Yankari What to Pack

Photo Equipment: Wildlife is often difficult to take a photo of, so a Zoom-Lens camera is what is needed. The difficulties are primarily because the animals are often spotted at a distance from the vehicle. It is even worse if you are trying to use a conventional camera to take a picture of an animal that is 30 meters away from you, and in the midst of plenty of foliage. Better still, a video-cam will be excellent. Films for cameras are sold at Wikki Camp, so too are batteries. You can also rent a zoom-lens camera from the park authorities, if it is not already rented out to another guest.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: I forgort to mention this in my accommodation section, but there is a camp-ground at Wikki Camp, complete with a standing water pipe that functions. However, you will need to bring your own camping gear.

For those interested in swimming at Wikki Springs, all kinds of swimming gear are sold at the two little shops in camp.
