I'm looking to book a last minute safari to South Africa for late January and would like some general advice on equitment to take.
I've been told the game parks in South Africa are a bit more controlled and generally you don't go off the road as much, therefore the game might not be as close as other countries. With that in mind I'd like some telephoto advice.
I have the following kit already:
- Canon 6D
- 24-105 L
- 100- 300 5.6L
- 40 2.8 pancake
The 100-300 5.6L is optically excellent, but slow. I'm also unsure if 300mm will be enough reach.
My consideration is to buy a 2nd crop body and have the 100-300 on say a 70D and the 24-105 on the 6D. Or to buy either a sigma 50-500 to put on the 6D or buy a 400mm 5.6L prime.
I like the idea of having two bodies so not to swap lenses in the dust.
Is there any other equitment I should consider?
