The best zoom would probably be the Sigma 200-500 f2.8, but that would cost £30,000 - and you'd then have to add a camera body - another £5,000. I assume you aren't looking at this sort of price! Have you got a budget? Do you want a point and shoot camera or a Digital SLR with interchangeable lenses? If you could provide some details then you'll get some good answers from people on here.
You should be able to pick up a decent Canon 350d + Sigma 50-500mm or 170-500mm on EbayDear rezMole,
Thanks for your mail. Pah, unbelievable - 35,000!!??!! I don't like to buy the company - only a camera.
I like a Digital SLR with 300 to 500 mm and I like to spent around 1,000 to 1,200 Euro not more.
Thanks and kind regards
for your budget
Cheers

Without habitat, there is no wildlife. It's that s
Do you have access to a repair agent for all brands, depending on whats available in Mombasa may effect the choice.
As always to these questions try and handle as many as possible as this may again shortlist what you need i.e. being quite a large chap when I bought my 1st DSLR the canon 350D was too small to hold comfortably so I chose the much larger Nikon D70s. It may be better to look at the lens budget as this may be the deciding factor. As Brian states there are a few lenses that you could look at from Tamron / Sigma / Nikon & Canon. If you are on a budget you can pick up the Tokina 80-400 2nd hand for under €200. If you explain what you'll mainly be using the kit for it may help others offer suggestions.

Another lens woth looking for is the Tamron 200-500. A quick search on ebay showed that you can get a new lens and a 2nd hand Canon EOS 400D for app. 1.700 C$ which is somewhat below 1200 euro.
