Any interest in a .600 only hunt?

Gents:
Since I acquired my first .600 I have dreamed of a hunt in Zim for buffalo and maybe hippo and elephant with a small group of like-minded gents in camp only armed with .600 NE double or single rifles, new or vintage. Any interest in this for 2014? If so I will start gathering info and prices. Bwananelson? CCMDoc? Others?
Cheers all.
Cal

Yea, but I thought is was a 500NE and up deal. I couldn't stand the thought of having to defend my puny little 500NE so I got the 577NE. Damn! Now I'm going to have to defend the puny little 577NE! It ain't fair boys!

My interest is in watching the video and living vicarious.

Maybe my interest is in being a gun bearer for those heavy guns if someone takes care of airfare.

Is this related to the 700 Club?

Would love to see video of the 600 used with different bullets.

Or maybe matching post mortem shots.

Gee, guys, a simple "yes" or "no" would have been fine. However I understand the group I am dealing with.
Biebs: if it was penis envy it would be a 4-bore only hunt.
Grenadier: only if each bullet weighs 450 grains.
And to any others who make comments about manhood, well, errrr,...... that's why I have a .600 and a 4-bore.
Cheers all,

I would indeed love to go on this hunt. It may take more than a couple years for me to go. I may be able to handle the 600 overkill and hunting loads by that time.
