Planning this itinerary

What's the ideal lens range for this trip?

A 200-500mm or 150-600mm zoom covers the vast majority of big-cat work at typical safari vehicle distances.

Are there additional photography-specific fees?

The photographic vehicle and specialist guide are built into the quoted price — no separate photography permit is required in the conservancies used.
