Was planning on skipping this year but out of the blue my son ask me if I was going back this year. I was on the fence about going back but after getting a wake up call that I did not enjoy. I realized that there is no better time then as soon as you can go to go back. Lucky my son was ok and not hurt at all but it made me realize don't wait if you can do something now. Here is the picture of what made me decide to do this year . He slide on some black ice and went end over end and back on all 4's.
So we talk about it and make some plans and he is in for this years trip. Lets just say happy dad for sure. He did not go with last trip and though I had fun it was just not the same. Well my sons decide to add a surprise and asks me a question I know maybe what is coming but was not 100% sure. I get a call and he tells me his girlfriend has something to ask me. Well I knew what was coming at this point.
When I said yes no problem she can come with. I think they may have both been shocked. I was just happy to see she was supporting my sons hobbies and wanted to be part of it all. So tonight I get the ok from her parents and we are a go for sure. So now we wait for her passport and then I will being calling lori at travel express to get tickets for june 21 or 22 till july 7 or 8 it looks like.
So the plan is 10 days in Namibia with 8 of those days hunting for 1each of these mtn zebra,oryx,springbuck for my son and I plus maybe kudu and eland if we see the right ones. One of us will hunt kudu and the other eland based on what we each see. We will be hunting with Pieter delport with bows and rifles. He is not to far from the airport and the drought has not hit his area as hard as some other areas. So with some hard hunting we should still be able to have a great hunt in Namibia. He has been on my list since I thought about hunting Namibia 5 years ago.
Then we will be off to Pieter and Paw Print safaris again for 7 days to hunt also. Son wants a nyala with his bow and who knows what else. I hope to get the kilspringer I missed this year and a bushbuck and if it works out a bushpig. Going to do some touring also for his girlfriend to see Africa, She wants to see and feed some elephants and we may surprise her with the elephant back safari as elephants are here favorite animal. Plus even though she has never hunted she has said she maybe up for trying to hunt something ugly. LOL so maybe we will have her hunting a blesbuck or warthog. We will be teaching her how to shot and she if she is able to come hunt time.
