Hello
For a Safari I would get the 70-300 L as well. Good contrast / color / AF and sealing (safari can be dusty).
Avoid the 55-250 IS. The contrast is rather low and the colors are not very good. You will loose your safari money.
If money is an issue I would rather get the tamron 70-300 VC. 4 times cheaper and not a bad lens. Both color and constrast seem to be good.
However, dust could be an issue during the safari.
Regards,
Emmanuel.
