I'm assuming you're just going on a plains game hunt?

Part of me says stay with what works, part of me says its africa, bigger is better.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I would think dangerous animals exist throughout africa....and with that being said I wouldn't want to rely on the PH as my back up. I don't think I'd want less than a .30-06 there.

I'd speak to them and see what their opinion is.

Btw, my cousin when he went, brought a few rifles etc..., all he used was his .375H&H on everything, from plains game to his cape buffalo.
