Choosing binoculars for safari and nature watching.?

Hi, I'm going to be spending 3 months volunteering on wildlife reserves in Africa and will invest in a high quality pair of binoculars. I've used 10x25 Leica before which has incredible clarity and magnification and lightness, but was limited in field of view (hard to get the context) and twilight ability.

I'm not sure whether to get 10x42 or 10x32 or 8x32. Anybody with longterm experience of working on safari / game parks?

What is the best compromise?

Many thanks


Stick with the Leica. Geta set of 10X42's but make sure you get the new "Ruby" coated objective lens model. Excellent UVA protection by day and quality and clarity in fading or lower level light conditions, that will be pretty common place in Africa. Pricey, but I am sure you are already aware that Leica quality costs....Good Luck!

    • Nikon 10x42 Monarch ATB Binoculars

    Ask a number of birding enthusiasts what the best binoculars are and most of the time you’ll hear brands such as Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss, etc.  Nikon is often left of the list.   This is a shame, because Nikon has a few models that are perfect for bird watchers and compare admirably with the more expensive and so called top-of-the-line models.

    Nikon has a long history of producing quality binoculars and makes a wide variety of binoculars.   Models include their ProStaff Waterproof, Premier LX SE, Action Extreme ATB, StabilEyes, Travelite, Ocean Pro and many more.  Perhaps one of their best models for birding is the Monarch ATB, in particular the Nikon 10×42 Monarch ATB model which are not only great for bird watching but for almost any other activity you could think of.

    The Nikon 10×42 Monarch ATB Binoculars have features that rival optics costing upwards of $1000, but for a fraction of the price.  They’re waterproof and fogproof.   They are also very rugged, coming with a rubber armor and shockproof body.  The optical clarity and colors are outstanding. The knob for focusing is easy to access and large, making it quick and easy to focus.  Nikon offers a lifetime no-fault guarantee, so it’s possible this could be the last pair of binoculars you will ever need to buy.
