Hi everyone. New member here. I've spent a lot of time on this website over the past few months and finally decided to join & make it official. Several family members & I have booked an 8-day plains game hunt with Huntershill Safaris for April 2022 and our excitement level is already through the roof. My hunting background is primarily in western big game (deer, elk, moose, bear), but this will be my first trip to Africa so I have a lot of questions. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you and joining in on the conversations when I can.

Thanks everyone! No question I've come to the right place for all things Africa.

Unfortunately no youngsters on this trip. Mine are still pretty young, so maybe next time. But my wife is coming as an observer and plans to do some hunting as well. Our wish list includes: kudu, impala, warthog, springbok slam, & fallow deer. Maybe a few others, if everything goes well.

My dad has been once before and is after cape buffalo this time. The rest of our group will be after plains game. One older brother has also been once before and will be trying to complete his spiral horn slam.

I'm planning to take my .300 WSM. And we're considering renting a .270 for my wife.

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...
