Safari Binoculars for Women?
What are women’s binoculars I hear you ask? Well if you were expecting to find ones that have some sort of special eyepiece, or magical lenses that only work for women, I am sorry to disappoint you. Technically speaking there is no difference between “normal” binoculars and womens binoculars. The difference is [...]

Panasonic Lumix FZ100 Video Tests

This article forms part of my full review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 Review and focuses on the camera’s ability to shoot 1920 x 1080 60i (NTSC) / 50i (PAL) Full-HD Movies in AVCHD Format.

Mens Safari Jackets & Bush Jackets

Guide to Bush & Safari Jackets for Men
Some people go on Safari thinking that Africa’s weather is hot and so a good jacket is not that necessary. Not true, winters can be very, very cold in many safari locations and even in summer it can be pretty cold on an early morning game drive, on [...]

Womens Combat Trousers

Womens Combat trousers and Cargo Pants are very similar and in some cases they refer to the same item of clothing. But in general Combat pants are less formal than cargo trousers which in a way is surprising considering the military connotations.
The term “combat” also implies that the garment is more likely to be [...]

Womens Cargo Trousers & Pants

Just remember the ideal safari pants are comfortable to travel as well as walk in, tough, without being too warm to wear in hot conditions. Their colour must help you blend in with your surroundings and any extra pockets can be really useful for holding things like birding books, cameras and possibly binoculars.
Cargo pants are [...]
