Thank you for the excellent suggestion, dsmeltz.

I checked. Maximum carry on for flights within Africa on this Great Migration tour is only 11 lbs. We can take an additional 33 lbs. in checked baggage, but that's it.

My current plan (seems to be changing almost daily) is to take a Tamron 100-400mm lens on my D810, which will give me 600mm reach in crop mode, and carry a Panasonic Lumix ZS100 in my pocket as a back-up and also to pull out when I want a focal length less than 100mm.

More thoughts always appreciated.

It is always best to check. Neither option for being wrong is good. If you don't check and the limit is strict, you can't carry your camera. If it is larger and you opted for a utility camera, you may feel like you missed out.

And of course either error would leads me to being wrong according to my wife.

OK. Even if I checked and packed well, my wife would still tell me I was wrong.

Now there's a coincidence. Two hogs married to the same gal! Who'd have thunk??!!
