<p>Nikon D500 with the Nikon 80-400 VR if just one body and lens. If you like to travel with two body/lens combos so you do not need to change a lens in adverse conditions and money is no object get a D5 with a 70-200 f2.8 for low light situations. Might not be bad idea to bring along the very inexpensive Nikon 28-70 AF-D f3.5- 4.5 when a short lens is needed for an up-close wildlife encounter like when that lion or rhino walks up close to your safari vehicle. Available used for about $100 and it is small and not heavy like the f2.8 version.<br> <br /> Have done the above with D3, D700, D4 and D4s bodies and now would suggest the above two newer bodies.<br> <br /> No experience with Canon but I also am a Fuji shooter. The Fuji X-T10 is a body to consider. Get the compact 27mm f2.8 and their 55-200 and you have a very competent basic outfit that is much less expensive and many, many pounds lighter. And the difference in bulk is unbelievable. However in my experience with all of these bodies the Fuji is not the equal of the Nikon in rapid action wildlife photography or low-light situations. especially when you are working hand-held. Fuji recently came out with a zoom in the $2,000 range that has more reach but I have not worked with that lens.</p>
