In April of 2022 I headed out in search of an adventure that had been calling me since the early 2000's when I first started dreaming of Africa.

That adventure was for the elusive Bongo. One of the first African species I can ever remember seeing in photographs was the Bongo and I instantly knew I had to hunt one. the amazing bell-shaped horns, the bright orange coloration with almost fluorescent white stripes they just stuck out to me.

I started planning this hunt in 2020 and after a few years of planning it finally happened! My good buddy Tyler and I headed to Cameroon in April to hunt with Mayo Oldiri Safaris with Ph's Dan Moore and Dustin Van Staden. This was one of my toughest hunts I’ve done more from a mental stand point than a physical but I will say now that I’ve lost 28 pounds since this hunt when I go do it again I will enjoy it much more.

We experienced so much on this hunt from snakes to dwarf crocodiles.

Its a must see!

I hope you all enjoy it.

Really great video. I’ve watched before. The scene with the python is most impressive to me.
That was a wild experience for sure thanks for watching!
 
Fun to have that kind of adventure recorded. Monster bongo, congratulations, well done
 
Amazing hunt. I think a bongo is on most everyone’s list, maybe not attainable
 
Congrats and thanks for sharing!

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 239 565-8988. 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.
