Know your camera

Pre-test a new camera and master its basic features before the trip. It's too late for this education on a safari.

Memory

Take enough digital memory. My rule of thumb for safaris: Estimate how many shots you think you will take. Then, double that number - likely you'll need it.

Locally bought memory for your camera is costly and sometimes unavailable or defective.

Batteries

Bring backup batteries for your camera.  And bring a battery charger and adapter that is compatible with the local current and electrical outlets.
