I will be going on a safari in Tanzania and I am looking for a backpack that will be

1) as light as possible (because of the 15kg weight restriction on ALL luggage i.e. checked luggage + carry on). If the bag weighs too much, it will take away valuable weight for me.2) it will be my carry on bag, so besides camera equipment, it needs to be able to hold a few clothes items, an ipad, all chargers, toiletrie, etc. 3) i will be carrying the following gear: Lumix G9, PL 100-400, Oly 40-150 Pro, Oly 12-40 Pro, Oly em10 mk2, and probably the Panasonic G85 (if I buy it)4) I really would prefer not to pay more than 200 $ US for it.

Thank you all for your help and advice.

Seems you have a huge variety of shooting conditions you can choose to shoot with those cameras and lenses. Thus, because your system is modular, I would only recommend a modular system that will fit many bags for many shooting conditions.

There are protective modular bags like the apecase cubz and other more expensive types. I like the cheap apecase cubz because it's very light, and provides enough protection without being bulky. As a result, I use 4 of them of different size, and use them in 3 back packs, or a tote bag for a variety of combinations depending on where I'm going. Plus, these back packs allow for other essential gear that you just don't have in dedicated camera bags.

That sounds like a possible solution. I took a look at their website and it looks interesting and offers versatility. Thank you for your advice and suggestion.

Thank you.  One thing I forgot to mention.  "Accessories" like filters, batteries, memory cards, etc...  With the modular system, keeping them together in one small bag or container helps avoid leaving stuff at home in another other bag.
