Transport

On safari, we try to give each person their own row in the vehicle.  This means you have a spare seat next to you for your gear and you can see left and right just as easily, there’s no looking over someone’s head or having to decide whether you go up and they take the lower window.  It’s all yours!

A little bit about Botswana and Kenya: they are very strict about the luggage allowance on the internal flights which is sometimes as little as 12kg so be prepared.  Make sure you are within allowance otherwise be prepared to pay for the excess baggage, and even then it may have to follow on a separate flight.  I don’t know about you but the thought of My Precious (500mm lens) traveling unaccompanied is enough to give me nightmares.  So pack light on the clothes front and get organized with your gear.  You couldn’t do it going through Heathrow or any other major international port but just for the African domestic flights, one option is to wear a discreet photographer’s vest into which you tuck batteries, cards, bodies, even a small lens.  That would probably buy you 5-6kg.  For international flights, find out what the regulation size limit is for hand luggage and don’t even think about exceeding it these days.
