I am booked to go on my safari in September and at the moment I am planning on taking only my 30-06, but perhaps I should move up to something with a bit more punch like my 375.

The 375 H&H was the only gun I took. IMHO it is a great hunt anything gun with very good over the counter bullet selection. I saw for myself how tough even the smallest of game are in Africa. The 375 dropped all of the animals where they stood. That is more a testimony of the round than my marksmanship. The 30/06 is a tried and true round. When we had a face to face encounter with 2 Bull Buffalo, even though nothing happened, I was thankful I had the 375 in my hand. Nice security Blanket.

88MauSporter sums it up best

"A hunter should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everthing goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."

If I were hunting the big stuff (Ele,Buffalo,Rhino,Hippo), I may consider the 416 Rem or Rigby, but for the cats and all other game, the 375 H&H really impressed me.
