I've used that combination on mule deer effectively but not in Africa,

However, I've used the 180 grain Nosler Protected Tip Partition in a 300 WSM at about 2975 fps MV to take about 25 PGs ranging from steenbok and impala to eland, zebra and kudu without any problems. I can't recall needing a 2nd shot on anything,

I definitely think your 300 RUM and 200 grain PT will work just fine. Enjoy your trip.
