P,
If you're going on safari, I would recommend something with at least 300mm of zoom. I know the lenses by Canon can get very expensive at that length, so you might try a lens by Tamron or Sigma. Both are making excellent lenses these days (I personally own 2 Tamron lenses for use on my EOS camera and love them).
For your trip, you could go one of two ways: (1) A telephoto lens that gives more versatility or (2) a fixed length lens that will offer slightly higher quality photos. Personally, I would go with a fixed length since I already have a good telephoto. Something like this 300mm Sigma f/2.8 lens. If you do want the versatility, then you might try a 120-300mm Sigma f/2.8 lens. Both have a maximum aperture of f/2.8 that does not vary with zoom length (hence the higher price). If you feel you won't need the faster glass, you can save money by going to a narrower aperture. I hope this helps.
