From Ohio, on wheels!

[Pathfinder19]

Greetings from Ohio. My love for Africa truly began when I was awarded the Safari Club International Pathfinder award in 2019, and subsequently hunted with Oelofse Hunting Safaris in late 2021.

I use a wheelchair full-time, and was most apprehensive but now I’m hooked and sure hope to return some day.

Welcome from rural Idaho. Congratulations on going on a hunt and becoming addicted to Africa like everyone else here. My Dad spent his last years in a wheel chair after having both legs amputated due to Sugar Diabetes...But, like you, he never let that stop him. He didn't make it to Africa but he still hunted around our home where I grew up in Western Pennsylvania. Luckily, I have four brothers who who helped him out a bit. Anyway, congrats on a first great trip and have fun planning your next one. Sue Tidwell

Welcome to AH. It would be great to see a report. I’m glad they made it a successful safari for you. My first safari when I was 13 was with Jan oelofse hunting safaris. Couldn’t have picked a better hunt at the time. 80k acre main property with elephants and rhinos. I always read their newsletters on their website but you hear very little of them on here. The same PHs are still there from 20 years ago that I hunted with, but they look a lot older now.

Welcome aboard Pathfinder19. I too use "wheels" to get around especially for distances over a hundred yards. My condition is deteriorating but it doesn't totally preclude me from hunting. If you talk to your outfitter ahead of time and be honest with him, I'm sure that "he" will be more than happy to accommodate your physical challenges. BTW this assumes you are already planning a return trip. You are, aren't you??

Welcome from southwest Ohio, congrats on having your first hunt in Africa! I hope you have a second in the works.
