First Timer African Safari Common Mistakes To Avoid

slam8031 said:
1). get airfare and travel with guns squared away
2). get a new 4457 form (with this year's info)
3). don't overpack--they wash your clothes
4). take enough camera cards and camera equipment
5). Take what the bush gives you!
6). practice shooting and then do some more....
7). Study the anatomy of the animals you are pursuing.
8). Trust your PH in what to shoot...
9). Relax and be patient--you are on Africa time!
10). plan your return trip on the way home...
11). determine to do the taxidermy in the states--you have no recourse if they do something poorly in Africa...
12). skulls/euro mounts are cool also...

Unfortunately or fortunately on how you look at it, I start planning the next trip when I am there.
Also, good advice on #11.
 
If you are hunting anywhere other than SA, ask plenty of questions about quotas. Just because an animal is on the price list does not mean there will be quota available for you. The only way to guarantee availability is to pay a deposit for the specific animal. I have learned this lesson the hard way.

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.

Hello, I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any other left hand rifles you may let go of? Also can you send a few additional pics of Borden rifle?

Thank you.
