On a Photo tour, two DSLR camera bodies and lenses are advised. The type of lenses you take depend entirely on the destination. We will advise according to each tour should you need advise.
Are there any extras I need to bring on a trip? (Extra snacks, walking shoes, certain clothing requirements, insect repellents, backpack...)

Why do you choose such specific destinations for the Tours and Workshops?
Each destination is hand picked by us for the beauty and photographic potential it holds. C4 Images and Safaris only travel to destinations that offer the best of what we are looking to photograph.
