My first trip over the pond was 28. I have been fortunate to have 9 amazing trips since then. Don’t wait to go. Shipping trophies home is getting ridiculous.

Brothers in Africa making memories that will last a lifetime . So many memories . So many pictures .

Guns and ammo boxes are found on the far wall from where you enter international arrivals . To exit to get to your domestic flight you will need to clear customs left of where everyone without guns exits. I usually walk to the left of the huge line and inform the customs officers that I have...

What I have learned 1 - When bringing your kids under 18 you need birth certificates , passports, notarized letter from spouse (if not traveling with) and a copy of spouse passport. 2- I now bring a Polaroid camera. The pictures we keep and leave have become very cherished by all. 3- I have...

The easiest way to find Mr X is via Facebook. Xolile Monakali As for ammo I use the plastic cases. The only question anyone has ever asked is “ Is the ammo in individual separated containers , or loose in a bag? “ They don’t want them loose and bouncing around. Make sure the small case...

Chicago - amsterdam - joburg round trip $880.00 . This is leaving the end of may and returning the middle of june . Last year I paid 100 more. The online gun permit application is no problem. I wish South Africa would do the same thing and save us all some time in the police station at the...

Property size - Greg's family ownes around 16,000 acres located where the lodge is. It is entirely fenced with electric because of the buffalo. - plenty of land for multiple hunters and ph's to not see each other each day. On the last safari we hunted 95% on Greg's land. He has many neighbors...

Let me start with explaining a few things. I have hunted most of the animals found in South Africa. Except for the animals that want to stomp or eat me for dinner. I have hunted some great pieces of property. 50,000 acres in Vryhid was by far the most diverse. Unfortunitly that piece was taken...

I have the same gun. I use woodleigh. My gun loves to collect copper from the bullets and is a real treat to clean. It is my first double and from what I read some guys don’t really think it’s a huge deal to have a double that copper fouls easily. I have had great results with the woodleigh. I...

Close up glamor shot and a free mud bath.

I took a chance in 2012 and hunted with Marius. Just like some others have taken chances with other outfitters . I to this day will hunt anywhere in Africa with him. Honesty and experiance are the most important things when choosing a outfitter.

My guess is its a grey animal that has eyes like a hawk and horns like daggers.

Funny I wonder where you got those! The only problem with my 10x42 hr -r is that I can not switch from yards to meters. Ask Marius he has first hand knowledge. If I was to upgrade mine I would definitely get the hd-b 10x42. The new prism is much clearer than my current set.

I live just north of milwaukee. Cabelas in Richfield wisconsin is a must. Gander mountain gun world is only a few miles south of cabelas. The gun world has guns and more guns. I really enjoy going to the cabelas gun vault . Cabelas is a experiance and gander is a sales store. Sorry no help on...

Goose, I am sure there are a whole bunch of us in the states that would love for you to come over and watch the shows you can't get over there. I have a chair for you in the man cave. Right next to the Merkel double rifle. Just saying .

I stumbled across the Africa series on animal planet today. Savannah, Congo, Cape and Sahara are the four that my dvr recorded. It's a good watch for people who haven't seen Africa's beauty. Or people like myself who wish could spend more time there. Check it out . Aaron

http://www.gunsofthesouth.com/ I jumped into the club of owning my first double. I purchased a merkel 450/400 from Lincoln Smith of guns of the south. He just came out with a new pricelist on his web page. If I had enough money I would buy another one. Check it out. Aaron

https://www.facebook.com/DLCHB D&l brokers out of Chicago are the best at what they do. I have used them many times. Never one problem. I have also used the others mentioned above. The main difference with D&L is I feel like they care about my trophies and don't call and threaten to charge...

I was thinking of bringing a pith hat along on the next safari to be nostalgic. But at 4 pounds that's cutting into my weight limit . Lol

Ultimate firearms carbon stealth is the muzzleloader I use. It is a joy to shoot and it has served me very well. The airlines stopped allowing us to bring pellets on the flights back in 2005. My muzzleloader uses a magnum rifle primer. That being said it will only burn about 120 grains of...

I have used a 50 cal muzzleloader on 5 safaris. Good quality black powder has been getting harder and harder to acquire. I left the muzzleloader at home for the last safari. Finding powder is not a problem. Sanadex is easly acquired . Sanadex is very dirty and with 100 grains and a 275 grain...

It took me many nights in a stand to shoot this large boar. The outfitter I used is no longer in business. Yet Kmg safaris in the eastern cape has bush pig hunting figured out. He got my hunting partner a nice boar.It's all about getting one on bait and trying to pattern their habits. Archery...

Lucky.

I bring a iPad. Works good for skype and with the right adapter the camera card is easily downloaded. Light weight and long battery life. Perfect travel companion. Also it's easy to show off pictures from past hunts. No more photo book brought along. All on the iPad.

I use 400 grain woodleigh bullets , 72.5 grains of imr4007 ssc , 215m primers. Out of my ruger one the velocity is 2025. At 100 yards I get 3 shot groups the size of my thumbnail. I buy my bullets from huntington's. I found some cases online by doing many searches of the box # 86934. I bought...

His letterhead will have all the info needed to make sure he is legit . I wouldn't want you or anyone...

80 acres for 4250.00 a acre. That's a lot of money to hunt Africa where you don't sit in a cold tree waiting for a animal to walk past. Don't get me wrong I like whitetail hunting. Yet I will rather from now on lease hunting land .Whitetail hunting in buffalo county has become a rich mans sport.

Suggestion - Pack your bags and meet 3 fellow Wisconsin hunters at Milwaukee airport may 10th. Don't wait go now. Welcome to AH. Selling my whitetail hunting land in Buffalo county and concentrating on Africa.

Hands down my Vaal/Oribi hunt with Marius was the best Africa hunting I have experienced. From the tops of mountains for Vaal to the beaches of the Indian Ocean for Oribi. The little blue diker is next on my list with Marius.

I also have been looking for My first double. On my previous hunts I have used a muzzleloader. Not being able to get quality black powder in South Africa has forced me to let the muzzleloader in the safe. For this years hunt I am bringing my ruger 1 in 450/400. I have installed a leupold vxr...

Namibia is not cheaper than SA. Flights to get there are more. Shipping the trophies out of there is double what you pay in SA. I loved Namibia as a country. I loved hunting the open consession but all the travel and all the extra costs make SA more appealing to me.
