Thank you. My list as a first timer is Kudu, Gemsbok, Zebra, Impala and possibly an Ostrich if I can find a reputable cobbler before hand.
As far as .cals, I went from 300 win mag to a 6.5 creedmore to possibly a 7mm and back to the win mag. I have several rifles to choose from and shoot them all well. I am somewhat hellbent on the 6.5 and suspect if I catch to much hell here I will take the .300 wm
 
Welcome welcome welcome
 
Welcome! I spent a lot of time, as a kid, in northern Idaho. Beautiful country! Good luck with your African safari planing.
 
Idaholandho, I reload my 6.5 x 55 Swede to within 50 FPS of your 6.5 Creedmore. If I were you, I'd take both the 300 WM and the Creedmore. Some of the animals you've listed deserve a little more horsepower. That being said there are plenty of smaller animals more deserving of the Creedmore. On my first safari I took a 35 Whelen and my 6.5 Swede. Both served me very well.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
