Between the crosses for the white farmers on the US capital and just crime I'm general in sa be rampant and dangerous, it's all over my feed. Anybody else seeing this? It makes me wonder if it will get to the point that it's just not safe to travel to South Africa anymore in the future? Thoughts?
World's most popular community & resource for hunting in Africa since 2007
Seeing alot of news on the crime in SA lately

Is it to that point at this time, not necessarily if you make smart choices.
Will it be in the future? An answer to that is just guessing. Like shaking a magic 8 ball for an answer.
Over time, it is trending towards less maintenance and more crime. It could also start trending the other way if some things change.

Mr J, social media feeds on what you click on and watch.
im a South African and iv clicked on a few links from Fox News etc, to me it looks like America is falling apart at the seems and the next zombie apocalypse is about to break out.
so don't believe everything on the social media side.
yes there has always been crime in South Africa especially in the city and yes there have been farm murders, but this has been over many years since 1994. most of these crimes should have been highlighted many years ago, but have only gained traction now.
I have a family with 3 kids and a wife and no I don't sleep with my door unlocked, but we are safe.
the farms and areas you will hunt are safe chat to your outfit where you are hunting, but we would not be advertising hunts if it was that bad.
regards

To me it is just a travel hub with my never leaving the airport on to a different country so I feel very safe. Also when I hunt SA the outfitter picks me up from the airport and knows where not to go so I feel very safe. I would never spend a day in SA sight seeing on my own

Using the airport transfer and sticking with the outfitter takes out most of the sketchy parts for a visiting hunter. Solo sightseeing is a different proposition entirely.

Good morning from Montana.
I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.
Best,
Kelly Palmer

Good Evening. I am very interested in you hunt for the spiral slam. March in 2028 would be fine for me
Couple of quick questions:
1) Can we add some additional species on
2) what do you want for a deposit?
3) how do you want me to sign up
I'm on whats app or email

have a great evening
