After having just hunted that area--a few things I come away with--one, you will love the area..it is very wild and untamed..perfect..

Another is if I went back, quite frankly, I would not take a second gun smaller that a .375 H&H..the reason I say this is the 375 will give you plenty of range you will need in that area..and you never know what you will bump into..we constantly bumped into elephant..let alone, lions on a regular basis..

On the one morning walking into the hyena blind..the 300 I was carrying with 200 gr bullets seem quite small compared to the cow elephant that had just charged us in the dark at about 10 yards..

IMHO, most PH's want you to bring a lighter gun because they feel you will shoot it better..and in 90% of the cases that is probably true..plus you should always follow the recommendations of your PH..But, when I go..my light gun will probably be with a .375 ...

While I was there, 2 tuskless were shot by PH's in self defense...in Chewore North and South..

If you do take the '06 or 338--load the heavier bullets..period...
