I'm going to go against the thread here and recommend 8 x 32's instead.
I have a few different types of binos and find 8x32's the most comfortable for prolonged periods of hanging around my neck.
You said you're going to Africa so will be using for wildlife viewing. If you're going to East Africa, once you're in the game parks and your guide opens the roof of your vehicle, chances are you'll be on your feet with binos hanging off your neck.
First trip i did, over a few days, i found 42's too heavy. ON subsequent trips I've always taken 8x32's and now that's all I prefer. The reduction on objective lens is a moot point if you're game viewing in daylight. Makes a slight difference in lower light (dawn/dusk).
My recommendation would be either the Monarch 7's or if you can stretch your budget, Pentax DCF SP 8x32.
I'd also look at the Vortex diamondback range with ED glass. Vortex's warranty is probably the best I've seen in the market.
cheers
