Tanzania safari advice

[mex]

I'm fortunate to be going on a Tanzania holiday which will include a 3 day safari to Ngorogoro crater and Lake Manyara national park. Taking R6 ii with RF 100-500 and 28-70 2.8, anyone done a similar trip? if so any other lens you might recommend hiring to take?

The RF100-500 is now my 'go to' safari lens, this allied to the 27-70 has got things covered IMHO.

You can always take more kit, but other than perhaps a second body and a flash (for infill IF the guide and other people in your vehicle are happy for you to use it - ask each and every time!) I think you are fine.

……another body. You don’t want to be changing lenses in the field- lost opportunity and DUST.
The disposable shower caps found in hotel rooms make for cheap lens covers easily removed!
Enjoy your trip

Take some decent* binoculars with you.

*we have a pair of these for general uses and serve well as a minimum in terms of optical quality:

Opticron Explorer 8x42 WA ED-R Roof Prism Binoculars​

We each took Swarovski binoculars (SLC HD 8x42 and EL SV 8.5x42) to Zambia (and on many other trips) and they are just excellent, but rather steep price wise.

Thanks, I already own Zeiss SFL 8x40
