The small planes limit you to 20kg, including carryon. They also limit you to a medium size duffle bag in the baggage area. I carry on a small hand bag with a very small laptop along with my backpack that has the camera equipment. You could also consider a backup driver rather than the laptop. I have 12" laptop along with an external drive.

The plane we are taking has  a 15kg limit, not 20, including carry on. That is what my problem is i.e. finding a camera bag that can be my carry on and not weigh too much, taking away valuable kg. I do not intend to carry a laptop. All Inwill have is an iPad for reading and emailing purposes. I don’t intend to do any backup while on safari because of weight limits.

What do you mean by « backup driver »? How much does it cost? And weigh?
