Which lenses should you take on a MASAI MARA Safari?

Charl took some time out during our 2021 Great Migration Photo safari to gather up all the lenses that our clients brought with them. Using plenty of images as examples Charl will outline which types of lens he thinks you need to bring with you on a Masai Mara Safari to get the shots!

Our clients shoot with all the brands (Canon, Nikon, Sigma, Olympus, Tamron, Fuji) and when you have 12 people on a Great Migration safari you have a whole load of gear that they bring with them. The subjects that they saw and photographed were plenty of wildebeest (obviously) as well as cheetah, lions, leopards, elephants, zebra and even some of the rarer cats like serval. It was an epic trip!

Charl explains the benefits as well as the pros and cons of each type of lens that you might need on a Masai Mara Photo Safari and of course, he will share plenty of the images that you could take.
