Hi Leigh. I dont know much about the 500 or your lenses, but many on here will. Just wanted to say welcome to TP, you'll enjoy it and get a lot from it too

Welcome to TP Leigh.

The 50-250 should do you OK for your safari. Anything longer/better quality will be muchly expensive! However head off to the equipment section and ask away.

I'll leave the Phil Collins comments to others

Ian.
