Botswana - one week to go - the gear is ready!
After long weeks of optimization my photo and film equipment for Botswana is finally ready. When flying to Africa the size of the equipment is usually a compromise between professional demand and allowed weight. In Botswana the small planes always have a weight limit and most of the time I have too much weight...personally and in the bag ;-)
On May 23, 2022 in the evening we finally take off and fly via Johannesburg to Kasane, Botswana. Then it goes with a local photo professional during ten days in the bush down to the delta - no cell phone, WiFi, Insta, FB or electricity - social detox at it's best!
(See below for the full gear list.)
