There are many photographic accessories to choose from - some tend to be gimmicks while others are necessities. Here we list the photo accessories that have been indispensable to us on our more than 100 African wildlife safaris.
1. Better-Beamer Flash Extender - this accessory enables you to increase your flash output by 2 to 3 stops with lenses of 300mm and longer. It is small, light, folds flat and takes just a few seconds to fit onto the flash. Most waterholes in the Kgalagadi and Etosha are between 50 and 100 meters away so this accessory becomes important for your night-time shooting.
