I have just returned from Botswana and my first Elephant hunt. I was hunting with Safaris Botswana Bound and PH Clive Lennox in area NG47. My hunt was scheduled for 10 days but I took a 50# / 50# bull on the first afternoon. The good news was that my hunt was successful, the camp and PH were top notch and my travels were safe and uneventful. I was only signed up for elephant and did not transfer to another area for any additional game.
The bad news was that the hunt was so quick. I guess I will just have to go back and hunt elephant again sometime in the future. It saddens me to think about Botswana closing hunting and not being able to fully explore this area again. Hopefully the closure is short term and we can again all dream of hunting Botswana in the future.

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.
