On my second safari I left my camera in the tent. If I want to capture an animal by photo I go to the Zoo. I felt so much more involved with all wildlife just observing

A better camera does not a better photographer. The only photographer you need to compare yourself against is your own last series of photos

Hello Everyone. Been AWOL during Covid. Probably no one noticed. Anyways, I'd like to get back in the swing of the forum.

Going on a Photo Safari to Botswana and Zambia. I have never shot any wildlife images to speak of so I could use some tips.

I am renting a D850 Nikon and a 200-500mm Nikon lens. Supposed to have pretty good VR system. Will likely be using beanbag support while in the Jeep. As a backup I'm taking my D810 and my 24-70 2.8E. Any suggestions as to the ISO and default fStop? Any other tips would be welcome, since experience teaches a hard school, but fools learn in no other [B. Franklin] Due to weight restrictions, may not take tripod, but maybe my monopod.

Also any tips in general about safari life? We will be going in early November for 2 weeks. Visiting three separate areas. I can provide the names of the areas if that will help you help me.

Thanking in advance as always.

One night will be on some sort of elevated platform to hear the African sounds at night.

My first “photo safari” : spent so much time with cameras, lenses, positions, settings that I missed the first half of my trip. Finally learned to enjoy my safari and took a photo or two when I happened upon something without a lot of planning. Want a nice African animal shot visit a good open zoo.

Kenya & Tanzania three weeks, many safaris. Was so intent on photographs I missed a lot, equipment, position, timing, settings etc. animals I can get at Zoo. Later days just enjoyed being only a tourist, taking memories on iPhone. Don’t miss balloon ride over Massai Mara.

Current scam when young lady asks you to take her picture on her camera. While you are fussing with all that her partner works your pockets et al.

I just returned from Kenya (4 parks) and Tanzania (2 parks) with Friendly Planet. Not a photo safari, but great shots, great guides, and top facilities. Will do again.
