Yes, it was also the most expensive safari mounted in it's day.

The question is which Africa are you being sentimental about?
W.D.M. Bell and Ernest Hemingway both had a foundness for the 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer. Bell latter "moved up" to the 7x57 Mauser.
Or you could go with a four bore black powder gun!
