Welcome to the forum from Scotland

A foam pad or plastic bag should do the job

Warm and waterproof clothing and something to sit / lie on, phone, midge net and insect repellent (west coast of Scotland and Highlands), chocolate and car keys.

Weight of camera gear has never been a problem for me. My heaviest lens is just over 3kg and I hand hold that or use a monopod.

There is also a normal leopard leaping from a huge height onto prey in Planet Earth III. Truly stunning.

Amazon has what appears to be an official OM-1 for £1599.

Welcome to the forum. One of my ancestors was once mayor of Salisbury (14th century)

I haven’t been on safari in India, but I have been to South Africa. I think you would regret not having a long lens and a shorter lens. In Africa I had a Canon 7D2 with a Sigma 120-300 f/2.8 and almost always had a TC on. I also took a 5D3 with a 24 - 105 f/4. Both got a lot of use. Sometimes...
