There's no game outside of Africa where a 50 BMG would be at all reasonable.
Within Africa, many nations ban (1) muzzle brakes of all kinds and types (I believe to protect the hearing of guides) and (2) military calibers. A 50 BMG without a brake would need to weigh around 40-50lbs to be shootable. And no getting around the military caliber ban in those nations that have it.
If you can afford to travel to Africa for safari, you can get one of the "ordinary" African calibers.
I do think the OP's question is reasonable, it just is answered "no" for various reasons.
