in the world.

The bird is an oxpecker and they cling to animals in order to eat ticks, insects and other parasites. There are two species, yellow billed and red billed.
Paul, you went at, I feel, the best time of the year. You have some great photos. Makes me feel homesick. Lived in South and East Africa for many years and to me the Kruger Park is great
Philo, if you need a few tips for the trip let me know. Our last trip was a self drive in Kruger park for 8 days with a cost of under $3500 per couple excluding air fare
Bought mine direct from Canon refurbished with a one year warranty for $129 plus tax. Wait for their 4th July or Black Friday sales
