30-06 180g fine for me shot Black and Blue Wildebeest, Mountain and Burchalls zebra, Waterbuck, Red Hartebeest, distances 50-200m ....shot placement more important.
Easily done yourself but if you are paying for an expediting service through Jo'burg such as Afton Guest House they will send you a completed example as a guide. It is quite a simple procedure. If transfer times are tight for connecting flights then I would pay to use the meet and greet service...
I used my 30-06 in Namibia with 180g trophy bonded rounds. Took wildebeest (black and blue), waterbuck, mountain and Burchalls zebra, warthog, blesbock, and red hartebeest at ranges between 60-270m. Very adequate round.

Travelling to Namibia from the UK I always use SA Airways . Flight from London Heathrow to Jo'burg and connect through to Windhoek with SA. Rifles go straight through and collect in Windhoek. Very quick and easy
Zebra make great rugs and I also have impala and waterbuck. I've seen cushions made with waterbuck where the "white ring" completes a near circle on one side of the cushion.
I hunted with Mankazana safari's last October and had a fantastic time - truly wild, walk and stalk. Plenty of kudu, impala, bushbuck, warthog, blesbok, zebra.
