Wildlife Tours in India: Tips to Help You Choose the Best Safari Gear
For many tourists, a safari trip often means exploring and photographing the wild animals in their natural turf. Choosing appropriate safari gear is an imperative decision if you are contemplating wildlife tours in India. In this blog post, I am going to give a few relevant tips to help you choose the proper safari gear, without over or under packing.
Appropriate
Clothing
If you are planning for a safari tour, clothing is the most essential
component. It is always advised to avoid bright colored clothes that bring
unwarranted attention of the animals. Cotton clothes in neutral colors are a
great advantage as they don’t absorb much heat during the day. This is possibly
the reason why most people pack light brown, light green and khaki clothes. A
good slouch hat with a wide brim is recommended as it protects you from the sun
and keep your hair net & clean.
Shoes &
Footwear
Shoes and footwear are as important as your clothing is. It
is possible that you might spend most of your time walking during the safari
trip. Therefore, it is vital to choose shoes that are comfortable and also
protect your feet. Long boots and
lightweight hikers are two perfect foot gear offering both comfort and protection.
Photography
Equipment
A good camera is an asset to capture the memories of your
jungle safari. However one should not get obsessed for the perfect snap as it
tends to dilute the experience. Make sure to carry a good zoom lens camera as it
allows you to capture animals and birds
from far-off. Almost all wildlife resorts in India allow photographers to hire
jeeps for their personal use and if wildlife photography is your purpose, it is
recommended that you do so.
