If there's something I'll need, I want to be sure I have it. | |

| Originally posted by MarkInKC I think this is good advice. I do plan on having two cameras with me. I will have the DFA 150-450 of course, and I really want to bring the DFA* 70-200 that I have as well. It's a lot to carry, but I'm a firm believer in redundancy.. . . on our first trip, we were just carrying gear through airports, rent the luggage carts, and to and from vehicles on our second trip, we did do boat trips and a short walking safari from the lodge to the air strip so the weight of the gear was not a big consideration however if you are planning on going " . . . over hill, over dale . . . ", weight might be a strong consideration consider whether you would be carrying all your gear at once or whether some can stay in one spot while you wander with the other gear | |
