I am leaving this weekend for my annual trip to Kenya. I am currently looking at taking the two A1s, the 400 GM, 135GM, 50GM and the 20G plus a 1.4x teleconverter. I'm on the fence with the 300 this year as well as the 70-200GM II. I find it easier to use the primes but I have a little space in the bag that the 70-200 or 300 can still fit! If I took the 70-200 I would skip the 135 and 50.
I would 100% take the 70-200mm over the 135mm and 50mm. Unless you're planning to shoot some night sky images I wouldn't bother with the 20mm either.
I spend roughly 90-120 days each year in South Africa and Tanzania and when safari if my primary lens was my 400mm 2.8 then I would have the 70-200, whereas with my 600mm 4.0 it was the 100-400mm - for anything wide I just used my iPhone. With that said I can't tress enough to bring your 70-200mm with your 400mm and 1.4x. If you do go with the 300mm then bring a 2x along with your 1.4x and the 70-200mm.
