You don&#8217;t need the most expensive camera to take great photos on your Kenya safari. Getting good safari photos is more about practice, focus, and concentration than having an expensive camera.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/creativecloud\/photography\/discover\/dslr-camera.html\">DSLR camera<\/a> with interchangeable lenses is a good option for a safari tour. Safari lenses for African wildlife photos fall in the range of 200-400mm. Those who intend to take landscape or animal shots in their wild environment should consider bringing a wider-angle lens in the range of 24-100mm. A video camera is a welcome gadget during a safari, and you may already have one built into your DSLR.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_97334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97334\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-97334 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/pridedrivetours.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/safari-photography2.webp\" alt=\"wildlife photograph with elephant\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pridedrivetours.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/safari-photography2.webp 1200w, https:\/\/pridedrivetours.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/safari-photography2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/pridedrivetours.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/safari-photography2-1024x684.webp 1024w, https:\/\/pridedrivetours.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/safari-photography2-768x513.webp 768w, https:\/\/pridedrivetours.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/safari-photography2-600x401.webp 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-97334\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Taking a photo with elephant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Safari tours take place in remote areas, so bring plenty of batteries and a charger in case you run out of power. Cameras get dirty quickly in the dusty safari environment, so bring plenty of cleaning equipment, such as cleaning cloths and a blower brush.
