I am under 60. I shoot 99% of the time in manual. I don't do any PP beyond cropping, some sharpening.

I have also been to both cities and agree. A good walk around lens and maybe a 50 or 35mm prime, a good point and shoot and you should get some fantastic pictures!

I was in Africa last year. I brought the Tamron 18-270 and a back up lens (75-300 kit lens). I found it to be all I needed. You will find that the animals get pretty close. A longer lens would have been handy in a couple of instances and when we go again I would likely bring something like 120-200 as we'll.
You really don't want to have a lot of gear. Even with just my wife and a driver quarters can get cramped. It is also difficult to change lenses when out in the bush with the dust and wind. Keep camera covered at all times. I also would not recommend a tripod or even monopod. Too cumbersome and your chances of using are pretty few and far between. What I did find handy was a beanbag. Our driver provided one and it really helped.
If you have not already booked I would highly recommend Access 2 Tanzania. They are in the upper price range but we'll worth it. They pay their guides well, they all speak very good English and are very well versed as guides. We were very fortunate as my wife is something of a birder and our guide was as we'll. so when the big game was not around we got to do some birding as well.
We had a fabulous time and got some great pictures. Have fun!
