Willy V: why would you need a 5d3, a 5dsr, and 2 1dx bodies for one trip? only once have I had a camera fail
At a minimum, you need one wider angle and one long zoom, each mounted on its own body, to avoid dust while changing lenses. Dust is such a terible problem - I had a older Canon shutter button jam up and made the body not useable. I mount a 100-400 and a 500 prime, so I could use a third body for normal to wide angle.
As far as backup lenses, I had a 100-400 jam and lock up at day 11 of a 19 day African safari; became totally un-usable. And that lock up wasn't due to dust, it was the bearings inside the lens. Fortunately, I carried a 300 prime as a back up and was SO glad I did so. On a more budget trip, maybe one body and several lenses will do, but not on a long expensive African safari.
EB-1: I don't have a 5DsR to try, but I'd rather have faster frame rate (1Dx) than more resolution.
