The next pair of binoculars that would make a great addition to your luggage on your safari is the Nikon 7294 Monarch ATB 8×42 Binocular. It is very possible you are bringing a Nikon camera with you, so if you already trust the Nikon brand or want your binoculars to match your camera then these binoculars are a great option.
These binoculars are made with eco-glass meaning they are made led and arsenic free. Since you are traveling into the wild to see some of the Earth’s most majestic animals, it is very important that the products you bring with you are made with the environment in mind.
While other lower quality binoculars may have lenses that dim the image brightness, the Nikon 7294 Monarch ATB 8×42 Binocular has dielectric high-reflective prism coating that ensures the brightness of the image you are viewing is the same as the naked eye.
The multi-setting click stop eyecups and long eye relief will allow all users, even eyeglass wearers, to feel comfortable while using these binoculars for extended periods of time.
These binoculars have a wide linear field of view, even with the 8x magnification. This means that if an animal is running across the horizon, you will not need to move as much but you will still be able to see it.
The 42mm objective lens diameter provides good quality images even at low light! A lot of animals, including lions, hunt at either dawn or dusk. If you know you will be out on safari at these times, then these binoculars are a good choice.
The Monarch ATB is 100% waterproof and fog proof, and is backed by Nikon’s 25 Year Limited Warranty and No-Fault Repair/Replacement Policy.
These are mid-sized binoculars, so they will take up some space in your backpack. Also at 1.34 pounds, they may be difficult for very young children (under 7) to hold up for long periods of time.
With all that said, the Nikon 7294 Monarch ATB 8×42 Binoculars (See at Amazon) are excellent binoculars that provide everything you will need for your safari trip if you are an average safari goer.
