Africana TV? Not familiar however I have been working closely with "The Africa Channel" hoping and wishing they would air some more interesting stuff other than the African soap operas targeting ex- Africans living in the states. Is there a link to Africana TV? Or are you meaning a bunch of...

Could this be modified by a gunsmith for a right hand shooter?

Excellent ! I also visited his grave last year. If you find yourself in Nairobi and bored, go visit the local cemeteries like Langata. I have been able to fin JA Hunter, and after two days searching John Boyes. Also a fun day trip to see Finch Hattons grave.

Yes, Close friends with Dzombo and have been twice to Namibia with them, feel free to ask any questions

Wow, I would travel across the globe to shake your hands and hear some first hand stories....

I would think a bunch of Big Game Hunters wouldn't fear driving in challenging circumstances :-) Im just teasing you all, yes you have to have your wits about you and pay close attention to your surroundings and pick the less populated routes and bad things do happen, but to me, thats the fun...

Take the direct from Atlanta to CT, rent a car and run around. Then continue to Zambia. If you wanting to visit SA I would skip coming in through Europe and ME> Thanks for your service to Zambians. I work with medical teams serving in Africa and they bring such a blessing to the locals.

welcome from a fellow Coloradian , well , at least part time :-)

AHHHHHH timing is everything! what a deal!

Sure this wasn't stolen from Capstick? just kddn beautiful rifle

Please excuse this absolutely ignorant question, but what would make a double rifle left or right handed? The stock?

I take it shipping would be 40 per book? I cant imagine all those heavy books being 40 to ship to the USA., if so that would be $1400.00 plus $640 shipping, $2040 is a bit much honestly. Not trying to be mean. Shame nobody local would like to have them in their collection.

Me too! LOL

Overall they did a great job, even referencing the Tsavo Maneaters. The tents, safari vehicles, clothing everything was spot on.. and at 35 million an episode they should have asked someone how to represent the tribal people of the time correctly. JMHO

I have been reading African History, Hunting, Exploration, Missionary tales for 30 years, I just returned from my 31st trip to Africa and have traveled and worked there for 25 years. I am not bragging but find myself being critical of just about anything regarding the portrayal of Africa...

Im also looking for a 3D map, preferably wall size.

OK, am I an idiot and reading this wrong??? Namibia is more dangerous that Somalia? Sudan?

I fly united to Africa many times a year, they are as good as any...

Hey all, I head out soon and I believe everything is in order.. little nervous heading out alone but excited to experience Africa from the open. I plan to update every few days and will attempt to add pics and information here for those who care to follow. I am over the age of caring about...

Any updates on the Lion? I have family in Ark who can pick it up if the price is right, I would simply be on display in a mancave.

Welcome! What part of Brazil are you from?

Cool experience, thanks for sharing

Seriously? What are you basing this on? Please elaborate

Wow that sounds like fun!, I have flow around kenya myself and would like to do more in the future. I bet the coast over Mozambique was amazing! were you able to land along the way along the beach?

I am currently adding better shocks and front suspension support to my stock bike, I really am trying to prep it for the long haul. I chose this bike because its small enough to lift myself, and big enough to reach decent speeds on the hwy.

Thank you, and thanks for the videos, Yes I have a 360 camera and will post links to my facebook/ instagram/and youtube if that isnt agains the rules, however I am not a good self promoter and plan to enjoy the journey more than capture amazing shots of myself......

I plan to be in Zambia around the 8th of September, I will cross over at Vic falls or possibly Sesheke and my journey in Zambia will be to my friends place in Luangwa, where I will either pass through across river to Mozambique or backtrack north to get to Lilongwe, any advice? thank you

I know this is a forum on Hunting, but thought many of you might be interested in my upcoming adventure. I'm starting to get excited for an upcoming adventure September 1st. I work in Kenya and travel back and forth around 6 times a year, I have been looking for an Adventure bike around...

Well, if it is transferable, shoot me a price, I am in Botsawana often and heck, I will go hunt one animal, why not... Depending on price of course.

I doubt its transferable , but I could be wrong

From SA? Or Kenya?

Great question and I have done some research on this, yes 25 years or older you can register in the states (probably not California and other super blue states) and I have another option if that doesn't work (vermont) I have been wanting to ship my Land Cruiser safari vehicle from kenya to...

karibu sana

random question,,, Are the feet of the lion level with the pedestal, in other words, if you removed the lion from the pedestal would it stand on the floor?

Some of those prices on other mounts were shocking, how sad.

You bring up an interesting thought.. what is iconic Africa? I have been blessed to visit many African countries, sometimes for long periods of time. And sometimes over the campfire someone will ask me, what is your favorite African country? Many times while wandering the great continent I...

Excellent information and I am at a point trophies mean nothing to me, its about experience ! and price :-)

Just depends, Ive seen them free and up to 10K There was an auction here in Colorado Springs a few months ago that had real tigers mounted way back in the day, I was shocked how cheap they went. I bid but was in Africa and missed the end of the auction so lost out. I simply wanted them...

My 1974 Land Rover I owned back in South Africa in 1998 Current ride in Kenya, owned by the NGO..

So, I spent last Thursday at the Forest Road cemetery again, so sad, this place is a dump, filled with broken down graves of the early pioneers and tons of homeless living in the cemetery. I had a police escort with me as they stated it was too dangerous for me to spend the day their alone...

Love it! And that's great to hear that some family are still there.

Last September I had some downtime between guests coming to Kenya, I have a weird hobby of visiting old cemetery's and spent a Sunday exploring the Langata cemetery in Nairobi and tracked down John Hunters grave. It was completely buried in dirt and overgrown vines. I cleaned it the best I...

If thats the case we are all in trouble !!! LOL

There are literally hundreds of must reads in my option, Elephants and Ivory has recently struck a cord with me and I am on my third read in the same year. Its so poetic, kind of like Out Of Africa for hunters,

I used to use a SAT phone on all my trips to Africa, before that a GCS 1000 satellite email device. Now even in the poorest of Malawi I have excellent service, I have even facetimed my kids while in Safari in the Serengetti. Odly enough my phone and wifi does not work in Namibia at all ...

Rhino? Wow .... What area of Namibia?

Exactly, I struggle with Aid and Charity in Africa and work hard to not perpetuate the charity mindslet as well as disrupt the culture with western influence .. its a tough one.

Well, after six months I am finally leaving back to Africa Sunday, working in Ethiopia, checking on a Kenya and Malawi projects and then visiting the outfitter that I mentioned above to discuss me consulting and handling the Aid work on their concession. Hope it works out as this would be a...

I dont remember, however he posted in one of the many Capstick threads ...
