OK so I've been counting down since I came back from last safari two years ago. Have everything packed except back pack and rifle. Shot a number of live rounds from the .375 and thousands of rounds with the snap cap off sticks.

This will be my second trip with Africa Maximum Safaris, last time in Zim for Cape Buffalo, Waterbuck, Kudu, Impala, Blue Wildebeest and Zebra. This trip will be in South Africa for non trophy Elephant, Lioness and plains game. My wife is excited to go back as well (not as excited as me)

I will be hunting again with PH Walla Albertse. Had a great time with Walla last time and took some nice animals including the buffalo in my avatar. Difference in this and last trip is KNOW how much fun I'm going to have!

They say you should not wish your life away, however I do wish I was leaving tomorrow!
 
Enjoy!!!

I know how long these last two weeks will be, but it is also part f the fun!
 
I know what you mean, Ridge Top. I leave in 11 days for my second safari to RSA, with Drom at Somerby Safaris. Main quarry will be buff, then maybe waterbuck, zebra, bushpig, etc. if time permits. I have fired several boxes through my 375 and practiced hours with snap caps. Don't want to just piss off the buff! Good luck on your safari.
 
Happy Hunting and Straight Shooting!:P Robin Hood: R.
 
Happy and safe hunting to all..

Good luck to you as well! I have good friends going at the end of September with Somerby to hunt buff, non trophy elephant and plains game.
 
I feel for you RidgeTop. This will be a long two weeks. I hope you have a great hunt and I'm looking forward to reading your report. I am counting down as well......50 days now!
 
60 days and agonizing! lol
 
two more sleeps and we leave home
 
The wait must be agonizing! Good luck to all of you who leave for Africa in the next few weeks!
 
24 days.......

Thanks, Ridge Top. I am very much looking forward to the safari.
