Re: In search of a Light weight bag pack for a safari

I travelled with the Think Tank Airport Essentials to Africa, although my weight limit was 20kg. That bag handled 2xE-M1, 100-400, 40-150+TC, 12-35/2.8, and the 17/1.8. Also batteries, chargers, a My Passport drive, iPad, battery pack, etc.  I don't know of a bag that would also accommodate clothing and personal items and be smallish and lightweight.  I used a small collapsible bag for my personal items, which went in my checked duffel once we got to Africa.

I could have hit the 15kg limit by eliminating my tripod (never used) and some extra clothing.  But I don't think I could have packed my gear in a better bag given the size limits.
