Mike from Lacona, Iowa. Just booked a Namibia safari with Ozondjahe; at age 67, I've dreamed of this for over 50 years! July 23 through August 4, 2022. My wife will join me. Our kids and grand kids in Florida and Alaska can't believe I've "pulled the trigger" on this dream. Gemsbock and Kudu, here we come!
 
Giday Mike and welcome to the A H forums. Congratulation of booking your first hunt.
 
Mike, welcome to the forum and of course…CONGRATULATIONS on going on you first Africa adventure! I’m certain it won’t be your last!

Good luck and God speed! Next time, pack me in a suit case and take me along!

Hello and welcome!
 
Good deal. I lived in Albia, Iowa for over 20 years. I miss those big bruiser Whitetails.

Welcome aboard Mike and good luck on your first and hopefully many more hunts in Africa.
Good that you are fulfilling a lifelong dream. I made my first one at age 66, going back for #8 next June. Africa is an addiction with no known cure.

Hello Mike,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

At age 68 now, I just returned from hunting (Khomas Hochland Wildlife Conservancy) and fishing (Atlantic Ocean) in Namibia.
You will have a wonderful experience in that special country.
If you have questions about what to expect, what shoes to wear, equipment in general, especially rifle, scope, caliber and specific bullet to use, etc., etc., many here, including myself, will be happy to try and answer your inquiries.

Best Regards,
Paul Ard

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
