Headed to Namibia with @Jaques Spamer next month and as with all hunting trips the anticipation is mounting.

At first I thought Covid and the testing requirements were going to be the toughest hurdle associated with the trip. However as the weeks have passed since booking, the airlines have changed or canceled my fights 3 times. Of course Jennifer with @TRAVEL EXPRESS has worked it out each and every time. I’m certain if anything else changes she’ll handle it as well.

A few years back I shared a story here of a missed opportunity in Botswana. I really thought that after that encounter I would never get another opportunity like it again. Below are a couple of pics from my missed opportunity. They may give you and idea of what I’m after.

Have you got room in your luggage for another hunter. I'll pay the excess baggage.

Of course it’s a non exportable tag. Memories are what I’m after.
Exactly my opinion since I have no space for much of anything! Oh Am I envious! I can’t wait for your report and pics!
Have a grand time!
 
Looks like you are In Country. Way cool!

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
