The right photography gear.
For all advanced photographers we recommend you bring one or two DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras that have exchangeable lenses to help you easily switch so that you capture different contexts like wide shots. And a second camera would be a backup in case of a worst scenario.
Besides the camera and lenses, photographers need to carry other camera accessories like an external hard drive for securing photos, a deal of memory cards, a charger, extra batteries, camera bag, cleaning wipes and a rain cover.
Time to travel.
South Sudan has a wet and dry season and offers variations of weather even on a same day. However, the dry season is the most crowded and popular season because it is advantaged with clear weather, high temperatures and the landscapes are usually dry.
Some photographers plump for the wet season in South Sudan because it’s always less crowded allowing you to take all the time you would need to take good captures. The dramatic skies, green scenery, less dust and the better lighting are also a good deal of capturing the best photos.
