Jenine, a fellow Kilimanjaro veteran and friend of the explorer’s lens just returned from safari in Tanzania. Needless to say we were insanely jealous when she told us she was returning to Africa… then we saw her photos!

We were smitten with the one above as it just screams ‘Africa’ and ‘Safari’. Jenine has graciously granted us permission to post it.

Thanks Jenine for letting us live vicariously through you. Awesome capture. Still jealous.

One Thing – On Safari in Africa

What lenses should I take while I’m on safari in Africa?, is a common question we see many people post on various travel and photography forums. The one thing we’d recommend for those going on safari is to beg, borrow, or rent the biggest lens you can get your hands on. A good guide and a little luck will get you within viewing distance of most African wildlife. A big telephoto lens will help you close the remaining distance allowing you to capture those magical moments.
