If you're considering going on a safari then I have to say that you would find it hard to find a better lens without the need of a BBC support crew. The compact size means that you don't find yourself hitting other people in confined safari vehicles and the image stabilisation, speed of auto-focus and the quality glass expected in an L series lens mean that you should get some great images even if the animals stay slightly further away than you would hope. If you want to extend the zoom to 800mm then you can use the 2x II extender, though only with Manual Focus. I used this combination to get a great shot of a leopard that with my 70-200mm f2.8L looked like a speck.

Date Added: 10th September 2008
Question: Is it the case that if you use the 1.4 or 2.0 x extenders with this lens on a Canon 40D that you can no longer get the AF to work and you have to resort to manual focus?
Bristol Cameras Answer: Hi, only EOS 1 series slr cameras will retain autofocus operation on the 100-400 lens with either the 1.4 or 2.0 Extender attached. Any other EOS camera, such as the 40D will only have manual focus with the Extender attached.
