The PH I talked to that didn’t like partitions said they ruined too much meat…but I bet they only knew that from all the recovered game!

Well, yeah--but one of the things about more than one Africa country is most of the meat's sold commercially. This is true both in both South Africa and Namibia.
Would it be possible to take the choice portions of meat for personal consumption instead of leaving it?

Generally the safari operators use some of the choicer cuts to feed their clients, and some of the rest goes to the camp staff. Whether the rest actually gets sold depends on how far the hunt takes place from a butcher shop and/or restaurants.
If it's a long way, much of the meat gets dried into biltong in camp, and then either sold or used by the PH, camp workers, etc.

Once rode back from a tent-safari camp in Botswana's Okavango Delta on the high-seat of a Land Cruiser next to a bag of biltong as large as a 55-gallon drum.

It's not legal to bring meat from Africa into the U.S. unless its dried then sealed in plastic, or canned.
