2 months from today we will be landing at camp for our first safari. The trip has been on the books for 18 months but is getting real now and the excitement is building. Still lots of things to get done…. I appreciate all the help and info from people on this site. Myself and 3 buddies will be hunting 16 days in Moyowosi and Lake Natron areas of Tanzania. Hopefully will have a good report to share before too long!

I remember my first safari. When I had airplane tickets in the pocket, I refused to think about it. I simply would not be able to sleep, thinking of the first safari.
Good luck,looking fwd to your report!

I believe it's called "group enabling."
I’m 25 days out. It’s intense

I’ll be heading over in August 24th. This will be my 5th safari since 2009 and I’m just as excited for this one as any of the others. Got a couple of new rifles I am taking for the first time and that has added quite a bit to the excitement for me on this trip. Getting these rifles sighted in and practicing with them has been quite an enjoyable part of the preparation this time. Enjoy the anticipation of an upcoming safari as it will pass all too fast and you’ll have to start planning the next one.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.
Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?
Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
