My wife and I depart on August 29th for a 27-day trip to Southern Africa. Starting in Cape Town, we will travel north through Namaqualand for the wildflowers, and then into Namibia. We'll cover most of the scenic highlights of Namibia all the way to Etosha National Park, then east to the Okavanga Delta of Botswana.
Photography will include wildflowers, spectacular landscapes, exotic birds, and wild animals including the 'big five'. There will also be some culture photo ops as we will visit some indigenous people. All travel will be done by private car with no internal flights except Johannesburg to Cape Town at the start, and Windhoek to Jo'burg on the return. Nevertheless, we need to travel light.
I plan to take a D7100 and a D600. For the D7100 I'll carry my 16-85, 70-300, and 85VR micro. For the D600 I'll have the 24-85 and 135/3.5 AIS. In addition, I'll carry my 300 f/4 + 1.4 TC for use on either camera. The D600 will be the main camera for landscapes, wildflowers, and culture. The D7100 will be mainly for birds, animals, and macro.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
