This is actually for a NM Oryx tag, but my rifle loves the Hornady ELD-X 178gr (.308 rifle). Wanted to know if this would be sufficient for Oryx, or just say screw it and use the 300WM instead. Accuracy and confidence in both set ups are equal.

Hunting with Crusaders and they are recommending flying in/out of Cape Town as my wife and I want to see cape town during the trip. Any recommendations for an Africa Sky type place to stay overnight? First trip to Africa, was recommended by multiple people to stay at Africa Sky with plan to fly...

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys.

So May 2026 I will be hunting with Crusaders Safaris. When is the appropriate time to start looking/purchase your plane tickets?

Booked with Crusaders for May of 2026, plains game hunt in SA. Wife is coming with me and will likely want to hit cape town for a night or two while we're there. Any "must see" or must do things in Cape Town? Restaurants, tours, sights, bars. Literally anything. Just bored and thinking about the...

So this week will be my first trip to the DSC Convention and the plan is to meet a few of the outfitters in order to book my first Africa Hunt for 2026. Let me start by saying I really appreciate everyone on this site. I dont have anything to contribute but have learned a TON. My question is...

So I’m home watching my little guy for what feels like day 12,345 of this pandemic, and I was just wondering any opinions on the best American Made safari rifle. For the sake of argument, 375 H&H. This is made to be a fun argument, not a personal attack on anyone’s trigger religion. Ready, Go!

That was one hell of a report. Glad to hear its possible to have such an amazing adventure with your wife. This sounds exactly what i'm looking for as she is not interested in going with me on my backpacking trips in the western US or BC. I will definitely be adding Wintershoek Safaris to my...

Man I wish I could go to SA this year. Killer deal.

Wow, just wow. I need one of those! All of a sudden I need another home.

Thats awesome! I have a tiny room in our new home, but the basement has not been finished nor claimed yet...

Wow, great post and congrats on your trip. You honestly just put these guys on the list of Camps I need to check out for my first safari.

Thanks for the reply. I already read "tracks across africa" and "where lions roar" but that was purely accident. I'll definitely got on the others.

Thanks, I appreciate that, especially from a fellow Michigander.

So I want to plan my first African Safari and have no idea where to start??? I believe I want to hunt South Africa, but how does one really decide which country, PG, outfitter ect? Side Note: I'm planning an anniversary hunt in 5 years for my wife and I, just getting a head start and enjoying...
