The .30-06 is just about perfect, especially with 200gr
Barnes TSX or Swift A-Frame. Will handily take everything
from duiker to eland. Have used it there in 2007 and 2008,
with over 90 days in the field.

While I like the .338 Win very much, it's really only helpful on
a big eland bull, which the 200gr/.30-06 will dispatch just fine.

For a two-rifle battery, I'd take a .30-06 and a .416.
