Planning a Trip to Africa.... Could Use Some of Your Advice

[kundalini]

Oh, something I forgot to mention about the shipping.......
If it happens, the parcel will be shipped from the local office he to the remote office there. Nothing like going to some arbitrary destination. Does this change thing?

After reading the responces, I am more inclined to do the carry-on with the gear.

Honestly your D700 set is just too big and heavy to me........Something like a D90 ....

Uhmmm, I don't have, nor do I desire the D90. The D700 or D300 plus my honker lenses don't bother me for weight. Perhaps you should look into a local fitness center. The D80 stays at home btw. Thanks anyway.
