Kilimanjaro Safaris, Africa, Animal Kingdom

I always take a ride on Kilimanjaro Safaris in the Africa section of Animal Kingdom. It is a ride which is the ultimate challenge for a photographer. The ride is not smooth. You will bounce around in the safari truck. There are animals on every side so you must decide at the start which side to focus on. The lighting will change throughout the ride. And of course, the animals might not be out.

In October I had my Olympus OM-D E-M10 camera which has in camera stabilization. I chose to use the 60mm lens so I didn’t have to worry about changing the focal length. And then I always ask to sit in the last row. It might be a little rougher but I can turn around and shoot out the back without any people in my view. I also got very lucky on this particular trip… I had the back row all to myself! I was like a kid in the candy store!

Put your right foot in…
