Howdy folks,

I joined the forum today, never hunted in Africa but not new to hunting as I have been hunting moose, deer and small games since my young age here in Canada.

I'm in the very early stage of planning a hunting trip to Africa in the next two or three years and I came here to get more knowledge about it. I would probably start with something pretty basic such as a five species plainsgame safari and go from there.

I'm in my mid-30's, married with no kids, I speaks English and French, I like motorcycles, bulldogs, shooting, off roading and the great outdoors in general. I have been working in the Canadian Army for almost 20 years, I served in Germany, Bosnia and Afghanistan as well as some domestic deployments.

I can't wait to read your posts and learn from you guys.

Stephen
 
Welcome to AH Stephen! Great intro, we look forward to having you as part of our community. Enjoy the site!
 
Thanks for the warm welcome Jerome.

I forgot to mention that I have family in South Africa so it would probably be my hunting destination as I'd like to combine a hunting trip with visiting relatives.
 
Welcome to AH Bellero! You have done quite a lot in your lifetime! Great to have you here! So much info from many safari veterans to be shared. all u need is to ask :)
 
Stephen, welcome to the forum, I am actually starting a trip to RSA today partially thanks to this great forum. Lots of people who can help you get that first trip off the ground. Like you I have been in the Canadian Army for 25 years and served in Afghanistan, Congo and Haiti. Any questions at all, feel free to send me a PM. Aussi, je suis capable de parler en francais.
 
Welcome Stephen! Pretty friendly place here, please ask any and all questions you have.

Welcome to AH.
Just came down from hunting Vaalies at 8600 feet in EC and thought I would stop by AH before dinner.

Glad to see another Canadian joining in. You can hunt anywhere in southern Africa and take a short skip or jump to visit family in RSA.

Good luck planning.

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.
