Glad to finally be joining this community! I'm anxiously counting the days until my 3rd trip to Africa. I hunted in Namibia in 2009, in Zambia in 2014 and I'll be back in Namibia on June 10th. There's nothing like the anticipation of going back to Africa. I'll write a full trip report when I get back.
 
Welcome aboard!1 We look forward to the report!

Who did you go with in Namibia and Zambia?
 
Welcome to AH !
 
To pass the time until this trip you can share a report on those other trips.

Welcome to AH.

Enjoy your return.
 
Welcome! Looking forward to hearing of your upcoming safari.
 
What part of MO?
 
Welcome to AH sir. I look forward to your report and pictures.
 
Welcome to HA Doug375! Glad to have you as part of our community. Looking forward to reading about your journey back to Namibia.
 
Welcome to AH, I look forward to reading about your next Namibia trip!
 
By the way Doug what part of Missouri are you from? I’m just across the state line in Kansas City area.
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome to AH Doug375. Having been on two prior safaris you already know most of the "drill." Hopefully you will be able to learn something from AH to make your next trip even more memorable. What's on the menu this time?
 
It's great to hear from all of you! I live in Sunset Hills which is in St. Louis County.

My first trip to Africa was to Namibia. I hunted with Immenhof Hunting near Omaruru in the Erongo area. I took Kudu, Gemsbok, Red Hartebeast, Harman's Mountain Zebra and Warthog. All were old, excellent trophies. My PH was Werner von Seydlitz, who with his father, Fredrich, own and operate Immenhof. The von Seydlitz family made me feel like I was a part of their family. The accomodations are excellent and so is the food. I can't wait to get back. This time I'm after Eland, Springbok, Blesbok, Blue Wildebeest and maybe another Gemsbok. Some pics from my first Namibia trip.

My first Kudu.

In 2014 I hunted in the Luangua Valley in Zambia. The area was Nyamvu, which is one of the private areas south of the Park and on the east side of the river. My PH was Alister Norton. A great guy and a great Hunter! I took an old grey Dugga boy Buffalo, my second Kudu, Puku, Bushbuck, Waterbuck, my second Warthog and an Impala. Nyamvu is a game rich area. Unbelievable numbers of plains game. I can't imagine a better place for Roan. Although it wasn't on my hit list, we saw good ones every day. The camp was old Africa. Remote, beautiful and comfortable. Lions roaring at night.....even saw a lone female who was very pregnant. Elephants drank from the river daily in front of camp. I want to go back on my next trip and will if I don't go to Niassa first! Some pics.

I think Bushbuck hunting might be my favorite next to Buffalo.

Sometimes you need to go with your strength!

I'll post a trip report as soon as I'm back from Namibia.
 
Great trophies sir.
