Safari binoculars

What makes binoculars suitable for safari?

A safari requires a rugged, clear scope with enough magnification to observe animals at a distance, but also a wide field of view to not miss anything. A 8×42 or 10×42 is the most popular choice: lots of light, good handholding and perfect for moving game.

🔍 Note these features in safari binoculars:

  • Magnification:
    8× for calmness and overview, 10× for more detail (note: at 10×, a steady hand is important)

  • Light intensity:
    Viewing moments at sunrise or sunset require good lens coating and at least 42 mm objective lens

  • Water- and dust-proof:
    Indispensable in the dry season or sudden rain in Africa

  • Weight:
    Safari = a lot of lifting. Preferably choose models <700 grams

  • Eye distance:
    Do you wear sunglasses or eyeglasses? Note ≥16 mm eye relief

  • Quick focusing:
    Animals move - your viewer must be able to focus quickly
