50 days left , more overtime to work to pay for it, but off on the second hunt to South Africa .. every thing looks good . Hunt all planed and ready to go , but still looking for some info on the markets in Joberg . WE have a day and 1/2 to kill and the Ladies want to shop ,any help out there for this ??
 
I have 56 days left to wait myself.
I hope you will have a great time and I am looking forward to the report :)
 
58 days left until Namibia . Hunting the moon phase this year so the normal May departure was pushed into July. In all the years I have gone through Johannesburg I have never stopped at anywhere but Afton guest house. Blend in when you go out . Buy springbok shirts and try not to look like a lost tourist . Shopping in Johannesburg will be more adventurous and probably cost more than the safari . Have a great time .
 
Seems like more than one are counting the days. I have 84 days before my first trip to Africa. (Botswana)
May luck walk with you always milford.
 
I just counted the days and I have 60 long days left till my return to Africa. Hope all of you have safe and successful trips.
 
What is on everyone's list ? I am going for springbok, warthog , nyala and a bushbuck and one left open for what I am given a opportunity at. My 16 year old nephew that I am taking is up for a warthog a zebra a springbok and a blesbuck .
 
I have Kudu, Red Hartebeest, Blesbuck, Bushbuck and Impala on my list and I am also open for Steenbuck, Duiker and Warthog if I get a chance with my bow.
Or maybe something else :)
I am open minded to whatever and what I can afford :)
 
Number one on the list for my son and I are Buffalo then maybe Burchells zebra after that it's pretty much whatever presents itself. I think that once we have our Buffs down the rest of the trip should be a nice relaxed armed vacation. My oldest daughter has decided to go along and is planning on taking a zebra, she says that's all she wants, we'll see how that works out.

My list includes whatever mature animal walks within range of my Mathews bow. (as long as I can I afford it/them.) Record books are not important to me, rather a mature animal that presents a good shot. Let's see...hmm I like Kudu, Gemsbok, Eland, Blue Wildebeest, Black Wildebeest, Impala, Warthog, Zebra, Waterbuck, Hartebeest, Jackal, and Springbok. No expectations just hoping for a good experience and maybe some good shot opportunities.
 
We are leaving June 7 for Buffalo, Nyala, Zebra, Bushbuck amongst others. Can't wait

Dang it Mike, that was going to be my line! You are going to have a blast at Kanana my friend.

Thanks buddy. Counting the days...
 
milford,

I'm not sure where you're staying, but if at the Afton house they can arrange for the ladies to spend time at a curio shop. The shop sends out a driver to pick you up / take you back. The shop is probably a bit more spendy then it needs to be, but it gives you something to do.

Being a Harley rider, I also found a HD dealer in Sandton if I remember correctly. Had to pick up the obligatory t-shirt.
 
Milford who will you be hunting with and what animals are on your main list? Have fun and let us know how it went.
 
Well I have a street glide so I might head over there myself , I am going with Adansonia Safaris , My main animals are a bushbuck , warthog < my wife has broken down and will now let me take one > Nyala and a springbok but I am taking some spare cash in case a opportunity comes my way
 
Leaving June 11 for my 3rd trip in 14 months to Africa...hunting at Hartzview. Lion, Sable, steenbok, baboon, duiker....the excitement is building now!!
 
July 13 for me. heading to KZN with Chamanzi Zulu Safaris. It'll be my second trip. My last one according;) to my wife!
