Just found this forum few minutes ago. Wow...

Thinking re: trying an African Safari - probably for antelope (Kudu, Oryx, Wildebeest, Warthogs etc),
but also daydreaming re: cape buffalo. But buff sound very dangerous/expensive:(

Wondering what country to hone in on - political stability/safety, etc.

Leaning to South Africa - but not too sure about that.

My experience to date is shooting deers & wildbores on my farms...
I shoot 15 - 20 deer & wildbores/year &with 30-06, & some time with 12 bore..
 
Welcome!!!

Read, ask questions, and enjoy! :)
 
Welcome....

South Africa is a good start.....
 
Welcome to AH! Hope you will enjoy it here.

South Africa will be great to be a 'first' hunting experience!!

South Africa is a save country, that can many clients vouch for even on this forum!! All countries has their crimes, so , yes, i suppose...

Buff is dangerous but NOT necessary expensive. Why not try for a Buffalo Cow hunt? Cost is a third of the Buff bull price and just as excited...and still classed as n BIG5 HUNT!!

Your 30-06 will probably kill anything up to an Eland.
 
Good luck with your planning.

Welcome to AH.
 
welcome to AH ,enjoy the site .

Welcome to AH!
 
Thank you for your friendly gesture.
 
Welcome to AH Vivek!

Your 30-06 is about perfect for most antelopes in South Africa. You have the right grouping of animals for a first safari and by honing into South Africa cannot be a mistake. Other neighboring countries to (South Africa) is also moderately stable and can be considered for a hunt.

Be sure to ask around, and there is many great outfitters and professional hunters that would be able to entertain all your needs and requirements to fulfill the safari of a lifetime.

All the best with your planning :)
 
Welcome to AH, Vivek !

Welcome to AH, sir! I have no doubt that you have come to the right place to get your safari planning started.

Take Care,
Marius Goosen

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
