Most dangerous-game PHs will have a couple of suitably large-caliber rifles in camp, (in fact, most carry a spare "client" rifle, in their hunting cars just in case) and a .375 H&H is the most commonly available caliber.
Really, they carry a "spare" rifle just in case the client needs the "spare" rifle. Pretty opportunistic comment and expectation, and NOT true for any of my safaris. The "spare" rifle needs to be arranged IN ADVANCE of the client's arrival. With PHs being often contract PHs they have only what has been arranged. Never needed an outfitter rifle, but did use Karl Stumpfe's 8x68S custom M98 as I wanted to try out the cartridge and also it was a bolt action, both of my rifle's being double rifles. Was pre-arranged.
