Gloves, hand warmers, jackets....all good. But I find two other things absolutely critical: (1) a hat (most your heat is lost through the head); (2) constantly snacking (food is fuel is warmth).

I have the good hat thing covered. That was a priority for my first trip back in June.

That's a beautiful hat! I'd still say if you want to be warm, put a beanie or something under it, get the ears covered, etc.
Many options, but here's an example of what I am thinking of:

NurseFet, the thing to remember about cold weather gear and hunting in Africa is that by 10:00 it is generally much warmer and you need to shed some of it to stay comfortable. Soooo you need to add a roomy backpack to keep all of your "goodies" corralled.

Not knowing where you are hunting and when I can recommend Sitka for cold weather gear especially gloves. For most hunting in Africa the typical layering does not work. You want a heavy coat for morning especially if in open air vehicle and then things can really warm up. Shed the coat into some normal hunting clothes and you are off. Having the right clothes is important so best of luck.

Merino wool as a base layer is great. There are also Merino gloves that you can get. KUIU, Sitka, Badlands, and First Lite have great stuff. Check out their web sites, and compare. Like someone said, Camofire is a great place to buy discounted hunting gear. I've purchase some Sitka & First Lite stuff there at ridiculous low prices. With hunting season being over, keep an eye for clearance sales.
Good luck, and let us know what you end up buying.

I’ve heard the rumors, but I’ve never actually seen the deer costume pics.
Antelope... well now, that is another matter!

I’m sorry Cody! Truly I am. But you know if I didn’t do it Royal would have! Or Tim, or Bob, or...
It really is one of your better photos, although it wasn’t taken from your good side.

I went to SA in May 2014 ,When hunting I wore a long sleeve shirt pants my Safari vest and a baseball cap. I did not feel cold in the mornings or hot in the afternoons. It's possible that adrenalin may have helped with the cold mornings

Hi EGS
I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
