Sure, I just want you to know I didn't answer your original questions to solicit business. I did it to try and help. I will not be doing the quote my partner who handles sales will do it. She is really nice and you can contact her directly at nandi@proudafricansafaris.com. If you don't feel comfortable contact me directly.

You can hire porters for very little money. They will carry all your gear. I used a 70-200.

Yes,two days in the ngorogoro crater the balance in the southern Serengeti/ ngorogoro conservation and the central Serengeti which is seronera. February is calving time so it's high season. The migration is usually in the conservation area or southern Serengeti. Arusha national park is a nice place to start if you want an easy first day. It's personal preference whether you go right out or a lay over day. Arusha national park is very scenic. There are a fair amount of animals. However there are no cats. Lake Victoria is beautiful but no large animals. It's pretty far from where the real action is in February. If you were going in June then it wouldn't be bad for a day trip.

You have a long time. There is no off roading in Tarangire, Manyara, crater and the Serengeti. In the conservation area there is off roading. And in February the migration is there. So most places you will need as long a lens as you can take. You should have two bodies. One with a long lens and one with no more than 200-300. Don't spend too many days in tarangire and Manyara. Tarangire in feb is not great. Manyara is a half day no more. You want to be in the crater two days and the rest in the and central Serengeti and the ngorogoro conservation area. You need adapters at least two to charge at night. Find out if your operator has bean bags on the truck? If not bring one. No pods the angles don't work on most trucks because they are pop up. I use safari sacks. Bring lots of memory and extra batteries. Also, you should have a laptop with a good size hard drive. The lenses the other guys suggested are just fine sigma 150-500 or 50-500. Make sure you have OS. it gets windy in February so shake is an issue. Any other questions just ask away.

Hello,
I can help you. What country or countries are you traveling too? I have a safari company in Tanzania. I travel there two or three times a year.
