  • One should buy a good camera and should learn the art of photography.

  • Minibuses are suitable that have a roof that can be opened, providing you to photograph freely in all directions.

  • The best way to hold your camera steady in such busses is to use a beanbag, which you can put on the edge of the roof.

  • Tripods are out of the question inside a vehicle.

  • What lenses to use? For most wildlife (shots of a single mammal) something in the range of 300 or 400 mm is ideal. Before a 400 mm had sometimes proved just a bit too long, since you can get very close to the animals. This depends very much on where you are.

  • If you would like to get real close up portraits of animals like lions, most of the time you will need something like 500 or 600 mm. For birds a 400 mm is usually the minimum, but unless you have a car of your own it will be very tricky to operate anything as big as 500, 600 or 800 mm. For large animals or groups a zoom in the range of 80.
