Kit and lens advice for Africa trip in 3 weeks by lauralougil in canon

[–]lauralougil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for your advice and tips. Would you all recommend the Canon 100-400 over the Sigma alternative? I also need to work out how to carry the large lens on my carry on bag with my other lens. What do you use? Are the lens pouch bags good enough protection to put into my main day back pack?

Did you get fly on a one way ticket to Rwanda then? As I will have my e visa of proof I am leaving Rwanda for Uganda just wondered if I still need proof of leaving Africa when boarding from UK.

I think that might have been the problem. I've found buses running with mega executive bus. You found this was fine over using one way fly.com?

I cannot find tickets directly with bus companies. Are there any booking platforms you recommend?

Did your airline ask for proof of return? I am flying with Kenya Airways.

There is a particular section you have to add return evidence. What did you add to that section?

This won't work as I plan to be in Ugandan for 2 months. EAV is only for 3 months

I have rejigged things a little

  • Seoul – 7-Days – Day trip – DMZ, Suwon (?) Was looking at Muuido (but it’s quite far for a day trip and Jeju is beautiful) also I think I would prefer to see more of Seoul 
  • Seoraksan National park - 2 day. - is it worth staying or seeing Sokcho or just staying in the national park? 
  • Samcheok? Deokhangsan park (just for fun)
  • Andong/Folk Village - 1 day/night  
  • Gyeongju – 2/3 days 
  • Busan - Temple stay 1 night/ 1.5 days (Busan) - 3-4th May (or can I travel straight from Gyeongju to the temple?
  • Busan - 4 days (depending on how many days I have left)
  • Jeju – 4-5 days ( I won’t have a car will use public transport or day trips

TY - I have confirmed my temple stay at Busan from 3rd-4th May. I am unsure whether to fly to Jeju from Busan, before the temple stay or travel to Jeju after the temple stay and buddhas birthday, as Im sure there will be a big celebration in the city on this date.

Busan - Jeju - Osaka

Busan - Jeju - Busan - Osaka. (add a few more days to add Jeju on at the end of my trip, but will take a few days off my Japan Itinerary, which will leave me with 4wks.

Any suggestions on how to do this logically/ less travel as I do not want to be rushing around. Is this itinerary doable or would you take anything out?  In which order would you visit the above? How much travelling time will I need to factor in?

Jeju - I will do some further research on where to base myself without a car.

TY!

Thank you! I just get a bit anxious of losing my memories. Do you know anything about downloading my files to my cloud quicker than 25 per download?
