I’m from Alabama and planning a trip to hunt plains game June of 2026.I’ve been previously but taking my wife and 26 y.o. son this trip.I’m taking a .300 Win Mag. and a .375 H&H.I would like to get a rifle for my wife that doesn’t have as much recoil.Any suggestions that would still do the job on a giraffe and zebra as those are her target animals-thanks.

Good day! Welcome to AH! I would also suggest a 308 for your wife.
Enjoy the planning stage!

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.
Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.
This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
