Why the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR Is Ideal for Safari Photography

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR is designed for long-distance wildlife, birding, and action photography. Its reach and versatility make it a game-changer when photographing animals in wide-open landscapes like the Masai Mara or the vast Amboseli plains.

• Constant f/5.6 Aperture: Great for consistent exposure and background separation, especially during the golden hours of sunrise and sunset.

• Vibration Reduction (VR): Built-in VR minimizes camera shake, helping you get tack-sharp images even when shooting handheld in a moving safari vehicle.

• Superb Autofocus Performance: Fast and silent AF-S motor makes tracking quick-moving wildlife easier.

• ED Glass Elements: These reduce chromatic aberration and boost contrast, ensuring clean, vivid safari shots.
