Lion, tigers and leopards, can be hard to stop with a "normal" rifle. If they are coming at you, then you need to KILL them.

Hippos in ANY body of water are very dangerous.

Malaria isn't going to get you in 10 days by your math. I'm still trying to figure out how 459 hours = 10 days, 24 hours per day. Texas educational system failure?

No tigers in Africa. Actually big cat nervous system can be shut down very quickly thru Hydrostatic shock

You're going to get stomped or eaten. .30-30 isn't much good on heavy African game.

Good point. I don't do any hunting so that is a subject I am not familiar with. Actually I am not the type to do any extensive travel in the manner that was proposed so I would decline to take part in this.

Been three times; 1 to east Africa (Tanzania), 2x in Ghana. It’s no big deal; just be sure to get the correct malaria prophylaxis for the country your going to.

It was far safer in 1921 then today.

Against the humans, you're exactly right. Against the animals too. In another life ... (Is probably get eaten)

Would you pass on tiger hunting in India same time frame too?

 

[TheMailMan]

Either a Winchester 70 or a custom Mauser in .375 H&H for light stuff and a double rifle in .470 NE for the heavy stuff.

For tiger hunting in the era I'd go to Dalat, Vietnam, in the Central Highlands.
Teddy Roosevelt had a tiger hunting camp there.
And, the Eurasian females (French/Asian) are spectacular.

Yep not my type of place.
