Interesting article and some great photos. You will have the best idea of what kinds of shots you hope to take, but I would agree that the 100-400 lens would be ideal along with one that lets you get environmental / landscape shots. Given that you are traveling elsewhere in South Africa, you may want to take another lens or two with your other destinations in mind. Personally, I like having the option of using a relatively inconspicuous prime lens (like the 27mm) but it sounds like you may also have a point and shoot camera with you. (Note: I do not own any of the lenses you mention, so I am responding in general based on the Canon lenses I used on safari.)

 

Whatever you take in the way of equipment, hope you have a great time!
