Need zoom lens for South Africa Kruger park trip

[Visarend]

From that list:
24-105
100-400

You can also take your 18-55 if you want a little more on the wide end.

Just return from Kruger Park, agree with this set of lenses!

Not long back from Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa similar terrain to Kruger where Ive also been. I used the EF 100-400mm f4.6-5.6 IS USM lens MK1 version which I rented locally and it was on the camera 90% of the time. Ive since bought the MK II version which is a stunning lens.

The other lens I used was the 24-105mm with those two lenses on full frame I was pretty much covered apart from being distant from a leopard (could have done with the 1.4 converter) but as your on APS-C should should be fine & you dont want to change lenses often because of dust.

Regardless of your gear, always have it ready and don't try to cover all possibilities at the one time. Two camera bodies is ideal but on safari the best shots are often on offer when you least expect them. So having a body and lense ready to fire and getting the shot is generally more important than having the perfect camera/focal length. I have missed shots changing cameras - it sucks. Just my 2c.
