    I for sure bring the second body, ust in case, so that leaves the 70-200, or the 300.

    Me, I'd leave the 24 t&s and 50 f1.4 at home.
    The 24-105 will pick up both of these focal lenghts.
    I know you just got the t&s lens and want to use it. Not knowing the area, I don't know if that lens will be at usefull in the places that you are going.
    If that lens is a must, I guess I'd leave the 300 at home.

    I'll bet that this didn't help.:D

    Are leaving things behind do to space constraints???

    As long as your taking a tri pod then leave the 50 and 70-200 at home....that 300 will be great for the wildlife and at times seem short also.....
