I'll second a "superzoom" camera, especially if packing light is a concern. I went on an African safari that limited me in what I could bring (backpacking) and there's zero chance I'm bringing my SLR despite me being a photography enthusiast.
Brought a Canon Superzoom. Nice and light - also made me less of a target. There were Nikon Professionals on my tour and they hired a sherpa to lug their $50K gear around...no thanks.
