Your ideal 3 gun & 3 cartridge trio to hunt all things Africa.

I'm unfamiliar with the last two, are they both rimmed cartridges for doubles/single shots?
Yes these would be my first choice....
If they have to be bolt actions(I use a bolt 500 Jeff as my preferance for DG as opposed to a double) it will be....

500 JEFF BRNO ZKK602
375 H&H BRNO ZKK602
7X57mm BRNO MOD 21 or 7x64mm Brenneke BRNO ZKK600
 
Well 2 of my three have already been to Africa......

.470ne double(Sabatti) with RMR 1 MOA sight - Plenty of power for DG and with the RMR sight it is effective far beyond typical DR range; I'm confident out to 150yds with this rifle... took this tuskless at 11 paces.

BRNO ZKK-602 .375H&H - Just so much versatility in this cartridge being able to load from 235gr-350gr bullets; with the ability to hunt anything from DG to PG.

Ruger M77MKII Stainless .300win - This rifle was built as my travel rifle, I wanted something dependable and able to hunt anywhere on earth but still not break the bank incase it gets lost/stolen in travel.
Cut and recrown barrel, spiral flute barrel, black cerakote all metal, Timney trigger, Hogue Stock and Leupold 4-14x

Ruger #1 .300 H&H

Rigby Big Game .416 Rigby

Rigby Rising Bite .450 NE

If shotgun is included in this premise, instead of the .450 Nitro…

Rising Bite 28 gauge
 
450Rigby

375 H&H

300 H&H

450Rigby for DG, especially elephant, buff and Hippo. Unrivaled penetration. Solids can be used for the Tiny 10.

375 H&H can obviously be used for both, PG and DG, but adds a bit if range to your arsenal. Whereas I consider the 450 a stopper and am not using it for anything over 50m. Preferably 25.

300 H&H Great all round PG and Leopard cartridge.
 
500/416 in the K gun (20G barrels as well)
375 in the R8
30-06 in the R8 or BBF 97
