The gear that you have also reflects the type of photography you want to shoot. Take the following list as recommendations based on what and how I create my own images:

1- Starting with the obvious: A (dSLR) camera with at least one lens.

2- Batteries: Backup batteries can never be enough. You can upload your batteries in your rental truck or at the lodge/ guesthouse. Be aware that you might need a 12V plug for the car and an adapter for Namibian sockets.

3- Lenses: A selection from wide angle all the way through large focal lens will give you ample compositional possibilities. Zoom or prime, it doesn’t matter.

4- Tripod: My own belief is … the bigger the better.

5- Remote control: To minimize tremor to the camera and for long exposure images.

6- Filters: Circular polarizing filter, ND grad filters.

7- Backpack: Protect and carry around all your gear through some very rugged terrain.

8- Drone: Most areas do not allow drones. These will be clearly marked and otherwise I recommend just common sense in using these utterly loud and intrusive flying objects.
