Steve Perry holds classes for small groups; I went and learned a lot.

I went with backcountryjourneys.com a couple years ago and will be with them again in Jan 2020.

I live in the Cannon world but did Costa Rica last spring. My advice is more general. I had a 28-105 F4 and a 75-300 F4-f5.6 on a 7D. I had enough lens for everything but my tele lens failed to auto-focus quickly enough in low light for the fast moving monkeys. Bring the lenses with the fastest low light auto-focus. Also remember that you are going to be on moving boats in the mangroves so a good image stabilizer is a must.

Think about renting a 70-200mm which is sharper than the 80-400 and is great with a 1.4x. Take the 300PF!
