When I went to Kenya and Tanzania this past july,someone recommended a headband flashlight.I purchased a good one from an outdoor store (about 65$ u.s)and it was the most important thing I could have taken. While on safari, the ground can be rocky and uneven and the tents are not always 10 feet from the dinner spot and campfire. I used it for walking back to my tent, in the dark, reading in my tent and occasionally during the night when duty called and I stepped out of the tent.

p.s. if you do step out during the night, take time to turn off the light and look up at the most wonderful night sky you have ever seen. Say hello to the southern cross for me.
