Your lens should be quite sufficient, I used a 28-300 on my last trip (Zambia, Zimbabwe, S. Africa, Tanzania, and Kenya) and didn't use the 200-500 I brought at all.
A review is someone else's evaluation, experience is much more personal. Also experience is a tough teacher, she gives the test first.
It was an overcast day, after 6 in the evening with a fairly slow lens (28 - 300mm), I was interested in the kind of resolution I would get with my new camera. I shot at 1/60th @ 5.6 at ISO 400 to 1/125th @5.6 at ISO 2500 and I couldn't tell any difference in the 50 to 60 photos I shot. Not particularly scientific, just amusing myself.
I rode in the "Texas Raider", it was worth every penny. How our men flew 10 hour missions in these things is beyond me.
Here are a few pics from my window.
I have been to Africa several times; both hunting and photographic safaris. I think the most oustanding outfitter for India or Africa is "And Beyond". We spent 4 weeks traveling through Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. We were there from Septemper 8 thru October 3 2017. We were in the Masai Mara and the Serangetti during the migration and were never crowded or had any problem getting good photo ops.
Here are a few of the 3000+ photos from a month in Africa.
