Hello Sportman,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Welcome to AH! My one and only trout outside of the U.S. was on a dam near Nottingham Road if you've fished in that part of KZN.
 
Welcome expat. As someone who is considering retirement in RSA, I wonder if you would mind sharing a bit about your experiences as an expat in RSA?
 
Hello and welcome!
 
Thx Phil. Have not had the pleasure of fishing in KZN yet. I'm particularly drawn to the Drakensberg mountain highlands in the Eastern Cape for wild trout and yellow fish on the fly.

Hi Sportman, welcome to AH from a fellow South African in KZN. I have spent some time in the Eastern Cape and KZN Drakensburg (for work and not with my fly rod) but I know of a few rivers and areas that come highly recommended.

Welcome to AH
 
Sportman, welcome to the AH forum! I have been a flyfisherman for more than 60 years, fresh and saltwater, but sadly never in Africa. A tigerfish on a fly would be excellent sport!
 
Giday Sportman. Welcome to the A H forums.
 
Welcome to AH Sportman!
 
Welcome Sportman
I am from the Eastern Cape and have enjoyed many hours on our rivers & dams for trout & yellows.
The hunting is very good as well.
 
Welcome to AH !
 
Welcome to AH! Nice to have you on the site and we look forward to you sharing your stories!

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
