Hello from TX

Welcome to AH Rhoyland4!
 
Welcome to AH, fellow Texan! I know Boerne well. You'll find tons of info here and lots of great people to answer questions and provide inspiration.

If you'd like to meet in person with a number of African outfitters / ranch owners to ask questions and potentially plan a trip, I recommend that you attend the Texas Trophy Hunters Association Hunter's Extravaganza show in San Antonio August 15-17, 2025. There are usually 10-15 African outfits at those August shows, and that's how I researched and booked my first safari (though it was at the DFW show). Shows like that are one of the few opportunities we have to engage face-to-face with the people you could be hunting with in Africa, plus you might meet some of their clients, too, and hear about their experiences.

Planning a safari is a journey in and of itself, so enjoy it!
 
Welcome to AH! We look forward to you sharing your stories!
 
Thanks everyone for the welcomes! I will start posting some questions soon. I am trying to research and not ask questions that have already been answered.
 
Africa has been in the back of my mind for years, but now I am making it a priority! I am just starting to look at a trip for 2027 for myself and my daughter who will be 17 then. I will be asking lots of questions on different forums soon. Thanks in advance for the wealth of knowledge in this group!

Welcome fellow Texan.
I grew up in Boerne/Fair Oaks area as well.
You are in the right place and on the right track!

Welcome to the forum
 
Welcome aboard. How's your planning coming along?

I am a fellow Texan as well and happy to chat if you haven't picked a destination yet. I have taken my kids all over Africa and can say it's hard to go wrong no matter what you choose to do.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
