Recommendations for a Rifle to Take to Africa?

There are a few brand new Model 70 chambered in 375 H&H listed on Gunbroker.
 
@JG26Irish_2 there was a lot of good advice in your post.
Except the comment about bringing too much ammo. You must have meant “camo” because I’m not sure there is such thing as “too much ammo.”
 
I just went on my first Safari this August and took a Savage 110 Bear Hunter in 375 Ruger. I got a good scope Leupold VX5 CDS 1-5. I shot a Buffalo at 25 yards and a Kudu at 350. Overall, I took 6 animals, and the 375 Ruger was perfect for a one-gun Safari. The whole rifle setup including hard case, sling etc. came in about $3000. I'm taking it to Alaska in fall of 25 for moose and grizzly. I'd have no qualms about hunting elk with it. 375 Ruger has low recoil, standard action and good longer-range capabilities. It's not the classic Africa rifle but it left me more money to hunt more animals.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
