First I wanted to thank everyone one on this site for all the help. I have learned more than I ever imagined from yalls experience.

I graduated college this past Friday and will be going to Namibia with my father, brother in law, and my old pledge brother to celebrate. I am lucky to have a family that supports my dream of always wanting to hunt Africa.

Philips operation at @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS seemed to be just what I was looking for - As hunting big low fence cattle ranches in South/West Texas is what I do.

We will be flying to Dallas from San Antonio and then jumping on a long Qatar flight to Doha tomorrow at 11:50pm or so. Thanks to Jennifer @TRAVEL EXPRESS for all the help.

Kudu and mountain zebra are all I can think about. I am brining my Ruger #1 in 30-06 and I am confident with this rifle. CDS dial is true and might be helpful up in the Namib Highlands.

Not sure if I will wait to get back and then post more, but I may just have to share some pictures while I’m in Namib! Stay tuned!

Hello dchum,

Congratulations on your graduation from college.

I bid you safe and happy travels plus, safe and happy hunting.

Your choice of rifle and caliber are both excellent.

I look forward to your hunt report and pictures.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
Looking forward to the report as this place has been on my Top 5 for awhile.
 
Looking forward to the full report @dchum !! Safe travels friends.
 
What an awesome celebration for graduating college. Best of luck on your trip and definitely post a hunt report.
 
Enjoy your safari!
 
Viva amigo
can’t wait for the full report and LDP’s

feliz Caza
 
Congrats on the graduation. What a feeling that alone is. Best of luck with your future plans. As for the hunt - best of luck and have safe travels. Look forward to hearing all about it at a later date.
 
Your a lucky man! I’d go back and hunt with Phillip every year if I had time. Amazing country and wildlife. Hennings take care of their clients. That’s big boy country and will test your marksmanship. Zebra shoulders are like concrete. Kudu bulls can hide like you can’t imagine! Grub and facilities are perfect. Phil usually has one or two other groups in camp. Always an international experience there. I’ve hunted with Phil two hunts that equaled a whole month including leopard. Your about to have the time of your life...
 
Congrats and you are in good hands with Philip and company

Quite a few years ago my son and I took our first safari to Africa in Namibia in the same general area you will be hunting. Kudu and mountain zebra were also our primary targets. Can't wait to hear about your experience.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Frosty in Fort Worth
Getting some culling done!

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Kelly Palmer
Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
I am currently in Northern Cape scouting a hunting area, we will have lots of amazing hunting opportunities for 2027! I will post updated available dates soon!
