When I went I simply didn't bring a camera bag. I traveled with a small duffel bag. My 2 bodies and lenses were wrapped in clothes in the bag. In the Land Rover I had a lens on each camera, extra batteries and SD cards (which were never needed) were in my pockets. Used a towel to protect them from dust. Less is more.

thank Jim for your comment. I will be going on a walking safari for one, so I do want a backpack. I looked at the Matador website and it is not what I am after (although interesting concept). Thx.

If you're really committed to bringing a backpack, check out Matador. I used one of their bags for a trip to Antarctica because I needed something waterproof when getting on and off the Zodiacs. Weighs a couple of ounces.
