Safari preparations

I have plans on going on a safari in Africa this autumn or spring. Reading everything I can get my hands on like best period, weather, klimate, gear etc. There are plenty of companys to choose from and I haven't decided yet. If you have any suggestions please tell me in the comments below.

I know that practise makes perfect so I've started to try and catch some Swedish animals with my camera, earlier I almost only shot landscape. The advantage with this is that I've been out much and knows the nature around where I live. Starting last Friday I now bring my 70-200 mm f 2,8 and my 28-300 mm lens with my while I'm out scouting for nice landscape. 

The pic below is my first wildlife pic ever. It was taken last Friday, I had sent out invitations to mr Moose and mrs Venison, hoping they weren't busy. But it was a no show, only this little fellow showed up. Now don't get me wrong we had a great time the two of us :-). The pic is heavely cropped sense my Buddy was a bit shy. This is why I on Saturday bought the Nikon teleconverter TC-20E III AF-S cranking up my 70-200 to 140-400 mm hoping this will cure some of the shyness my friends have.
