Travel Tips
What to Bring?
Deciding what to bring when you are planning on working and travelling in Africa can be quite a complicated procedure.
Here are aew tips for your Africa Travel
* Pack light. Distances are great in Africa and clothes and other essentials are cheap. If you don’t think you really need it, don’t bring it.
* Bring sunscreen. The African sun is notoriously strong. Don’t underestimate its power.
* Bring something to donate. Medical supplies, school supplies and yes, money, are all useful. Don’t bring candy to give to children. If you cAn, volunteer and donate your time. Even an afternoon of playing soccer with village children or tutoring math will enhance your experience and theirs.
* If you’ve been putting off buying a zoom camera or telephoto lens, do so before going on safari in Africa. Most experts agree that a lens of 200mm is the minimum you should have for close shots. Binoculars will also greatly add to your safari experience. You can always give them as a gift when you leave.
* Also, if you plan to bring a video camera, remember that you should be careful not to zoom in to "get closer" to the animals you see, particularly if either you or the animals are moving. If you do zoom in, you may get a quick close-up shot of the elephant wading into the river, but you may also get nauseous watching it. Stay in a wide angle and everyone will enjoy your African adventure video more.
