I took an Alaskan 375 ruger to Zim last year. Took buff, hippo, sable, zebra, impala, hyena, warhog and klipspringer w/it. It is 2" shorter than the African. Handles very nice is the jesse (mean, thick brush). Just allow yourself an extra day when traveling for the possibility of lost luggage and you will have no regrets on the Alaskan. Left ammo w/PH, said he would get one and use when he was not guiding for DG.
Good Luck,
