So after 2 years of planning, carefully searching, reading, studying, lurking on this site and then joining. Practicing ridiculous amount of shots, different angles and positions, and too many bruise shoulders to mention and custom made snap caps to focus on speed. After Obsessing, reading, watching videos and hearing everyone else's African adventure. The time has finally come. Tomorrow I am wheels up flying direct from Dulles to South Africa. I can't wait!!! Due to some changes in plans I won't be shooting much if any trophy plains game (but told there is plenty to cull), but will have the privilege to hunt 2 of the Big 5.

Thank you to everyone on AH. Your stories have kept me pumped up, your advice as been priceless and I look forward to telling everyone my story. I will post pics and the story as I have time and everyone will get a full report when I get back. I haven't even left and I am already anticipating my next trip.

As my screen name says, starting tomorrow I will be living the dream!!!!!
 
How exciting!! I hope that your journey to Africa exceed all of your expectations… and I certainly wish you an amazing trip! Looking forward to hearing all about it. :P Cowboy:
 
Congrats on heading off on your first safari. Which of the two big five will you be hunting?
 
Good luck to you sir! Have fun make memories !
 
Congratulations on making it happen! I will be flying 15 days behind you, also after over two years of planning and I'm looking forward to my first safari. Enjoy the entire experience, stay safe and be well.
 
Good luck and play safe !

Lol, this week one year ago I began my first African hunt. I didn't hardly sleep the last night at home, on the plane, or the first two nights over there. Never got by that long on so little sleep, and never felt wider awake. Good luck!
 
Congratulations on making it happen!

Hope you have an awesome experience, looking forward to the report...

Happy hunting
 
Congrats, good luck, shoot straight, and cherish the memories!
 
Safe travels, happy hunting and straight shooting. It's the first of many you will never forget. :A Clapping:

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
