I’m a little late getting to this. I took my first trip to South Africa this year after doing my research more than 15 years ago. We were with @HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS from July 7until the 19th. And I couldn’t recommend him enough and just started planning my next trip with him.

We flew from Atlanta non-stop to Johannesburg. We arrived late so we stayed at the Afton Safari Lodge the first night which I would also recommend.

He picked us up the following morning and we drove to the lodge with a few stops along the way. We shot a rifle when we arrived and all was good.

The next morning we started hunting, and what a time we had. Over the next several days we collected: blue wildebeest, 2x springbuck, blesbok, red hartebeest. Impala, black wildebeest, waterbuck, kudu and zebra. Then we capped the trip off with a trip to Pilanesburg park for some wildlife viewing.

Accommodations were great. Staff was wonderful and the meals were delicious and plentiful. I highly suggest anyone go with Henry for the first or 20th South African hunt.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
