I can only echo everything positively said about Bergzicht. Hannes, Geraldine, Steph, Marie-Louise and the entire staff are beyond accommodating to all your needs. The management of the land, accommodations, food and game quality is outstanding. I highly recommend Bergzicht, book with confidence.

Hunted with Hannes and Steph in 2019, Covid side tracked a return trip for now. Not my first trip to Namibia, but I can assure you my return WILL be with Bergzicht Game Lodge. Won't bore you with details, but between myself and my party we took 25+ mature, healthy animals over two weeks...

My son and I had the pleasure of hunting with Steph a few years back. An extremely knowledgeable and competent PH, and an absolute pleasure to be around. A return trip was planned for last year, but circumstances on my end changed that. I do plan on hunting with Steph again in the future.

Great bull, congrats my friend.

My CZ 550 wears a 2x8 Leupold.

WOW

I realize this tread is primarily about DG, I felt the need to post my experience.

In 2015 I took a Hartmann's Zebra, Waterbok, Gemsbok, Red Hartebeest, Blue & Black Wildebeest all with Hornady 270 gr. .375 H&H. Although all but the Zebra were one shot kills (took two shots, first one behind shoulder), the bullets came apart pretty bad, some came totally out of their...

What 375 are you shooting?

Just hoping he made it back alive.

Hi Muleman, Just wondering how your hunt went?

Welcome to the group Dave, looking forward to your future posts. I'll be returning to Namibia next year in the northern portion of the country, my previous trips were two hours north of Windhoek. Now that I'll be in the higher risk area, I can't get enough information on this subject. Cheers.

I have a great taxidermist, I've used him for over forty years. When there is additional work to done, whatever the reason, he charges for it and I have absolutely no problem with that. No, I've never tipped him, nor does he expect to be tipped. We've had this conversation over the years, and...

My nephew got TBF from a bite in July in SA, but he's the type that doesn't believe in any prevention. My son and I had no problems in May and June in Namibia, but took precautions. When it comes to ticks anywhere in the world you can't be too careful. Spray your clothes, boots and gaiters...

No tip. Always pay when requested, and always pay in cash.

First off, I would like for the hunter to at least say what caliber and bullet weight he's using. And as far as PH's getting a word or two in, I find that "Tracks Across Africa" does a very good job with that. Good luck with your endeavor, hope to be watching it some day.

I've never had any issues with my CZ 550 375, all work done on it was elective.

I've had Harlan do various work (custom) on my CZ 550 .375 H&H and I've been extremely satisfied. Since then, I've sent other rifles for service/work. Can't beat them.

Like the man says, prevention...

Well, although I haven't traveled through Johannesburg myself with firearms (nor do I plan on doing so), friends and family have not been so fortunate as your clients. I can't imagine getting through faster than I have. Be that as it may, good hunting and me safe my friend.

You've made it clear now my friend, the tread was about Namibia. Cheers.

I had the same experience, couldn't have been more pleased.

It was easy enough before, this is icing on the cake.

I went with a light sky blue for my African's, it reminds me of the safari. My North American's an off white. IMHO

Has any one had any experience with Bergzicht Game Lodge, Namibia?

Thank you Kabo for the info, I've been speaking with Steph about 2017.

Has anyone hunted with this outfitter Keibeb Safaris, and what was your experience?

I believe I just did.

My son and I just returned this past Tuesday (June 8th 2015) from Otjinuke Hunting Ranch, Namibia. Our stay was 12 days, 10 of which we hunted. We took 11 animals, most were Gold, the rest were Silver. From the very first day we explained that we're not about record book animals, just mature...

Got back from Namibia on Tuesday June 8th from a 10 day hunt (11 animals taken) with my son. We traveled JFK (New York) to Frankfurt (Germany) to Windhoek (Namibia), and return. No issue whatsoever, Form #4457 was all that was asked for. It was as if this crap never happened. I'm soooo glad...

I guess I'll find out

Thank you Bob, will do. My best to Rosella.

I leave for Namibia in two weeks out of JFK, returning two weeks later. I'll post my experience as it pertains to the travel.

Just think of all the small businesses that the Obama administration will be able to take credit for, in time for the 2016 elections.

Goes into affect April 3rd, I would think there shouldn't be any issues.

My last response to this tread: I am "happy" that there is an NRA, I know that all our gun rights would be gone without them. That is why I continue to be a member and encourage all gun owners to do so as well. Your comment of "Quite often organizations like the NRA depend on us the little...

Forgive me, but I was under the impression that our lobby money was for issues such as these. I can understand the little people like us being blindsided, but not the NRA. Sorry, no slack being cut by me.

Where were they before this was being shoved down our throats? Oh, I forgot, calling my house every other night looking for additional money.

I feel better, knowing what I know now. Thank you all.

I'll go through it tomorrow, thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Thank you Brickburn, it's what I've been looking for.

I'll be traveling to Namibia in May 2015, JFK to Frankfurt on Lufthansa, then to Windhoek via Air Namibia. My travel agent tells me Germany no longer requires a firearms permit. Luft. and Air Namibia have a baggage agreement, so I won't see my baggage once I board initially till I land in...

Glad to hear your buff was recovered. PH doing as they should, not like those mentioned in this thread.

enysse, you couldn't have said it better.

That's very unfortunate for your friend, as well as for the sport Enysse.

I can vouch for WALKINGPREY2's integrity and honesty. She was put into a situation by a professional that should never have happened, plain and simple. She will only become a better hunter after this, she can't possibly be a better person.
