- What to Pack For A Safari Trip To Kruger Park? Pro photographer Ken Hadfield has visited Kruger Park regularly for the last ten years and offers advice on what to pack for your Kruger trip.
Great video Ken, some very good advice especially on the malaria tablets, I have taken them every time I have been to Kenya, you don't mention dust? on the Kenya safaris they are very dusty and I keep my gear under a large towel while on the drives.
Yes, dust can be a problem when using the dirt roads. You can often see dust kicking up from traffic approaching so I just pull up the windows for a minute or two. I also try not to change lenses out in the field if possible.
@@BETTERPHOTOGRAPHYCHANNEL we didn't have the luxury of windows on our safari vehicles 😂 but good advice again, by the way I have a week holiday coming up in October and I have a couple of nights booked near the Washington Wetlands after watching you're video I thought I really need to visit.
The benefit of self drive …however you are likely to get better sightings with a guide. Washington is good to practice your skills. Best time to visit the hides on wader lake is breeding season April/ May…but there should be plenty of wildfowl to photograph.
I live in South Africa and go to Kruger regularly. I use a microfibre towel to cover my gear with. That way the gear can sit on my lap for easy access, and the towel is big enough to cover it or wrap it, while being lightweight enough not to make me hot.
