I think I'm going to add a 2nd E-M1 Mk II Body Rather than the 300mmf/4 for Safari

Congrats on three gorilla treks, I've only done one! I would use your EM1.1 for the 12-100 with your long lens on the EM1.2 that's what I've done for my safaris.--

Yeah, except my EM1.1 is in my previous owned column now. And I'd like the extra EM.2 not only for my safari, but I'm going to Santa Fe for a week of shooting landscapes later this Summer and I'd like the extra body there too.

I'll buy the 300 f/4 eventually.

I have done zero gorilla treks, I loaned my system out to a good friend who went last April to the volcanoes whilst I went on a more traditional two day all day safari ride to see the savannas and mountains. In Rwanda the gorilla treks are a crap shoot, you might see them you might not, she saw one female all day. You can go on a guaranteed gorilla sighting excursion, but the price is exponentially more I believe she was telling me.

My company I work for has operations throughout sub-Sahara Africa, so I've been flying in steady for years.

Can you pick me out amongst my good friends?
