Starting this thread from the Atlanta airport Delta Lounge.

My brother and I are embarking on a 10-day hunt with Limcroma Safaris. We had initially planned to do this hunt in 2026, but Melanoma that I’ve had under control for the last few years reared its head and we decided to pull the trip up a year (take this as a PSA from a 39-year old with Stage IV Melanoma. Take precaution when out in the sun).

I’ve been to Africa once before in 2017, and this will be my brothers first trip. We have an extensive list that includes Cape Buffalo and a host of plains game.

I’ll be using a pair of Winchester Model 70s in 404 Jeffery (400gr A-Frames) and 7x57 Mauser (143gr Hammer Hunter) while my brother will be using a Ruger Guide Gun in 375 Ruger (300gr A-Frames). Excited to share our adventure with everyone and our experience with Limcroma!
 
Good luck. Sounds like you have chosen some great weapons to get the most out of your hunt. Taking care when in the sun is very good advice, lost my mother to melanoma. Enjoy making memories with your brother.
 
Good luck on your trip! I got back last month from an 8 day Safari with Limcroma and have nothing but good things to say about the outfit.

Officially arrived in Africa! Everything has gone perfectly to plan - Rifle Permits got us squared away with our permits and rifles, while Africa Sky hosted a fantastic dinner. A good night of sleep is in order to recover from the DL200 flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg!

One thing I do want to note is I purchased an extra economy seat for the flight so my brother and I would share a row. Often times on flights I find I am okay with the leg room (even at 6’4) but what really kills me is the lack of shoulder room. Splitting a third economy seat was better money spent in my view than doing the basic economy comfort while being quite a bit less expensive than Delta One or Comfort plus seats.
 
Good luck
 
That’s a nice lounge to wait to board in. Enjoy the trip!

We were supposed to be there starting today but everyone canceled on me. Going next year with or without them

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
