Namibia for first African Safari

[CJW]

Gentlemen, I finally pulled the trigger and decided to not wait any longer. Sep 6-14 of 2021 I will be hunting with the Metzger family of Makadi Safaris in Namibia on their family run operation. All nine days will be for management plains game animals which is great for me since it gives more money for the hunt and travel and I don't have room for anymore animal body parts anyways. This should also allow for plenty of extra time for my photography hobby since I won't be stressing the day away about getting that 65" kudu. We're going after at least 12 animals so I'll get my fill of stalking practice I'm sure.

I'm still young but have thought about Africa for probably 20 years and I can't express how excited I am to finally be going. I learned during childhood that life can sometimes be short and have an abrupt end and the chance for new experiences shouldn't be squandered. I've done a pretty good job so far of using that knowledge and this is one more step.

I bought a JC Higgins 30-06 a few years ago just for this purpose and can't wait to see how some big ole 200 gr. Partitions perform. I've already been in contact with Debbie of Gracy Travel and we're working on plans.

I can't wait to do a hunting report at the end of September.

Cheers

Cameron

Thanks guys. Reading everyone else's reports over the years has been a huge inspiration.

Something about it doesn't seem real yet. Perhaps when the plane tickets are confirmed, ha, ha.

Cheers

I hunted with his dad Dieter 33 years ago on my first Safari. It started a life long passion for Africa hunting. Have a great time!!!

If you are not happy with the partion you could always try the time proven Woodleigh 220 RNSN or their 180 grain PPSP.

@CJW
You will fall in love with Namibia. The game, the people and the culture. If Okahenja markets are open it's worth a visit. Joe's beer garden in Windhoek is well with an end of hunt meal, you won't be disappointed. If you want skins to bring home as souvenirs Nankara tanery is the place with Springbok skins tended for as little as 20 dollars and zebra skins so soft you could make jackets out of for 100 bucks. Just a thought.
You will be planning your next hun t before you finish your first one.
Looking forward to your hunt report.

I wanted to try some 200 gr. a-frames but times are tough trying to find those. Oh well, I should have a good opinion formed on the partitions when it's all over with.
