-Hey guys, I have been home for a few weeks now. But just didn't get a chance to do this write up. So here we go. As you all know, the stuffy nose heard around the world has really messed with any travel plans. I was scheduled to meet up with Bossie from Limpopo Big Game Safaris back in May...

So I wanted to see what all you guys do. I know some of you carry some pretty expensive rifles to Africa. Below is a pic of my normal travel kit. I honestly thought air lines cover whatever they lose. Sounds like they don't. I'm a very frequent flyer even with my status in that airline they only...

I had to move my hunt from this May to next May. I noticed SA is now saying they will open to international travelers in February of 21. That seems pretty tight since many borders have had delays in opening. Who has their flights booked and whose waiting to see what happens? I was planning on...

You know, there are so many threads about tipping vs not tipping, brake vs no brake, Hornady vs Nosler, Blaser vs everything else LOL. Here is one I have not seen. Watches.... I am a huge watch lover. I was curious what do all of the AH.com crowd wear when on a hunt? I wore a Suunto Traverse...

I know I know. This is AfricaHunting.com. But from spending time on this site I've found more world hunters then any other site. So I know I'll have someone with the answer. Since Covid ruined my Limpopo hunt that was scheduled to leave next week. I decided to move it to next year and instead...

I am getting very frustrated with them. The entire call center is closed in US and South Africa, I tried both. So I went online to "Manage my booking". But when you enter your flight info it doesn't do anything but show you your flight info. The website claims to allow you edit and cancel...

So I have finally completed one full safari. And when I say "full", I mean I have completed the hunt. I had the trophies mounted. And I imported them home. So I finally have my total cost...... not impressed with all of the costs I incurred back in Canada. I shot a kudu, gemsbok, sable...

So I was waiting for some wood to come in to create the back walls and the pedestals. Once it arrived I had to clear my schedule. When I start a project it has to be completed. So my African animals are now in there permanent spot. My two white tail bucks are still sitting on a temporary dvd...

As some of you already know. My trophies from my first trip to Africa have arrived. I'm waiting for some wood that I ordered to build the pedestals and the back wall I'm creating. Once I have that I'll be hanging these trophies. It's got to be perfect. But my trophy room floor has trophy's all...

Hello everyone, I finally received all my mounts from my first trip to Africa. My initial comments will be they are "Not Bad". I mean I am thrilled to have them, they are so different then all the north american species I have now. So they look great from that perspective. But I do have a...

I know right, Red Stag in Canada!!! Well in a small town in Eastern Quebec, Canada(about a hour from Maine border) just 1.5 hour drive from Quebec City Airport. There is a outfitter who has figured it out! And is doing a great job at it. The property is absolutely stunning, with a small...

Hey guys, Been reading through all the Africa reviews and noticed some guys post there own DIY hunts as well in the north america section. So I live in central/southern Ontario Canada which is known for some big bucks. I'm far away from the city where we have nice bush and good agriculture...

I figured this would be the best forum to ask this. I am beginning to research a red stag hunt for 2020. I'm trying to compare value as I understand the European model is a trophy Fee based on size. Now I understand the CIC system has different bronze, silver and gold levels based on the country...

I probably should have done this a long time ago. But I guess better late then never. I was there last year in August. It my first trip to Africa. To be honest I never even had Africa on my radar. I'm a avid deer, elk, moose and black bear hunter. Being in Canada these are our game animals and I...

Hello everyone. Long time no talk. I've been really busy with family and work. Trying to pay off my first African hunt hahaha. Last year I popped my cherry and had my first African hunt on the eastern cape. Took a kudu, sable, nyala, gemsbok, impala, zebra, blue wildebeest and a blesbuck on a 7...

Is this allowed? Obviously as long as you stay under the weight requirement? I leave on Tuesday for my first Africa hunt. Can't Wait!!!!

So my first trip is in 77 days. I'll be at hunterhill safari in the Eastern cape. I was wondering about vaccines. I imagine your typical booster is needed and twinrix will be a must. From what I understand malaria is not a concern in my region so I don't need anything for that. Is there anything...

Hello all, new member here. I am a pretty active member on other hunting and shooting forums. But I am heading on my first Africa hunt this year and figured I needed to join a forum with some experts in this realm. I am a super detailed person who extra plans everything. So I wanted to...

Hello everyone. Been hunting all my life. Have taken many Canadian animals like whitetail, moose, black bear and waterfowl. Doing my first Africa hunt this summer. Here to start learning.
