Films to inspire your African Safari

My earliest memory of opening up a National Geographic magazine was seeing elephants, lion, zebras, rhinos and other animals in Africa along with tribes and cultures so distant to mine.

Going on safari has been a dream to have a unique experience of seeing this wildlife adventure, experiencing different cultures and spectacular scenery! 

Until my first trip to Africa, I explored through these safari films featuring the breathtaking landscapes, historical events of locals and human interactions with wildlife and the stars of the savannah featuring conservation programs and struggles to preserve them.

Out of Africa (1985)

• Available on Amazon

The movie, Out of Africa , inspired many a traveler to take a trip to Africa and specifically Kenya. The movie features breathtaking scenery of Kenya including the areas around Nairobi and the Maasai Mara.

The movie, based on the book by Karen Blixen , is a memoir of her life in the early 1900’s in Kenya, then known as British East Africa to colonists. Meryl Streep and Robert Redford play the lead characters for this romance, though I believe the true romance of the film is Karen falling in love with the land and people of Kenya.

Karen writes and reveals in the movie her own personal experience as a woman in this time period running a coffee plantation in spite of her absent husband and interactions with locals many of which were part of the infamous Happy Valley Set of the Kenya Colony in the 1920’s. The story touches on events of the time including colonialism, World War I, shooting safaris and her interactions with the local Kikuyu tribe. A distance time.

On a trip to Kenya, you can visit her home and conversations with the locals will reveal that the love went both ways. Karen introduced Kenya to many in the world both through her 1937 book and the subsequent 1985 Academy Award winning film.

Gorillas in the Mist (1988)

Gorillas in the Mist is another true story based on the life of Dian Fossey. The story tells the tale of the naturalist, played by Sigourney Weaver, and her relationship with the group of primates she studies in the Congo.

Studying them at close quarters, Fossey develops a means of communicating with the gorillas, and in so doing becomes obsessed with the beasts’ well-being. Appalled by the poaching of the gorillas for their skins, Fossey complains to the Ugandan government, which dismisses her by explaining that poaching is the only means by which some of the Ugandan natives can themselves survive.

With the threat of poachers hovering in the background and strife all around in Rwanda, there’s high drama as well as some magnificent footage of real gorillas in their natural habitat.

BBC Africa (2013)

The BBC created this incredible six-part mini series, BBC Africa , on Africa’s wild places and wildlife.

Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, he takes us on an awe-inspiring journey through on of the most diverse places on earth including the Kalahari desert, the Sahara Desert, the savannah of East Africa, and jungles of the Congo as well as diverse wildlife including black rhinos, mountain gorillas, and much more of Africa’s amazing wildlife.

The Last Lions (2012)

From the lush wetlands of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, this documentary focuses on one lioness, named Ma di Tau (“Mother of Lions”), as she tries to protect her cubs against the many threats they face in the wild including poaching.

The Last Lions is a documentary film about the heartbreaking decline of the lion population in Africa. Fifty years ago there were close to 500 million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20,000.

Lions, unlike elephants which are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords. The safari eco-tourist industry brings in over 200 billion dollars per year with lions being a top “must-see” and yet little is done to protect the lions. In addition, big cats are at the very top of the food chain and their elimination would wreak havoc on all species below them in ecosystem collapse.

The documentary was made in collaboration between National Geographic and their Explorers-in-Residence, Dereck and Beverly Joubert, who are filmmakers from Botswana. The film is narrated by Jeremy Irons.

The Ivory Game

• Available on Netflix

It takes 2 seconds seeing a parade of elephants in the wild to be enthralled by these highly intelligent and emotional beasts. The interactions between the young bulls and then groups of mothers and their calves show the complexity of their family relationships.

The movie, Ivory Game , is a documentary revealing the Ivory Trade industry endangering the elephants. The filmmakers show all side of this Ivory industry from the insatiable Chinese market and the local poachers to the wildlife conversationalists and government programs to save the elephants.

I watched this movie on the night before I went on a week long safari in Tanzania where the documentary is partially filmed. As a tourist, I just in awe of seeing these animals, but the documentary provided the rich context of ecosystems in Africa where local poachers living in poverty are enticed to sell off the expensive ivory by dealers and also local people are losing crops when the elephants migrate.

The filmmakers looks at all sides working on solutions to save both the elephants and locals interests while stopping the Ivory Trade.

Born Free (1966)

Born Free  is a 1966 British drama film starring Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers as Joy and George Adamson, a real-life couple who raised Elsa the Lioness, an orphaned lion cub, to adulthood, and released her into the wilderness of Kenya.

At a national park in Kenya, English game warden George Adamson (Bill Travers) and his wife, Joy (Virginia McKenna), care for three orphaned lion cubs. The lion cubs parents were killed after attacking villagers.

After the two larger lions are shipped off to a zoo in the Netherlands, the smallest of the three, Elsa, stays with the couple. When Elsa is blamed for causing an elephant stampede in the nearby village, head warden John Kendall (Geoffrey Keen) demands the young lion either be trained to survive in the wilds of the Serengeti or be sent to a zoo.

The making of the film was a life-changing experience for actors Virginia McKenna and her husband Bill Travers, who became animal rights activists and were instrumental in creating the  Born Free Foundation .

To Walk with Lions (1999)

To Walk with Lions  is a 1999 film directed by Carl Schultz and starring Richard Harris as George Adamson. 

It follows the later years of wild game preserver/naturalist Adamson whose life was transformed into an animal activist after his experience saving a lion cub shown in the movie Born Free .

After his marriage to Joy Adamson ended, Adamson spent the latter part of his life protecting the lions and other wildlife in the Kora National Reserve, Kenya. His program helps ease zoo-bred lions into their natural habitat. The fact-based film focuses on his struggle against poachers and government corruption blocking his quest for wildlife preservation.

The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)

Set in 1898 and starring Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas, The Ghost and the Darkness is based on the true story of two lions in East Africa that killed dozens of people working on a railroad.

Sir Robert Beaumont (Tom Wilkinson) is behind schedule on a railroad in Africa. Enlisting noted engineer John Henry Patterson (Val Kilmer) to right the ship, Beaumont expects results. Everything seems great until the crew discovers the mutilated corpse of the project’s foreman (Henry Cele), seemingly killed by a lion. After several more attacks, Patterson calls in famed hunter Charles Remington (Michael Douglas), who has finally met his match in the bloodthirsty lions.

Don’t let this movie put you off safaris. This true story will highlight the struggles in Africa between local populations, development and wildlife that has been a part of their story for over a hundred years.

The Lion King (1994)

When you think of safaris and big game, it’s hard not to immediately imagine the Circle of Life scene from the beginning of Disney’s epic African adventure,  The Lion King . It might be animation and talking lions rather than real life nature scenes, but adults and kids alike can’t fail to be inspired to take a safari holiday after watching Simba on screen.

The Disney imagineers definitely did their homework. On safari, you will find many of the names of the animals are Swahili and the characteristics of the animals is spot on. I especially saw it in cranky old bachelor lions and the Pummba.

The Legend of Tarzan (2016)

Everyone’s favorite jungle hero has been the subject of many films over the Hollywood years.

In The Legend of Tarzan , it’s been nearly a decade since Tarzan (Alexander Skarsgård), also known as John Clayton III, left Africa to live in Victorian England with his wife Jane.

Danger lurks on the horizon as Leon Rom (Christoph Waltz), a treacherous envoy for King Leopold, devises a scheme that lures the couple to the Congo.

Rom plans to capture Tarzan and deliver him to an old enemy in exchange for diamonds. When Jane becomes a pawn in his devious plot, Tarzan must return to the jungle to save the woman he loves.

Other Disney Animated versions

• Tarzan (2014)
• The Jungle Book (2016)
• The Jungle Book (1967)

I will always be partial to The Jungle Book (1967) for the music.  You can’t help but hum “The Bare Necessities”  or “I wanna be like you” after hearing it.

Road to Zanzibar (1941)

Road to Zanzibar is a trip back to old Hollywood. 

After the success of contemporary films in the safari genre, Bob Hope parodies African adventures with this farce.

The movie is classic Hollywood with ridiculous scenarios including love triangles, races through the jungle, swimming with leopards and plenty of jewels, the fast-paced comedy is a fun trip.

The African Queen (1952)

Another one from old Hollywood, Th e African Queen focuses on life in Africa during World War II.

After religious spinster’s (Katharine Hepburn) missionary brother is killed in WWI Africa, dissolute steamer captain (Humphrey Bogart) offers her safe passage. She’s not satisfied so she persuades him to destroy a German gunboat. The two spend most of their time fighting with each other rather than the Germans. In true Hollywood fashion, time alone on the river leads to love.

The movie, shot in Uganda and the Congo, was one of the first movies to use real locations and backgrounds.

White Hunter Black Heart (1990)

Clint Eastwood’s film is based loosely on the experiences of writer Peter Viertel and director John Huston on the set of The African Queen . 

Love trumps in the 1950s classic The Africa Queen, but White Hunter Black Heart is much darker and explores the morality of hunting wild animals.

Hard-living, macho movie director John Wilson (Clint Eastwood) arrives in 1950s Zimbabwe to prepare for his next film. Accompanied by screenwriter Pete Verrill (Jeff Fahey), Wilson becomes far more interested in shooting an elephant than getting ready for the shoot.

Determined, Wilson moves production to a village where a native hunter helps him in his quest. Obsessed with this goal even as filming grows ever more chaotic, the director begins to question the ethics and origins of his fixation.

King Solomon’s Mines (1950)

King Solomon’s Mines , based on H. Rider Haggard’s novel is about a rescue party that sets out to find an explorer who has disappeared on an African treasure hunt.

The search leads the party across the continent and through the terrors of jungle, swamp, and desert.

Their ultimate destination is the fabled lost mine of Solomon, a source of unimaginable wealth and deadly danger.

There is also a 1985 version of King Solomon’s Mines starring Richard Chamberlain and Sharon Stone, which has a more Indiana Jones feel.

Mogambo (1953)

In M ogambo , Victor Marswell (Clark Gable) is a big-game hunter in Kenya. After Eloise Kelly (Ava Gardner) is stood up by a friend there, she falls in with Marswell.

Shortly thereafter, the Nordleys (Grace Kelly, Donald Sinden) arrive for a gorilla safari. Mrs. Nordley, disillusioned with her husband, takes a liking to Marswell, and the two have a brief affair. Kelly grows jealous, and the two women engage in a battle of wills over the hunter, while Mr. Nordley remains oblivious to it all. 

This is an old classic Hollywood triangle filmed in Kenya and Uganda. The music featured in the film was mostly performed by local native tribes.

Hatari! (1962)

Hatari , meaning “Danger” in Swahili , stars the legendary John Wayne takes the cowboy from the Old West to the African landscape. Filmed in Tanzania in the Ngorongoro Crater, this old Hollywood film is about a group of who traps animals for zoos. While not an activity I endorse today, this was the historical reality at the time.

A female wildlife photographer joins the group to document and finds herself the mother of baby elephants she tries to save.

The movie features the amazing scenery and wildlife of Tanzania and I recognized many of the places still from my recent safari.

The Naked Prey (1966)

The Naked Prey is set in the South African veld. This eerie movie starring Cornel Wilde is a dark tale that switched the traditional roles of a hunting safari.

The guide leads a troop of hunters through a tribe’s colony to start the hunt, but when the group offends the locals, he finds himself in the role of the animals – naked and being chased through the landscape by warriors from the tribe.

Young Indiana Jones Chronicles: Passion for Life

The Young Indiana Jones is a TV series, created by Steven Spielberg, featuring a 10 and later 17-year-old Indiana Jones on his adventures in his early year.  The set includes 3 seasons and 24 episodes

The “Passion for Life” episode focuses on a 10-year-old Indiana Jones as he goes on safari with his parent in British East Africa in September 1910.

Young Jones befriends a Massai boy named Meto who helps him in his search for the rare Fringe-Eared Oryx for former US President Teddy Roosevelt.

The scenery is spectacular and in typical Indiana Jones style, an adventure ensues as Indy finds himself in the middle of it all.   The episode is one hour, but the DVD set also has a complimentary disc with documentaries exploring the themes in each episode with historical clips and commentary.

What camera equipment should I bring on a safari for videography?

When it comes to capturing the incredible sights and sounds of a safari adventure on video, having the right camera gear is essential. There are a few key pieces of equipment that will help you capture stunning footage and tell a compelling visual story. Firstly, a versatile zoom lens is a must-have for any safari videographer. The ability to zoom in and out quickly allows you to capture both close-up details and wide-angle shots of the breathtaking landscapes.

In addition to a good zoom lens, investing in an image stabilization system can greatly enhance the quality of your footage. On safari, you might find yourself shooting from moving vehicles or trying to film fast-moving wildlife, so having stable shots is crucial. An image stabilization system will minimize camera shake and ensure smooth, professional-looking footage.

Lastly, don’t forget about audio! While visuals are important in storytelling through videography, sound plays an equally important role in creating an immersive experience for viewers. Consider bringing along an external shotgun microphone or lavalier mic setup to capture crisp and clear wildlife sounds as well as any narration or interviews.

With these key equipment choices in your camera bag, you’ll be well-prepared to create breathtaking videos that truly showcase the spirit of your safari adventure. Remember that it’s not just about the technical aspects but also about understanding how best to tell your unique story through videography – capturing not only the amazing animals but also the emotions and connections between them and their environment.

How do I prepare my camera gear for a safari?

When preparing your camera gear for a safari, there are a few key things you need to keep in mind. First and foremost, you need to ensure that your equipment is in top-notch condition. Safari environments can be harsh, with dust, dirt, and extreme weather conditions. Therefore, it’s essential to clean your lenses and sensors thoroughly before heading out. This will help avoid any unwanted spots or marks on your footage.

Another crucial aspect of preparing your camera gear for a safari is selecting the right wildlife videography equipment. Wildlife photography often requires long focal lengths to capture animals from a distance without alerting them to your presence. Investing in telephoto lenses will allow you to get those up-close shots while maintaining a safe distance.

In addition to the right equipment, considering lighting is key for successful wildlife videography on safari. Natural light is generally the best option when filming wildlife since it provides an authentic feel and avoids disturbing the animals with artificial lights. However, there may be instances where additional lighting is necessary when shooting in low-light situations or during nighttime safaris.

By ensuring that your camera gear is well-maintained and appropriately equipped with telephoto lenses for capturing distant animals, as well as considering lighting options when needed, you’ll be well-prepared for a remarkable wildlife videography experience on safari. Remember that being patient and respecting nature’s boundaries are equally important f actors in capturing truly captivating footage of these awe-inspiring creatures.

What is the best zoom lens for wildlife videography on a safari?

When embarking on a safari to capture wildlife through videography, having the right zoom lens is crucial. There are numerous options available, but one that particularly stands out for its exceptional performance in wildlife videography is the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens. With its impressive focal length range and superior image stabilization capabilities, this lens allows videographers to effortlessly capture close-up shots of distant animals without compromising on quality.

One key advantage of the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens is its versatility in capturing both stills and videos, making it an excellent investment for wildlife enthusiasts who want flexibility in their shooting styles. This lens has a sharp focus and renders vibrant colors, ensuring that every detail of wildlife footage is accurately reproduced. Additionally, its high-quality build ensures durability even in challenging outdoor environments found during safaris.

To further enhance your videography experience, consider using appropriate editing software specifically designed for wildlife filmmaking . Programs like Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro X offer advanced features such as color grading tools for enhancing vibrancy and contrast, as well as stabilizers to correct any camera shake common when using long zoom lenses.

By combining a powerful zoom lens like the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM with professional editing software tailored for wildlife filming, you can elevate your safari videography.

What are some techniques for filming wildlife on a safari?

When filming wildlife on a safari, capturing the right exposure is key to producing high-quality footage. The ever-changing lighting conditions in the wilderness can pose a challenge, but there are techniques that can help you master this aspect of videography. One option is to use automatic exposure mode, allowing your camera to adjust settings such as aperture and shutter speed based on the scene. However, for more control over your shots, consider using manual mode. This way, you can experiment with different exposures until you achieve the desired visual effect.

Another crucial technique for filming wildlife on a safari is mastering camera movement . Smooth and steady movements enhance the overall quality of your footage and create an immersive experience for viewers. One technique involves using a tripod or monopod to eliminate shaky shots when capturing videos from a stationary position. Additionally, practicing panning and tracking shots while following animals in motion adds dynamism to your videos and emphasizes their behavior in their natural habitat.

Overall, filming wildlife on a safari requires attention to detail and understanding of both technical aspects like camera exposure and creative skills like camera movement. By mastering these techniques and experimenting with various approaches, you will be able to capture awe-inspiring moments that effectively showcase the beauty of nature’s creatures during your safari adventures.

How do I capture good lighting for safari videography?

When it comes to capturing good lighting for safari videography, there are a few key techniques and considerations that can make all the difference in the final result. One of the most important factors is understanding your camera’s exposure settings and how they interact with the natural light of your surroundings. Wildlife videography often takes place in challenging lighting conditions, such as dawn or dusk when animals are most active, so it’s crucial to familiarize yourself with your camera’s ISO, aperture, and shutter speed capabilities.

Another effective technique for capturing good lighting on a safari is using fill flash or reflectors. Fill flash can help balance out strong backlighting or add an extra pop to your subject’s features. Similarly, reflectors can bounce sunlight onto shadows cast on your subject, creating more even and flattering lighting. These tools can be particularly useful when shooting in open savannahs where there may not be much natural shade available.

Regardless of the lighting conditions during your safari videography journey, taking advantage of golden hour- the period shortly after sunrise or before sunset – can provide you with magical lighting that adds warmth and depth to your footage. The low angle of this soft light creates long shadows that highlight texture and contours while emitting a warm glow through the atmosphere. Shooting during golden hour often results in richly saturated colors that give an ethereal quality to wildlife scenes.

What are some tips for composing shots on a safari?

When it comes to capturing the awe-inspiring sights of a safari on video, composing your shots correctly can make all the difference. The right camera angles and perspectives can bring your footage to life, immersing viewers in the stunning world of wildlife. So here are some tips for composing shots that will elevate your safari videography:

1. Get Low: To truly capture the grandeur and power of animals in their natural habitat, get down on their level. Shooting from a low angle will create a more intimate connection between the viewer and the subject, allowing them to see the world through the eyes of these incredible creatures.

2. Embrace Wide Shots: Don’t be afraid to go wide when framing your shots. Wide-angle footage allows you to showcase not only the wildlife but also its surroundings, giving viewers a sense of place and context. This can enhance their appreciation for both the animal kingdom’s beauty as well as its fragility.

3. Experiment with Different Perspectives: One way to add visual interest to your safari footage is by exploring various camera angles and perspectives. Try shooting from above or below eye level, incorporating unique vantage points that capture different aspects of an animal’s behavior or environment. These fresh perspectives will keep viewers engaged throughout your video.

By applying these simple yet effective techniques for composing shots on a safari, you can create visually captivating videos that transport viewers into nature’s most breathtaking scenes.

How do I stabilize my camera for safari videography?

Capturing stunning footage while on a safari can be challenging, especially when dealing with unpredictable conditions and wild animals. One of the most important factors in achieving professional-looking videos is stabilizing your camera. Shaky footage can distract viewers from the beauty of the wildlife and diminish the overall quality of your work. So, here are some tips to help you stabilize your camera for safari videography.

Firstly, investing in a good tripod is essential for capturing steady shots. Look for a sturdy tripod that is lightweight and portable, as you will likely be moving around frequently on your safari adventure. A tripod will allow you to keep your camera steady even when shooting at long focal lengths or in low light conditions.

In addition to using a tripod, another technique that can significantly improve stability is bracing yourself against a solid surface while filming. When standing on rough terrain or inside a moving vehicle, it may not always be possible to set up a tripod. In such situations, find something stable like a tree trunk or car window ledge that you can lean against or rest your camera on to minimize movement.

Remember, stability plays an important role in creating captivating safari videos that truly captivate viewers’ attention. By investing in quality equipment such as tripods and utilizing various stabilization techniques like bracing yourself against solid surfaces, you’ll ensure your footage remains steady and visually appealing no matter what challenges come your way during this extraordinary adventure.

What are some recommended camera settings for safari videography?

When embarking on a safari adventure, capturing the incredible sights and experiences is essential. To ensure you make the most of your safari videography, it’s important to have the right camera settings dialed in. Here are some recommended camera settings that will help you capture stunning videos during your journey.

Firstly, set your camera to manual mode for greater control over the exposure. This way, you can adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO as needed. For most safari situations, start with an aperture of around f/8 to ensure a wide depth of field while still allowing enough light in. It’s also crucial to have a fast shutter speed – aim for 1/1000th of a second or faster to freeze any movement in wildlife subjects.

Next, consider your white balance setting. On a safari, lighting conditions can vary greatly depending on the time of day and weather conditions. To get accurate colors without relying on auto white balance, try using the daylight preset or manually setting it according to the prevailing lighting conditions.

Lastly, don’t forget about focus modes. For moving wildlife subjects with unpredictable movements, using continuous autofocus (AF-C) or AI Servo mode is ideal as it tracks subjects and adjusts focus continuously. Additionally, enable back-button focusing if possible – this separates focusing from shutter release so you can focus independently while capturing footage seamlessly.

How do I capture good audio for safari videography?

Capturing good audio is a crucial but often overlooked aspect of safari videography. While the focus is usually on getting stunning visuals of wildlife, having clear and high-quality audio can greatly enhance the overall experience for your audience. Here are some tips to help you capture excellent audio while filming on safari.

Firstly, invest in a good quality external microphone that is compatible with your camera or camcorder. Built-in microphones are generally not sufficient for capturing professional-grade audio, especially in outdoor environments where sound can easily get lost or distorted.

Secondly, consider using a windscreen or furry cover for your microphone to reduce wind noise. Safaris often take place in open vehicles or natural habitats where wind can be a constant factor. Using a windscreen will help minimize unwanted noise and allow you to record clearer audio even in windy conditions.

Lastly, pay attention to ambient sounds and capture natural audio whenever possible. These sounds can add depth and realism to your videos, giving viewers an immersive experience of being on safari. However, make sure the ambient sounds do not overpower any important dialogue or narrations.

Remember, capturing good audio is just as important as getting great visuals when it comes to safari videography. By following these tips and investing in quality equipment, you can elevate the overall quality of your wildlife videos and create an immersive experience for your viewers.

What are some tips for editing safari footage?

When it comes to editing safari footage, there are a few important tips to keep in mind to ensure that your final video is captivating and tells a compelling story. First and foremost, pay attention to camera stabilization techniques during your safari shoot. Wildlife videography can often involve fast-paced movements and unpredictable animal behavior. Investing in a high-quality gimbal or stabilizer can help you achieve smooth, steady shots that will enhance the overall look of your footage.

Furthermore, consider utilizing different camera mounts to add variety and perspective to your safari videos. While handheld shots can be thrilling and immersive, incorporating other camera angles can further enhance the viewing experience. Experiment with mounting your camera on the side of a vehicle or use a drone for aerial footage. These different perspectives will provide unique viewpoints and contribute to the overall storytelling of your video.

In addition, don’t be afraid to experiment with post-production techniques such as color grading and adding effects or overlays. Safari environments often have vibrant colors and unique lighting conditions that can be further enhanced through editing. Play around with adjusting the saturation levels or adding filters that complement the natural scenery of your footage.

By paying attention to camera stabilization techniques during filming, utilizing different camera mounts for varied perspectives, and experimenting with post-production techniques such as color grading, you’ll be well on your way to creating stunning safari videos that capture the essence of these beautiful wildlife encounters.

How do I capture good footage from a moving safari vehicle?

When it comes to capturing good footage from a moving safari vehicle, there are a few key factors to consider. First and foremost, make sure you have the right equipment. A camera with a fast autofocus system is essential for capturing sharp images while on the go. Additionally, using a stabilizer or tripod can help eliminate any motion blur caused by the vehicle’s movement.

Another important aspect to keep in mind is your camera focus. In order to capture clear shots of wildlife and scenery, it’s crucial to have a good understanding of how your camera’s autofocus works. Experiment with different settings and practice tracking moving subjects before embarking on your safari adventure.

For those looking to take their videography skills to new heights, consider incorporating drone videography into your safari footage. Drones allow you to capture breathtaking aerial shots of the landscape and wildlife that would otherwise be inaccessible from a vehicle. However, it’s important to familiarize yourself with local regulations regarding drone usage in national parks or game reserves, as restrictions may apply.

In conclusion, capturing good footage from a moving safari vehicle requires the right equipment, knowledge of camera focus techniques, and perhaps even venturing into the world of drone videography. Keep these tips in mind as you embark on your next safari adventure and let your creativity soar!

What are some tips for storytelling through safari videography?

When it comes to storytelling through safari videography, finding the right wildlife videography angles can make all the difference. Instead of simply capturing animals from a distance, experiment with different perspectives to bring your viewers closer to the action.

How do I capture good footage of animals in low-light conditions on a safari?

When going on a safari, capturing good footage of animals in low-light conditions can be quite challenging. However, with the right techniques and equipment, you can ensure that your videos turn out incredible. One essential tool to consider is camera filters. These filters help enhance the quality of your footage by reducing glare and preserving natural colors in difficult lighting situations. Using Neutral Density (ND) filters during golden hour or dawn/dusk will allow you to maintain proper exposure while keeping detail in both the highlights and shadows.

Additionally, understanding wildlife videography lighting is crucial for capturing stunning footage in low-light conditions on a safari. It’s important to adapt your shooting style according to the available light sources. For instance, during twilight hours or when filming nocturnal creatures, making use of artificial lighting such as video lights or flashes could significantly improve your results. Furthermore, learning about animal behavior patterns can assist you in determining optimal locations for shooting during specific times of day when lighting conditions may be more favorable.

Remember, patience plays a significant role in wildlife videography on a safari. Animals move freely within their natural habitats and are not always predictable. Utilize your knowledge of animal behavior combined with an understanding of camera settings and equipment possibilities to maximize opportunities for capturing extraordinary moments even under low-light conditions – creating footage that truly stuns your audience with its beauty and authenticity.

What are some tips for capturing unique angles on a safari?

Capturing unique angles on a safari can greatly enhance the quality and impact of your wildlife videography. One effective technique to achieve this is to get down low and shoot from ground-level. This perspective not only adds drama and depth to your shots but also allows you to capture the animal’s movements from a more intimate viewpoint, evoking a sense of being immersed in their natural habitat.

Another tip is to make use of reflections. Whether it’s capturing animals drinking from a waterhole or photographing their reflection in still waters, reflective surfaces can provide stunning visual effects that add an artistic touch to your footage. Experiment with different angles and compositions to take full advantage of this visually pleasing technique.

Additionally, do not underestimate the importance of audio in safari videography. Closely observe the behavior and sounds made by the animals, as capturing these moments can add another layer of authenticity and emotion to your videos. Be patient and attentive, allowing yourself enough time for uninterrupted audio recording that truly captures the essence of being on a safari.

By employing these camera techniques like shooting from ground-level or using reflections, along with paying attention to audio details during your Safari experience; you will undoubtedly elevate your videography skills and create memorable footage that embodies both beauty and storytelling prowess.

How do I choose the right camera for safari videography?

When it comes to choosing the right camera for safari videography, there are several factors to consider that will ensure you capture the incredible moments and wildlife encounters in the best possible way. One important factor to consider is the camera settings. It is essential to have a camera that allows you to adjust settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. This will give you more control over your shots, especially in unpredictable lighting conditions.

Another crucial aspect to keep in mind when selecting a camera for safari videography is its ability to withstand rough conditions and extreme weather. Safaris can be dusty, hot, and at times even wet. Therefore, investing in a camera with good weather-sealing capabilities is highly recommended. Additionally, look for a camera with sturdy construction that can endure bumps and drops without compromising image quality.

Lastly, if you want your wildlife footage to truly stand out, consider using camera filters specifically designed for safari videography. These filters help fine-tune the colors of your footage by reducing glare or enhancing contrast. For example, using a polarizing filter can help reduce reflections on water surfaces or bring out the vibrant colors of foliage. Experimenting with different filters can add depth and richness to your videos while showcasing the stunning natural beauty found on safaris.

Overall, choosing the right camera for safari videography involves considering factors such as adjustable settings for optimal control over your shots, durability against harsh environments, and utilizing specialized filters that enhance the visual appeal of your wildlife footage.

To ensure your shots are perfectly exposed, it’s essential to understand the wildlife’s behavior and adjust your camera settings accordingly. Animals can move quickly or be in low-light conditions, so it’s important to have a basic understanding of manual mode and be ready to make adjustments on the fly.

Additionally, having the right videography accessories is paramount for capturing those awe-inspiring moments. A stabilizer or tripod is essential for keeping your shots steady, especially when observing fast-moving animals. Being able to capture smooth tracking shots will elevate the quality of your footage and transport viewers into the heart of the action.

How to prepare for a safari or wildlife photography trip

From the Kalahari and the Kruger to the Maasai Mara and the Serengeti, the Big Five demand more than just a zoom lens

Are you ready for your once-in-a-lifetime safari? From photographing the Big Five – that's lion, leopard, rhinoceros elephant, and Cape buffalo – to the equally fabulous cheetah, zebra and hippopotamus, venturing into rural Africa brings some environmental challenges that you’d do well to prepare for. 

Plenty of spare batteries and high-capacity SD cards aside, when you’re after that killer photo of Africa’s apex predators, you'd better be on your game. Here's what you need to know.

What's the best kind of lens for safari trips?

Do you need a zoom lens on a safari? If you don't want to miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime, absolutely. 

The focal length you're going to need if you want close-up photographs is something in the 300mm region (or the equivalent if you're not using a full-frame system). Many professionals will use much longer lenses, but something that can reach 300mm provides a good balance between suitability, affordability and practicality. Besides, a good safari guide will get you surprisingly close to your targets, particularly in private game reserves. 

You do still need significant magnification in national parks because they often restrict or exclude off-road driving. If you're planning to take photographs of birds, such as fish-eagles, Kingfishers and owls, then all of this is moot; the longer your zoom lens, the better.

• See also Best camera for wildlife

Do I need a wide-angle lens for safari?

Your priority is likely to be a close-up shot of one of the big five, and that's understandable, but don't forget that some animals comes very close, and also that you'll be travelling through some wonderful natural environments. 

From the Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania to Kenya's Maasai Mara, the Okavango Delta in Botswana and Namibia’s rugged Damaraland, where there is big game there are always big opportunities for dramatic landscape photography. So pack a reasonably wide-angle lens as well as a zoom lens, which will allow you to capture both animals and big landscapes. 

If you’re really tight on space, consider packing a compact camera or a pocket-sized action camera for wide-angle snapshots. 

Should I pack a tripod?

What kind of landscape or nature photographer leaves home without a tripod? Although you should definitely take some kind of support with you, it's unlikely you'll use it very much while out in national parks and game reserves because you're likely to be inside a vehicle most of the time. 

Does that sound restrictive? In lots of ways it is. Drivers are often busy plotting where to go next, and how to extract their vehicle from a traffic jam, and setting one up inside a vehicle is either impossible or just impractical.

So, instead of packing a regular tripod, consider taking a malleable tripod like the Joby GorillaPod SLR-Zoom or Shoot Flexible Sponge Tripod Stand for DSLR , which you can attach to the safety bars along safari vehicles, or at least use them to stabilise your camera. A monopod may also be used where a tripod wouldn't be realistic.

Also pack a wired or wireless camera remote shutter release, which you can use to help you reduce judder and camera shake when taking shots with the zoom full extended. Every little helps. 

What about a bean-bag support?

On a guided safari you won't be let out of the vehicle at any time. So arguably more useful than a tripod is a basic bean-bag support . These can travel with you completely empty; all you have to do is find some rice, or sand, and it becomes a handy support for your camera's long lens.

These are practical for general wildlife photography, but if you're on a self-drive safari, getting out of your car is not only potentially dangerous, but also counterproductive because animals will notice you immediately and scarper. 

Instead, treat your car like bird hide by winding down the window and rest your lens on a U-shaped bean-bag like the Stealth Gear Ultimate Freedom Double Fox or the Grappler , which both hook over a car door. A more lo-fi approach is to turn your wound-down window into a safe-zone for your camera by adapting a simple swimming pool noodle to fit over it. 

If you’ve got a few walking safaris planned, consider a harness or sling like the Joby UltraFit Sling Strap or Lowepro Topload Chest Harness , which can make a quick-draw easier.  

How to protect your camera

Dust and sand gets everywhere when you're on a safari, and that can spell trouble for your camera. It depends on exactly where you're going, of course, but expect that your camera will get filthy every day. 

Firstly, get some protective filters for your lenses (as well as some polarising filters). You can then protect your camera bodies from both dust and from bashed or dropped by using something like the easyCover , a silicone rubber case that includes an LCD screen cover, and which is available for most models of DSLR camera. 

Just as important is to use a camera bag you know well and have used many times before; there's nothing more annoying that grabbling a new camera bag only for your camera to fall out because you've forgotten to zip it up properly.

Of course, your camera is most at risk when you're changing lenses. The best advice is not to change lenses in dusty or sandy locations, which will limit how much dust and grime gets on your camera's sensor. However, that could mean bringing two bodies, which may not be practical. 

However, even when you're back at camp or in your safari tent, a simple air-blower like the Giottos GTAA1900 Rocket Air Blower or Ultra-Power Hurricane Air Blower is really useful for making sure your camera is dust-free before swapping lenses. Lastly, make sure you had double protection for your memory cards; something like the Beeway or Kupton K020 cases make sense.

What to wear in the bush

This might seem like a strange thing to think about when you're on a photography trip, but what you wear can drastically affect what kind of photographs you get. 

Neutral colours are always better than anything remotely brightly coloured. Anything that makes you stand out from the background will make you easily noticeable by wild animals, who will likely either back away or run away very quickly. That's no good for close-up photography; the answer is to wear something in safari-favourite khaki, though olive-green, grey or brown works just as well.

There are a few other clothing considerations to take into account. You're likely to be sitting on the back of an open vehicle in early morning, which can be quite cold, at least for an hour or two. So bring a beanie hat, a light jacket or hoodie, and a scarf or Buff to keep warm. Something you can stash in your camera bag is perfect. Either way, long sleeve shirts and trousers are essential in the bush, where mosquitoes and biting tsetse are a constant nuisance. Hiking boots and a wide-brimmed hat are also advisable.

How to travel light

Be very careful about hard-sided luggage. It's likely that you keep a soft camera bag near you, but don't be tempted to take rolling luggage without first checking your itinerary.

If you'll be traveling in light aircraft, expect there to be tight restrictions on weight. For photographers, that can be tricky, but packing your clothes and non-photographic gear in a duffel bags is a wise move. 

Firstly, know the rules and restrictions on all of your flights – including scenic flights – before you leave home. Secondly, know exactly what you have by using something like the Beurer Travelmeister LS-50 , a digital luggage scale that also has an integrated LED torch and 5,000mAh portable charger.

That may sound like a lot to pack, but don't overdo the non-essentials. Going on a safari is often about extracting as much as you can from a well-planned and well-packed camera bag.

iPhone Fix: When Videos Won’t Rotate to Play in Landscape Mode

Can you identify every status icon in this image? If not, you may find yourself in trouble the next time you play a video on your iPhone…

How do you encourage videos on your iPhone to play horizontally? Well, that’s easy… you simply rotate your device on its side to cue the video to rotate and play full screen in landscape mode. Right? (Barrett’s being a little silly.)

And to be clear, I’m not talking about vertical videos. I’m referring to horizontal videos that first pop up at a fraction of their size to fit in your vertically oriented iPhone as you typically palm it.

But what do you do when your gravity-driven iPhone reflex stops working, and your video remains locked in its portrait orientation after you’ve turned your phone?

Well, that’s exactly what happened to me!

The Icon Holds the Answer So, I figured some setting had gone awry. It was just a matter of figuring out exactly which one it was…

The irony was my iPhone was trying to tell me the answer all along, but I didn’t recognize the hint…

I had noticed the icon before. I just didn’t know what it meant! (lazy Barrett)

Portrait Orientation Lock After a little Googling, I discovered the answer. It means… ‘Portrait Orientation Lock.’ And when it’s on, that mode disables the phone’s ability to play videos horizontally.

So, here’s how you turn it off…

• From your iPhone’s home screen, open the Control Center
• Find the lock and arrow icon on the left side in the middle
• Tap it to deselect it
• Close the Control Center

It’s embarrassingly simple.

Cautionary Tale There’s just one final unexplained piece to my original mystery… How did Portrait Orientation Lock get turned on in the first place?

Perhaps I accidentally tapped it when I was trying to use my iPhone as a flashlight. Beyond that, I’ll just chalk it up to a practical joke from the video gods.

The lesson, of course is to always pay attention to every new icon that mysteriously pops up on your smartphone. You can ignore it for a while. But eventually, its purpose will reveal itself, and not always in a positive way.

Mobile devices are constantly evolving. You’d better keep up or your digital life is going to get squeezed… just like a video that refuses to rotate properly on your smartphone.

Take video landscape orientation

Hi. I am making a video. I am shooting with my iPhone in horizontal/landscape position but every time I play it back the video is vertical/portrait. How do I film in horizontal/landscape mode? Thanks in advance.

Greetings wonderro, 

To clarify, are you using the Camera app to record video or a third-party app? 

Next, when you begin recording the video, is your iPhone already in landscape showing the timer at the top center and the zoom number correctly for the orientation? If not, we’d like to have you try that and see if there is any change. 

Also, can you tell us if you’re watching the video back on your iPhone or via a different device? 

A few basics we also want to cover and especially if this is something you’ve accomplished with the Camera app in the past. 

Make sure Portrait orientation lock is not enabled in Control Center Rotate the screen on your iPhone or iPod touch 

Rotate the screen on an iPhone without a Home button

1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open Control Center .

2. Tap the Portrait Orientation Lock button to make sure that it's off.

3. Turn your iPhone sideways.

#video MOSCOW METRO ‘Spirit of a City’

LIMERICK band Moscow Metro have released a video for ‘Spirit of a City’ from the forthcoming EP of the same name. “‘Spirit Of A City’ explores several dark themes – feeling trapped by your situation, death and loss, social tensions and escaping the aftermath of a failed relationship,” says the band. Meeting through mutual friends, the quartet’s early rehearsals took place in a storage warehouse, a ten foot by ten metal box that shook with sound vibrations, leading to the inspiration for their name. Today Moscow Metro’s music is epic in sound and universal in language. In the coming months Moscow Metro will tour Ireland and Germany, playing Whelan’s Dublin on March 13 and Nenagh Arts Centre on March 29 before moving on to play Karrera Klub, Berlin, May 24 and joining The National and Warpaint at The Maifeld Derby Festival in Mannheim on May 30.
