Details!

I think that binoculars are the most important item to take on a game drive. People often tell

me that they do not need any as they are not interested in birds. I think they are wrong.

I still take a pair for each for my guests on game drive as they are a great way to enjoy end explore details even of large mammals.

The sharp eyes of a Lion, the claw holes in a Lion’s pelt inflicted in a fight, the Lion’s ears with a small tick, the Lion’s back legs with the youngster’s pattern, the underside of a Lion’s paw, or the pinkish nose of a young Lioness; all of these are clearly visible with the help of binos.

Should you ever see any of these that close without optical help then you are far too close and it is probably the last thing you would see :-).

So my advice: Take a set of binos for each person (properly adjusted to the user’s eyes) on your safari and enjoy all the details!
