That sounds interesting. Gonna need something suitable for a wildebeest and/or blesbok hunt as that is what we are most likely going to encounter. Would also love to see some African elephants while we are there, only ever seen them in captivity. It may sound hypocritical but I would never hunt an elephant. Wildebeest, springboks and blesboks on the other hand, I will gladly hunt
Definitely gonna have a look for some investments then, cheers buddy!

Welcome to the forum @elephantman.
The Eastern Cape is a fantastic place, but have to agree with the members here. A hunt in this part of the world around Christmas won't be much fun. You will be looking at temperatures between 100-113degF every day. Not that it cannot be done, but I have done these hunts, and the negatives far outweighs the positives. I feel it takes away a lot of the enjoyment when your binoculars melts to your chest.
If you are a bit flexible, the better weather starts anywhere from April - end July.
Someone mentioned cull hunts, and December will certainly not be the best time for this either. Most females will have very young lambs and calves hidden and lying around all over.
All the best with your planning. You have found a great source here on AH with everything you need tight at your fingertips.
Take Care,
Marius Goosen

Hello,
Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.
Thank you for your time,
Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
