CD recorder in Kenya safari...
Hello,
I'm going to take my digital camera to Kenya safari. I'm looking for any information about computers with cd recorder availability in Masai Mara, Samburu and other National Parks in Kenya. Is possible to record any CD with digital photos in Lodge? Or schould I take my nootebook or other image store? I know that I can record CD in Nairobi or in other towns, but what about National Parks? Best regards, Lee |

Best regards, Lee Don't expect to find what you need for digital photos in another country. The only sure way is to provide what you need yourself. -- CSM1 http://www.carlmcmillan.com -- |

I use a digital camera too. I travel with an Image Tank, but there are
lot's of other similar devices that will allow you to download your flash card. The device should connect to a computer by a USB cord and you can have CDs burned at a computer or photo shop in larger cities. If you have a notebook, get a flash card reader and take that. If your notebook can burn CDs, make a back up copy of your pictures on CD as you travel. Remember that you have to be able to charge batteries on both you camera and whatever device you take for storing images. Check that they will use 220 volt current if you come from North America and get an adapter plug that will allow you to connect to Kenya outlets. (If you cannot use 220 volts you will need a power converter as well.) It is not a bad idea to have a battery charger that can plug into the 12v cigarette lighter socket in a truck or car.

Is possible to record
any CD with digital photos in Lodge? Or should I take my notebook or other image store? I too had a similar question and am contemplating bringing a "digital wallet"-type device. I have included a hyperlink to a review of one from dpreview (excellent photography site). http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/digitalwallet/ There are several other similar devices and you should check out as many as possible should you choose to go this route. Who knows... I might just buy a few 4GB Compact Flash cards and hope it is enough. Don't forget extra batteries for that digital camera of yours. Have fun, Justin |

Best regards, Lee I am about three years out of date regarding Kenya, but my memory of the hotels there is that the more upmarket you go, the better the facilities. Business persons would be going there, so they would need such facilities. Also, the cost of CD read/rewriters has dropped rapidly, so the good hotels would likely be buying these things easily. Can I give you a 'plug' for a friend I know in Nairobi? She is called Anastasia, and runs a minibus and tours/safari service there. I became her friend, and I stress I make no money out of her business. But she helped me a lot when I visited Kenya, so I said I would help her to get some business when I got home. She runs Ana's Tours & Travels, and her e-mail is She is a mine of information! - Rick in London |

We are going to Uganda in a few weeks for our honeymoon and are facing
the same problem. We've bought a 1Gig flashcard. We figure that will do. Try that, perhaps. I think ours cost us $USD275. Pia |
