My wife and just recently got back from our first hunting safari! And let me tell you I miss it so much I just want to move there and start my own once I retire! I got 16 years and I'll be over there! Seems like a long time but not really the past 4 years have flown by! Any who here are a few pictures! I shot the sable, zebra and an impala and she shot the blue wildebeest, warthog and an impala!

Wow! And welcome to AH:S Welcome: What a great first post. What outfit did you hunt with?
 
Congrats on your hunt.

Thanks all were with a bow except my zebra! They didn't cooperate with bow hunting so the last day and last hunt we broke out the rifle and made it a bit easier!
 
A fine first trip to Africa I'd say! Welcome to the Africa dreaming forum!
 
Welcome to AH and thank you for sharing your pictures.
 
Welcome to AH Sam. You guys had a great hunt. Unlike most of us you will not have to convince your wife that a return trip is "necessary." You showed us the pics. now it's time for the stories that go along with each animal.
 
What a great first hunt!!! Welcome to AH!
 
Great hunt and pictures. Did you hunt from a blind or spot and stalk? I took my bow both times but only wanted to spot and stalk. It's definitely a hard place to hunt that way but it's just what I wanted to do. My next trip I might not even take a rifle with me.

Welcome to AH I'm fairly new here but love the commodore of the AH family. Unlike most forums everyone seems to be friendly and willing to help out.
 
Welcome to AH, and congrats for a great hunt !
 
Congrats on the trip! I'll be heading over to visit Ubathi next spring
 
Congrats very nice trophies indeed.

Just got back from hunting with ubathi myself. Awesome adventure!! Congrats on the trophies

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
