Some sort of used, 4wd vehicle. Kikoti said I'd be fine with a Suzuki, just for getting around the area. They are a bit cheaper than other safari vehicles...
$6-7,000
Canon EF 100-400 IS f/4.5-5.6 Zoom lens. Essential for wildlife photography. It would just be silly for me to go without a zoom lens.
$1,500
3 - OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro 1 Terabyte, 7200RPM, 32MB External Hard Drive
Honestly, I have no idea what this means... I need 3 separate external hard drives to back up all my photos and HD video; one to just dump everything on, another one to back it all up and one more in case of emergency or I need extra room. My roomate said that 3 terabytes would be enough and that this is a good, reliable brand.
$185/each ~ $555 total
Canon 10x30 IS Binoculars ...soooo awesome!! These binoculars have a huge range, so far that it makes you dizzy...until you press the Image Stabilize button on top and no matter how far off you're looking, the image just freezes! it's amazing, you have to try them! (and I got a connection!)
approx. $230
Manfrotto 701HDV fluid head with 547B tripod kit
A new tripod was not in my budget, but I was strongly advised by a professional wildlife photographer to invest in a new one because the one I have is not made for video. This is one is the best bang for your buck, and perfect for shooting video with my 5D Mark II.
(with connections) approx. $200
These are all things that are not in my budget. In all it is almost $9,000 worth of equipment! (ooyyyy) PLEASE HELP AND MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TODAY!!!!!!

Hate to add more cost to your endeavor but I was wondering if you have gear to protect your camera if and when it rains over there. I'm not sure if there are flash tropical storms that erupt in Tanzania. It would suck if your 5D Mark 2 shorts out because of rain.
ReplyDeleteI use an Aquatech for my gear when I'm shooting sports. It's a bit pricey but the peace of mind is extraordinary.
