The two best options are still basically the same, either the Hyperdrive or Nexto. The Nexto 2901 and the older 2730 copy very rapidly (>83MB/sec.) from good CF cards to a good HDD or an SSD, but are otherwise relatively barebones units. The Hyperdrive UDMA (and v.2) have more features, including a large, low-res display. However, copy speeds are quite slow and battery life is also lower.
Having used both in the field under more difficult conditions than a typical safari, I will be taking two Nextos the next time I go to Africa. It's much easier and faster to review the images in camera (and on a far, far better Canon or Nikon display) than on the Hyperdrive. The 2.5x faster speed makes a big difference when downloading large number of files. The Nexto is also noticeably smaller and lighter in weight.
