Second trip to @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS was better than the 1st, except for the weather (rained 3 of the 7 days). Even with the rain, we were able to harvest more animals than we originally planned. I was mainly after Eland, Waterbuck, Warthog, Bushpig, and always Bushbuck/Kudu. A friend also...

Besides age, what factors contribute to a bull losing it's facial hair (climate, habitat, etc)? Seems like even old bulls from SA retain more facial hair. Is there a certain area one would hunt for this type of old, ugly bull?

Looking into a wild croc/hippo hunt. For others that have done it, what's the different type of experience of hunting river (Zambezi/Luangwa) vs a lake (Kariba/Cahorra Bassa)?

What is the issue with the scarcity of new model 70’s in 375 & 416? Used ones seem to be going for more than new msrp. If they suspended production, anyone know when Winchester will resume? Also, why doesn’t Winchester make these in a Super Grade stock? Seems like most would pay an extra 4-500...

It is a bit confusing which outfit runs each parks concession, campfire area, or coutada (Zim or Mozambique). Seems like there are several safari companies advertising hunts in the same location, and many (reputable from what I have researched) based out of SA, and possibly not licensed PH’s in...

For a dip and pack shipment (non cites), can the shipment be delivered directly to your residence after clearing customs? Or does it have to go to a licensed taxidermist? Thinking about doing the skull work myself.

This June will be my first time bringing my own rifle for a Zimbabwe hunt. I've done all the paperwork and am using a broker to get me through JNB. I'm not married to my rifle and it's not super expensive, so I'd prefer to just use a loaner vs. being held up (losing hunt time). What are the...

Heading to northern Zimbabwe in June/July. Health/Travel maps showed the transmission season was Dec through Apr in the location. My body seems to respond more than others to prescription meds & I sunburn easily (doxy) - what is the infection risk of not taking malaria prevention this time of year?

Has Emirates or Qatar airlines been cancelling flights, or other issues? A travel agent is not recommending them; their schedules look better for my trip, and I would avoid JNB. I’m wondering if their commission rate drop has something to do with it…

I don't see many options in this price range in 375 or 416 calibers; I am thinking something like a Model 70 Safari Express with nicer wood/finish. Not looking for fancy, but the plain jane wood or laminate stocks don't excite me much. Any options I'm overlooking?

Been keeping my eye out for one of these for years, and finally found a stock I liked. With the veteran discount and rebate, I'm feeling like I got a "rich man's rifle" for a steal. Now to see how the 7mm Mag shoots, leaning towards a Swaro Z3 4-12 to top off.

Is the trophy shipping totally shut down? Although there’s little passenger traffic, I would think that there’s plenty of planes/ships that could use some business, especially with the low fuel prices.

Not a big internet poster, but I'll give it a try: Recently completed my first hunt in Africa with Game 4 Africa in the East Cape , hunting with PH Wik. Had a outstanding hunt and took 12 animals. Wik has the best game eyes I’ve ever been around; we saw between 150-200 different Kudu bulls over...

First post - Which plains game animals should a first/2nd timer focus on when going to these different regions? Have plans for East Cape next year; have a feeling I'll be back and like seeing new country..... From what I've been reading - I should definitely be looking at Springbuck, Black...
