usually, for card readers (and especially for the Type A CF Express external card readers) the cable is permanently attached to the card reader...at least that is the situation with my Benfeireader:
so my guess is the slot (port) in my Dell laptop is likely the problem slowing down the data transfer, because I don't have that problem with SD cards.

Look forward to hearing how it goes with the R5ii with the 100-300. If I was going back to Canon I would certainly grab the RF 100-300 and either the R5ii or maybe even the R5.
Also I have to say, the Olympus 150-400TC was easily one of my favorite lenses. I took some really great shots with that on safari in TZ.
And i finally found a way to fir it all in my ThinkTank Roller. Had to leave the RF 100-300 Lens hood out. And no way to have the bodies attached to lenses.

I am assuming that is the Advantage XT version. I used the XT extensively and I just bought the regular Airport Advantage for the Sony kit I just put together. Have a great time!!!

We had one overnight rain shower the the Mara, and one 5 minute rain shower at 4pm one afternoon.
Wow, very little during a time that's known to be a short rainy period. The weather is so unpredictable nowadays. Sounds like you scored although I do like afternoon showers occasionally to create some drama in the skies. They have been getting some rain though, you just missed it.

You will develop a very close relationship with mud during the rainy season in the Mara. But it is an amazing time to photograph there.
A couple of thousand images a day. I must be doing it wrong. I never take more than a couple of hundred, and most time well under a hundred.
Of this thousands of images how many will you process, and how many will you print? If I use that as a criteria even with only a hundred shots a day my hit rate would be well less than 1 percent. Some of the rest may get shared digitally, but the vast majority sit on my server unseen.

Take a look at the images he brought home. I’d say he is doing something right.

I've starred about 400. exported about 100. Will print maybe 3-4.

That would be in line with the final results I would expect also. A digital frame costs zero so you probably had a great time shooting all the frames, so worth doing. I lived and worked in East Africa starting in about 1976. Until recently I never even owned a camera. So, I love Africa and I am used to see Africa with just my eyes. I just don't spend that much tile looking through a viewfinder. These days I also love photography, so maybe that will change a bit in the future.

I don't think there's a way to do it wrong as you can get good results no matter how many you take. But with the new camera technology we are pretty much at the point of shooting video and taking frame grabs. So an animal walking toward you would be full on video until that one spiit second it looks into your lens, and then you'll have a few to choose from for the best leg/body position. So in the end you still have maybe the same amount of images in your final collection, but you have more to choose from and you throw a way a ton of great images. Luckily, with programs like photo mechanic it's easy to cull them fairly quickly and select your favorites.
My whole workflow has changed since the end of the 1DX era when 16fps was max. I used to import everything, select my favorites, and delete the rest. Now, I don't import anything other than my final picks after using PM to cull. All the rest gets deleted.
