Africa Trip Tips

1. The single most important gear on an african safari is support for your camera equipment. In Tanzania the best is a beanbag (Kinesis Safari Sack beanbags). Bring the bags empty then fill them up with local rice or beans.
2. Have duplicates of equipment in case of failure or damage.
3. A little waterproof Olympus is great to have around the Victoria Falls for water-based activities.
4. Use an international power strip with universal sockets. They take nearly any kind of plug. A North American power strip's fuse will blow because it is designed for no more than 125V power.
5. The most common adapter types in Africa are the two-pin European socket, the three-pin British socket, and the three-pin South African socket.
