We've made our bag from sails. Sail cloth that is, using the 100% climate neutral VX-21 X-Pac materials. Providing maximum protection while maintaining its ultra lightweight portability.

With our High Visibility Blue Lining never forget to zip up again! The Kiboko Backpack line adds an extra layer of protection with this visual cue.

Our bags are infinitely configurable and come with plenty of extra divider types to accomodate any setup imaginable. Our dividers are also made out of Artillion Foam which is the same stuff used in motorcycle helmets. High impact protection, low weight and profile.

The Kiboko 30L is designed to carry the maximum gear while staying within international flight carry-on size regulations. The bag comes in at 3.9lbs freeing up weight to bring extra gear instead of extra bag on your next trip.

Stowable shoulder straps give the bag a less technical look when storing.

Have Sony 600 prime on one side, 2 cameras and 2 lens on other, plus batteries, chargers, etc.

I wear this onto airplanes for international trips and have had no complaints from attendants. I have it completely full. My 2nd carryon is a Bagsmart with wheels 16-inch underseat model. The many pockets in the Bagsmart, have my laptop, my laptop and cell phone charger, sensor cleaning stuff, lighted magnifier for sensor cleaning, rocket blower, lens wipes, cable release, and all the other crazy stuff needed for cameras, like 1 extra lens cap, etc.

Perfect Bag for Kenyan Photo Safari in 2026

I already had the Kibokio 30L but not the one with the laptop sleeve. In order to pare down my needed bags and keep the weight down I bought the 30L+ for the forthcoming trip to Africa. This bag is perfect for trasnporting my big glass, a pair of camera bodies, and additional lenses with my laptop in a single bag.

Colors unavailable

Still awaiting green. Now you like the below but can’t physically “buy” anything but black “Sahara and Slate Available Now; additional Forest Green available mid-Decembe”…. Discouraging since I tried reaching out but lack of response is unsettling to even move forward. - is the bag a 5? Could be but I’m not utilizing my funds on a bag color I don’t want. Customer service appears to be lackluster. Having limited stock is not a 4 or 5 star either.

X-Pac VX-21

In all of our gear we use X-Pac VX-21, a sailcloth-inspired laminated rip-stop nylon. This is the gold standard in materials for bags. Even after years of abuse it holds up as a durable, water resistant, and utlra lightweight material. Some of our legacy users are still using their original Kibokos from 10 years ago.

Main Compartments

Our signature Butterfly style duel front access allows you to access the contents of your bag quickly and without exposing everything to the elements. Pack different variations in each side for maximum organization. Pro body DSLR and lens combos fit well inside the 30L Kiboko. There are also webbed zipper pockets on the outside panel of the main compartment for small misc items. The webbed design allows you to see the contents.

Our History

Solving for a critical need: Weight

Co-founders Trevor Peterson and renowned wildlife photographer Andy Biggs created Gura Gear to answer a problem critical to traveling to extreme locations: weight limits on photo gear.

En-route independently to East Africa, both Andy and Trevor got into some trouble with the carryon restrictions at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam. “I had packed two Nikon Pro DSLR bodies and 200-400mm f/4, 70-200mm f/2.8, & 24-70mm f/2.8 lenses, putting me past the weight limits. It took some convincing to get in the air, "-Trevor.

Talking over the campfire after a long day of photographing wildlife, Andy and Trevor discussed what the perfect camera bag would be. Literally on the back of napkin, the Kiboko backpack was sketched out. 

Over two years of development, eight rounds of prototypes, and one patent application later (and one very frustrated factory manager), the Kiboko camera backpack was launched. 

Great add-ons for the Kiboko Bags
