do you recomend this for a safari trip?

I have.never been on a safari. However,if I went on one I would not hesitate to take this along. It is light, easy to carry in your pack or even your shirt pocket. I would recommed it for any situation where you want a closeup view.

I think it would be a good item for any trip, as it's small and easy to carry or pack. I like the field of view it offers, the only con is that it takes two hands to hold and turn the focus wheel that can be hard to turn. I like this item except for the one con mentioned.

Only as an accessory to long range optics such as spotting scopes, binoculars or cameras with telescopic lenses.

I highly recommend this monocular, I think it would be a great tool for a safari trip but I don't think it would replace the safari grade binoculars because of their field of view.

I think it would be ok, the bag is roomy and well paded. Price could also drive your decision. Its not fashion.

I don't think it would do that very well. It met my needs as I did a zoo tour with about 20 -40 people. Everyone was fairly near me, though.

At the same time? Probably not. My Congo African Grey fits well enough for travel and short periods of time but he can pretty much just turn around and the perch isn't very big so you'd have to add one.

Probably not a good idea as the pack is not quite that sturdy. I use mine for light day trips and hiking. I sometimes take my iPad and that's about the max size I would take. Hope this helps.

I have had pretty good results with my safari on flights. I usually tuck them in a ziplock bag though, just in case. I definitely wouldn't leave it in a good shirt pocket or anything like that. Just asking for trouble. But that said, I've been on dozens of flights over the last six years since I bought my Lamy and had zero leakage events from flying.

Exactly like the Safari except it is aluminum instead of plastic. I like it a lot.

I think so - at least the specs say so. I've travelled to several places in Africa and had no problems

I have both. the safari is a lot lighter and made of plastic. the al star is all metal/aluminum and heavier. the difference is only the weight and material.

Yes its waterproof... the issue though is you will sweat in it. If your going to Africa, try a lightweight hammock with a tarp for element protection. I would not recommend this for hot weather if you want to be fully enclosed. It does not have "bathtub" flooring that goes up the sides, so if your site gets flooded, I am not sure how this will hold up. Again, in the jungles and hot areas, I would strongly suggest you invest in getting OFF the ground completely, then with paracord and a tarp create a weather barrier.

Absolutely! We are using it in and out. Taking with us when we're going to parks or visiting someone. You wouldn't regret this purchase

I would recommend the sevylor rio instead of the quickpack. It is better made and it is open like a canoe. It doesn't track in the water quite as well as the quickpack but for an inflatable it's a fun way to get away from the shoreline and get some exercise.

We took them on a 10-day African Safari and they worked great. Amazingly clear sharp images. Lots of bouncing around on dirt roads. Never rained so can't comment on waterproofing.

For that short distance it would be ok, as long as that they get along good. I would say you could transport 3 african treys in it possibly 4, for short trips.

I would assume you would enjoy it there, the one I purchased was for my son, he is home in Panama with it and loves his. PanamaChris

No. The three holes on the Serpa are to close together. Vs the safariland is more spread apart.

This camera is not capable of taking quality photos such a trip like Safari. It does produce great results for its affordable price and compact sizes. I prefer her to buy Sony's new RX10 bridge camera or the Olympus Stylus 1 long zoom camera, if she really doesn't want to step into DSLRs.
