After many years of schlepping bags of photo gear, I've pretty much concluded that all I really need for travel photography is one good-quality 24-70mm (equivalent) f/2.8 lens. You already have that in the Oly 12-40.

thanks David for your reply. For me, the Oly 12-40 would never be enough for travel (other than a safari even) and I have found that I have missed shots because I have to change lens to zoom in on somethings. That is why the Oly 12-100 is tempting, but at the cost of f/4 vs f/2.8

However, for a safari I would want also a long telephoto or tele-zoom. You already have that in the 100-400.

I think I would bring both of those lenses, ideally on two identical bodies so I didn't have to change lenses. I really don't know if there is a great single-lens solution for MFT; I'm pretty sure there is not one I would be happy with for FF or APS-C.
