Just reading this book here on my trip in the Eastern Cape. A very good read by a PH in Kenya and Tanganyika and Botswana in the 1950’s up until the early’80’s

First of all I will say that it took me a long time to settle on somewhere to hunt a buffalo . i exchanged emails and WhatsApp with various of our sponsors. Sometimes dates didn’t work, terms and conditions didnt sit happily with me or simply it didn’t on reflection appeal enough. Earlier this...

I’m sure others have done it. Fly, self drive or get a minibus ? This year prior to our hunt we hired a 4x4 from Namibia2Go. Can’t fault them, easy to deal with and they give a great package. We drove up to Etosha, stayed at Mondjila camp just outside the park. Next morning we took a game drive...

Some weeks ago I was invited to join a small group traveling to Czech for a 2 day driven boar hunt. My reply was instant and positive. I have previously organised some hunts for groups with outfitters in various European countries so it was a bit of a pleasure to have that off my mind. So...

A few weeks ago @Frog Morton touched base with me as both she and her brother @Mac Baren were stopping over in Dublin for a couple of days en route to South Africa. They are staying for a week on their way back to do a bit of sightseeing, horse riding and hopefully a bit of fox hunting on...

Here at home my firearms and ammunition must be secured and locked away at home, secured separately when traveling by car out of sight. The joy of Africa ! Being able to hang them up in my bedroom and occasionally look at them and reflect on another great days hunting. but it looks like again...

Hi all, Has anyone any experience of flying with Ethiopian Airlines ? I am looking to next years trip to Namibia. The last trips have been with SAA through London Heathrow and Oliver Tambo. With Ethiopian Airlines there is only one stopover at Addis Abba. These days the less security...

Hi folks, I am tentatively planning another visit to Namibia next year. A friend of mine from Toronto,Canada is considering joining me. Does anyone have recommendations for a relatively pain/hassle/grief free route from Toronto to Windhoek in May ? What firearms friendly airlines are there out...

Now and again something of beauty crosses our path. A few stories cross paths in this tale but if you have time.......I will try to make it interesting. Some years ago a Norwegian friend invited me up to Trysil in Norway to try my luck for a moose. Well I am still trying for that moose but...

Having read a lot of the great reports and stories penned by the guys on this forum I felt I should make my own contribution. I have been to Hungary a few times now to hunt driven boar. It is a bit addictive. The baying of the dogs and the crash of the rifles in the forest cause a certain...

you don't normally see these fellows in the middle of a field in broad daylight. a mature Sika stag.
