I noticed this thread which would give you some examples of safari pictures taken with the Canon sx50:

I hope to go to Kruger NP and other places in South Africa later this year and that is the camera I'm taking.

Those are great pictures.

I am born and bred in Zimbabwe and then moved to SA where I lived for many years. Let me know if you want some safari pointers, ones that travel agents don't necessarily know. We have done many great big 5 safaris in really good malaria free game reserves other than the Kruger.

Game drives are usually best during first and last light hence wanting a camera with a fast lens.

The SX50 is $100 cheaper than the Panasonic FZ200, certainly something to consider.

The new SX700 also looks like a great option at about $50 cheaper than the SX50.
