Africahunting.com is the only resource I can depend on for preparing my hunting adventure in Africa. Thank you Jerome.

Mark, Thanks a lot for the confirmation. I will be seeing Marius in less than a month. That's a fine looking hippo in the picture . Gun Emporium in Tullamarine just told me I have 40 rounds of .416 Rigby waiting for me. Going to be a lot of fun

Going after a second member of the big five in 3 weeks. Can hardly wait

Thank you for the most helpful information. I will write a report when I do my trip. Really looking forward to a great adventure. Best wishes to all Sjakon

Thanks Bob That is a huge relief Sjakon

Fantastic. Thank you Marius

Hi, in a few weeks I am flying Qantas from Melbourne to Sydney with my Mauser 98 in .416 Rigby and ammo, staying overnight at the airport hotel in Sydney, and leaving the next morning for Johannesburg on Qantas. I presume as long as I keep the gun in the guncase with me in the room at all times...

No amateur photographer is going to pay big bucks to visit isolated areas and spend time in the deep bush, mud, ticks, mossies. Only hunters. Well managed trophy hunting creates value for animals. No hunting and local people will just look at the value of the meat. With well managed trophy...

Thank you deewayne2003 That is really great news. I checked and apparently the Woodleigh factory will start operating at the end of this year. .

Thank you Bob

Thank you Aussie Hunter. Will contact them. Appreciate the info Fabnosh but don’t want to cross the Australian authorities and risk my license.

Thank you guys. I suppose at 50-100 meters .416 Rigby made by Bertram brass will be accurate enough. The reviews were rather mixed though. Thanks for the heads up regarding bureaucracy. Will get it locally. Going on safari with KMG next month. Cheers, Sjakon

Hello, Does anyone from Australia have suggestion where to find good quality unprimed .416 Rigby cases? Is it legal to order by post from the United States? Thanks for any information because finding .416 Rigby ammo in Victoria is really difficult.

Hi Aaron, I have bought my tickets on Qantas traveling Melbourne T1 to Sydney T3 and then T1 Sydney to Johannesburg. I got my dangerous goods permit from Qantas, was pretty instant after inputting my Firearms License. Also found the Restricted Goods Permit Form to be stamped by the Customs...

Thanks very much to both of you. I will start working on it. best regards, Sjakon

Great photos

Gosh, I went on my first African safari just before covid. I am 69 now and wish I started 10 years ago, however, things just were not ready yet. After the hunt I ordered a Mauser 98 in .416 Rigby which will finally arrive next month. I am just so excited and looking forward to using it in...

Aaron, Can you recommend a hunter friendly travel agent in Victoria or do you do everything yourself online? This is the first time I have taken a firearm overseas. Thank you Sjakon

Thanks Aaron. I will do that as well. Meeting up with Marius in Joberg I think.

Thank you. I will go this way.

Thank you very much guys. If Qantas is OK that would be preferable I guess. Thank you again

Hi everyone I am planning a trip to hunt in SA in September 2022 and want to take my .416 Rigby from Melbourne to Johannesburg. Any suggestions on which Airline is best? Thank you for any advice, Sjakon

Due to lockdown in Jakarta, my brother George has been cleaning up the old stored stuff in our late parents home. He discovered Dad’s tiger trophies we thought were lost [emoji4]

Dear Alistair, Thank you for a delightful read. I hope you thoroughly enjoy those cigars [emoji4]

Yes huge barns with high ceilings for drying and then they were stacked for fermenting. The had these thermometers stuck inside to check the temperature. I remember Dad telling me a stack was worth more than a Mercedez [emoji28]

Quite a dark wrapper. Dad used to have part ownership in a company that exported wrappers from East Java, Indonesia to the auction in Bremen Germany. The dark wrappers were supposed to have a higher nicotine level. I used to enjoy visiting cause they had a sign in the office with Please Smoke...

Thank you PARA45.

A favorite: H. Upmann Magnum 54 My brother bought these from the Cohiba factory at a fraction of the price and they were delicious. Our German humidor which uses ambient moisture to keep the cigars in good condition.

Beautiful trophies [emoji4]

Thank you for your compliments [emoji4]

Thanks Johnnyblues. I really do not know. This was our first hunting safari so we were not really measuring anything as long as the PH told us it was a suitable trophy.

Well it is now Friday Feb 28, 2020 On Tuesday morning we went plains game hunting again while waiting for the sun to get hot enough for crocks to start sunning themselves. Later we walked along the possible crocodile sunning areas and saw one crock lying on the edge of the water. We got into...
