Crown Precision Arms has teamed up with Kaiwhai Safaris for this season of Escape to Africa on The Sportsman Channel!

The Kaiwhai hunting pros answer your questions about choosing a caliber for hunting African game. First, you'll need to identify whether you'll be hunting Plains Game or Dangerous Game (or both!) While shot placement is more important than the cartridge, there are definitely some considerations to make when selecting which rifle to take into the field. From something small like .308, .30-06, or 6.5 PRC for plains game, up to something larger like a 450 Rigby or 500 Nitro for dangerous game, you have options. Not sure? The .375 H&H is a very versatile round for African game.

Today's hunt starts with Patrick telling us how he stalked a 68 lb springbok and was able to take him at 253 yards with his .280 Ackley Improved. Throwing a 175 gr slug at 2800 FPS, the .280AI is a great choice for taking plains game like this springbok ram.

Taking a break from the hunt, we get to see giraffes and rhinos in their natural habitat. Sometimes a safari isn't about taking the shot, it's about admiring the majesty of nature. Erik discusses the conservation efforts and recent success in protecting the endangered white rhino before we're back on the hunt looking for a Golden Wildebeest. Armed with a .300 PRC rifle lobbing a 212gr Hornady ELD-x at 2822 fps, Claudia had to talk the wildebeest for quite a while before drawing a bead on a 550 lb bull.
