My wife and I will be there on Saturday, there are a few outfitters id like to sit down and talk with

Thank you all! It was such an awesome experience we are starting the planning process to potentially head back over in 28 for some more plains game and once I retire in 31 we are going to head after cape buffalo in Mozambique

The gemsbok was by far my most favorite animal of the safari even though picking my favorite animal is like picking a favorite child lol. The gemsbok was my main animal of the safari and I had been dreaming of hunting one since I was a little boy dreaming of africa. I still remember every time...

Thank you all! We are already planning on going back but this time my wife has been building her own list

I've started doing this years ago for my meat hunts. I have way less meat damage on my whitetail does using my 375 h&h compared to my 270, 7mm and 6.5 prc. I've been using the cutting edge safari raptor 275gr with a medium charge of imr 4350

Day 5 We had completed our list and still had an extra day of hunting so I had made a grave mistake and talked my wife into going after an impala. So the day started with a trip to the range to ensure my rifle was still on for my wife and 1 quick shot proved that it was and we loaded up the...

Day 4 continue Warthog time!!! After the gemsbok was dropped off at the skinning she'd it was off to chase Warthog (our last animals on the list). We drove out to the rocky open flats where we had seen multiple females and younger boars in hope that an old board or 2 would show himself. No...

Day 4!!!! Today the focus was on my gemsbok and warthog for my uncle and I since they where the only animals remaining. The day started with a beautiful sunrise and the fog was sitting in the low ground but there was a different feeling in the air, something good was going to happen today I...

Day 3 The order for the day was getting my uncle his impala and wildebeest or if we had another opportunity at a gemsbok. They day started with the typical breakfast and coffee. Immediately as the sun broke over the horizon we started getting into impala, having opportunity after opportunity but...

Better pictures of my uncles kudu

So now that i am back in the states and done with all the traveling I can do a proper day by day update. So day 1 was a whirlwind as I said earlier I was hunting with my uncle in a 2x1 package, the day started with going after kudu for my uncle and ending with my blesbok. Day 2 started with...

Thank you all, there is more to come. I am hunting with my uncle and my wife as an observer and so far this has just been such an awesome experience.

Just got my 1st african animal ever the evening of day 1, a blesbok at about 40 yards with my 30-378 wby shooting 199gr hammer stone hammers, the bull went straight down with the shot. Talk about a whirlwind of emotions as I had dreamed of this day ever since I learned to read.

Currently wearing my Stirling Durant with a WOE Selous strap, waiting to kick off our South African safari later today
