Cape buffalo vs the rest?

Folks I’m planning trip 2,(yes I said once and once only to the other half..). Now this may be 4-5 years away with how things go but what I’m trying to work out is:

Is a Cape buffalo hunt worth the same / more than a weeks PG hunt? In experience or adventure.

What I feel I’ve missed a bit is remoteness with my last trip. There’s videos of Zimbabwe in particular tracking buffalo, stumbling into elephants. Seeing hippos. Looks like a real adventure.

But at the same time, I could do Namibia...

7x66 Scharfgeschoss Express vom Hofe...Happy Days

I think I've joined an interesting and unique group - reloading the 7x66SE vH cartridge, and I couldn't be happier!
My Mauser 66 barrel is on its way, I just received 50 brand new brass from Süddeutsche Hülsenmanufaktur and a set of custom Redding dies are on order.

So now I am looking for loads and what you use them for. I'm looking at you @Luederitz, @Phil Giordano, @ABIGFOOTZ and others.

375 H&H versus 9.3 x 74R

I am going on (predominantely) a Plains Game safari (Sable, Bushbuck) + Hyena and other small cats. I have a single shot Dakota Model 10 in 9.3x74R and a Kimber Bolt Action in 375 H&H. The Kimber is heavier than the Dakota. Which one would you take? I do not want to take both, because I am also thinking of bringing my Winchester Model 70 in 300 WM for the "long" shots. Any recommendations?

Brno rifles big bore

I have a 602 Brno in a .375 caliber. Very impressed with the quality. I believe Brno also made the 602 in 416 Rigby and 458. Does anyone know if they made it in a 404. I would be keen to try and find one in the 416 or 404 if available. Anyone out there with one and consider selling??
