I'd contact folks at Safari Club International or perhaps the Texas Safari Club - get the names of some outfitters / guides / professional hunters in the area(s) of Africa you're planning to go, then contact them to see what in-field solutions they use to purify water for their hunting clients. Some of these safari's are on foot with little or no outside support - and I can't see some "master of the universe" heading out to kill the "big five" of dangerous game putting up with getting a case of travelers trots -

The CDC may have some interesting information also.

From what I've read (never having gone, yet) there are some interesting water based creatures, both micro and macroscopic that can play havoc on the human body if ingested or (in some cases) absorbed through your skin - most are regional - so info from the locals would seem to be appropriate.
