Is the sigma 150 600mm f 5 6 3 dg os hsm sports good for travel?

Not really, if travel means carrying your kit all day. The Sports version is the heavier, weather-sealed sibling of the Contemporary 150-600mm, so it's built for serious sport and birds rather than light packing. It is stabilised and has autofocus, and the weather sealing helps on rough trips.

For travel wildlife, I'd look at a lighter setup. My wildlife and sport picks suggest Micro Four Thirds with a 100-400mm for hiking and travel, since it's light, long and stabilised. If you want this lens's reach anyway, it's worth reading about travel gear first to see how much weight you can live with. And if you do buy it, buying used can save a lot.
