Now I am going on Safari in two weeks time and would quite like to treat myself to something a bit better for distance... I say 'treat', more of a budget upgrade, as it will get little use in the immediate future holiday aside.Bearing in mind I will not have a tri-pod and most likely will be hanging out the back of a jeep, is it worth me going as far as a 300mm?Saying that, there is vast Savannah where I am sleeping so maybe a 300 is what I should aim for, but on a budget i'm guessing i'll be hard pushed to find one with VR/AF (I am also aware I need to be careful not to get caught out with fixed lense length too!)Like I say, I just want to give myself an extra edge just in case there is something mighty special to capture.(bear in mind though that i'm a Novice with £100 budget).Can any of you good folk point me in the right direction?Many thanks <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Rory</blockquote>
