SOUTH AFRICA: My First African Safari

[PhisherSmith]

I've wanted to hunt cape buffalo in Africa since I was 12 years old, and my opportunity came this past July! A huge thanks to @BAYLY SIPPEL SAFARIS for my old dugga boy, as well as my waterbuck, impala, and baboon!

Congrats!
This is a fine selection of trophy.
And of course, great old buffalo!

I will tell you an anecdote. Pls dont laugh!
I always wanted to take baboon. I failed each time.
And I finally got mine on my 5th safari.

Where did you hunt ?

Red sand, and buffalo landscape and back grounds remind me of Kalahari.
We shall see if I was right.

I shot my buffalo with a .375 H&H and the other three with a .308 Winchester.

That 375 looks like a fine old vintage rifle? Your or PHs? That looks like a classic.
