On my Safari in Feb 2021, I decided to take a lanyard because I had got the new larger iPhone and realized it would not fit my pockets. Little did I know, the little purchase was such a handy buy.
So many reasons I was so glad I had my lanyard.
Kept me from dropping my phone - nothing worse then a cracked phone on holiday.
Did not have to ‘find’ my phone. On my past Safaris, when I am juggling my camera, my backpack, etc I am quickly stashing my phone somewhere only to have to search around where put it away. That panic was cut out with my handy dandy lanyard.
Speaking of finding my phone’, I was at my lodge in Southern Serengeti, enjoying my bush fire in the evening, when some guests asked me if they know how to find a phone. One of the guests, on a game drive, lost her phone while taking photos - it was in her pocket - and they were trying to find where she dropped the phone. It was pitch dark when they were trying to trace her steps, and when I asked in the morning, they were not successful in finding the phone. I was thankful my phone was on my lanyard, right beside me.And of course, a quick photo opportunity, and my handy phone was easy to grab because it was right in front of me.
Now let’s get your on Safari so you too can use that lanyard. Or not, if unlike me, you are responsible with your phone.
