Safaris are somewhat passé. These days, folks are more likely to shoot an animal with a camera than a gun. Sometimes, though, that's easer said than done; animals rarely pose for the camera.

Traditional wildlife photographers--you know, like the ones that shoot for magazines like "National Geographic"--have a lens as long as the party sub sandwich that your office ordered for the last holiday party. There's a good reason for that: It's insanely difficult to get close to most kinds of wild animals, and even if you could get really close, you probably wouldn't want to. So the alternative is to stay far away, but pull in the action with a powerful zoom.
