Thanks for your kind words. It sounds like you are definitely on the right track. Everyone has their own style but my preferred setup is an APS-c body (7d mk2 or 80d currently) and 500mm f4L along with a 1.4x TC. I find it quite manageable for travel and to use hand-held in the field. I also use the 100-400 mk2 for a variety of situations and love the lens.

I don't personally use flash but know several people who do.

Hiring a knowlegable guide is a smart move. It can save you a lot of time and effort to learn about different areas and the species that are found in those areas.

If you have any specific questions please feel free to message me or send me an email and I will do my best to help you out.

Thanks.  Think I will rent the 500 and forget the flash.
