Depends what sort of travel you intend to do. Unless you're going to be photographing wildlife (you did mention a safari) then I wouldn't take a 100-400. A good alternative is to stick with your 70-200 and put a 1.4x mkiii onto it... I've read some reviews that suggest this combination may be sharper than the 100-400 (albeit with slightly less reach)
