Tracker49Plains Game Quandry...
No one else has said anything about this, but...
Get a nice Warthog!
My Wife thinks they are ugly, but I like them and it gives us a lot to discuss, I actually named mine after our PH! Some things are a lot safer than other topics!

I support Late-Boomer's suggestion of a black wildebeest. It is endemic to south Africa where you are hunting. Your next trip(s) may be to other countries where the other species listed also occur.
Basically: You will be in South Africa - place some priority to hunt what you can only hunt in that country: Black wildebeest + bontebok + Cape grysbuck will cost you less than an eland and afford much more hunting! These you can only properly hunt in South Africa - grab the opportunity!
But I also agree that while hunting one should take any superior trophy that you may have the good luck to chance upon.
Whatever enjoy your hunt and stay. Waidmannsheil!

One cannot cure:Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!
My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat.
Today I still hunt!
