I’m heading to Kenya for my first-ever African safari, and let me tell you, I have no idea what I’m doing. 😅 Lions, giraffes, elephants, oh my! 🦁🐘📸 In this video, I’m not only sharing the epic gear lineup I’m bringing (including the Canon EOS R1 and RF 1-300mm f/2.8) but also my honest thoughts about tackling wildlife photography alongside legends like Jared Polin, Manny Ortiz, and even a few MLB players. Who knew I'd be glamping with strangers and testing if my "travel light" philosophy holds up? From dealing with vaccine prep to last-minute debates over extenders vs. big primes, this trip promises to be full of surprises. I'll also share why I’m NOT bringing a tripod (don’t @ me) and how I plan to use my lightweight wedding photography tricks to capture the untamed beauty of the savannah. 🚨 Spoiler Alert: I might have packed my period drama alongside my 85mm f/1.2. Fingers crossed the lions don’t notice. 😂 Whether you’re here for wildlife, travel, or just the chaos of photographers roasting each other on safari, this is a trip you don’t want to miss. Oh, and I might just spill some tea about Jared’s gear choices… 🦒 Are you team "wildlife AF" or “stick to weddings”?
