Under a 100 is tough. Look at Nikon or opticron. I use Nikon monarchs for other things. Either 8 x 32 or 8 x 42

A monocular works much better for me. I discovered this after my return from Botswana. I’m an anomaly, my eyes can’t focus with binoculars. I know it doesn’t make any sense, and I’ve tried my best with binoculars.

Try before you buy! Get what works for you. Everyone has different visual acuity and other visual conditions- despite the same power, what works for one person may not be ideal for another. My wife wears glasses and finds it almost impossible to use binoculars at all.

Suitable brands can be found at around $100. We bought a couple of pairs for our grandkids for Africa last year at that price from REI but I can’t remember the brand. We got the ones I think that were 8x 32 as it was explained that the higher number ones were more prone to shaking when viewing. They worked well and were sufficient for animals that were far away. Having said that, most were right by the vehicle

I have so many hats its not even funny but the one I always go to is sold on Amazon, yup. I have it in 3 colors.. It is functional, SPF 50+ has a wide brim, it doesn't flop in the wind and has an air vent, it travels well. And it is under $20.

You will be so tired after two game drives that all you’ll want to do is eat dinner and go to bed. As many others have mentioned, it is very casual and no one notices what you wear day to day. Most times we went straight to dinner after washing up and didn’t change clothes. Did the K&T last September. Neutral colors, comfortable and layers as mornings and nights are cool.
