Thanks much for the advice.  I will definitely add to the film quantities
and have actually started testing some of the higher speed films (e.g, Fuji
Provia 400F and the 800 NPZ).  Do you see any need for B&W film?  Did you
have problems with dust (Sorry, last question)?

Lens and time restrictions would probably limit my "National Geographic"
quality photos, but I'm willing to give it a go!

The trip I went on was a kuoni tour, a big operator here in The UK.
My big worry was hand luggage, my nature trekker backpack was twice
allowed carry-on weight!! Thankfully neither airline checked the
weight (Air Kenya and KLM).
The two tips i have are  1) get a large monopod, one that raises to
eye level, for when you stand in the van and look out the roof -
although been bags may have worked, the monopod was invaluable - I
used my benbo trekker pod with no probs... and 2) fim - take twice as
much as you think you'll use, plus a bit more - and take much more
400 than you you first think - move of the really special game is
around first light and at dusk, where you really need 400 (in my case
provia 400f)
Just had an email from dad, he seems pleased with the results from
his eos so I guess we'll get together son and see!!
Sadly I don't have access to a film scanner but I will work on
getting some pictures on-line
Finally, discretion forbids any more talk of dutch girls......
Cheers
Pete
