I hunted with Philip in May 2019 and had a great time. It was my first trip to Africa, it was all I could have hoped for. Go, you will not be disappointed. Here is a link to my hunt report...

Nice report. Looks like you had a great hunt. I hunted with Philip’s outfit last May and had a trip of a lifetime. Your report brought back flood of memories, I wish I was back there right now. My prayers and sympathy are with Philip and Jan for the loss of their father.

It’s no wonder the Whelen isn’t popular in Africa, it would be a handloading proposition only and the 9.3x62 is a classic there and getS the job done. I just don’t get the lack of interest in the good old USA. I’m fairly dense and I just assumed 125 as I have shot 150’s, just not on game. I’ve...

Paul, Thanks for the reply. We actually talked, for quite a while, about Khomas Highlands and your input was most helpful. I could not have made a better choice on where to hunt. I’d go back in a heartbeat. I agree on the Whelen, it is a mystery as to why it isn’t more popular. It is a...

Congratulations on a great hunt and wonderful bull. I met Roche at the Denver show this January and was very impressed. If I finally make the decision to got back and hunt Cape Buffalo he will be on my short list of outfitters.

As far as my next trip, I hope to hunt Cape buffalo and maybe Nyala or a Waterbuck. But before that happens there will be several honey do trips with my wife. The longest shot was maybe the hartebeest, 170-180 meters. The shortest was the warthog at about 80 meters.
