Greetings All,

I have been stalking around this page for a number of years now, and finally decided to join. There seems to be a wealth of knowledge, and wisdom on this page, and I am in need of both. It has taken a long time, but I am finally at a place in life where I can start planning my first trip to Africa.

I have been daydreaming about going to Africa for years, so I have a pretty solid idea what I would like to get out of my first trip, where I would like to go, what I would like to do, and what I would like to hunt. I know I would like to go to Namibia for my first safari, and I have a list of outfitters I am interested in, but am always open to suggestions.

I have to many questions to makes sense in one post, so I will leave that for another day. Thank you for allowing me to join this great page, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome to the posting side of the forums CM! You are quite lucky to live in a beautiful part of the country. I love the Black Hills and I have visited and hunted the area many times over the years. Please let us know if we can ever be of any assistance in your planning.
 
Welcome to AH CM McKenzie! Nice to have you on the posting side.
 
Welcome! Love that area of our country.
 
CM McKenzie, you got the itch, don't worry though, we'll help you scratch it. BTW welcome aboard. AH is an excellent place to spend those LO.....OG CO.....LD Dakota winter nights.
 
Welcome! I lived in Rapid City for two years... best 2 years of my life! [emoji2]
 
Welcome! I love the Black Hills, was staying in a lodge not far from Rapid City, touring with a Lakota guide. Was a couple of years back but I remember each and every day.
 
Welcome to AH!
 
Welcome! You have found a great place to hang out and ask questions. This is the best and most informative place I have ever found
 
Welcome! Your choice of Namibia for your first safari is an excellent one, although there are really no bad choices. I went to Namibia on my first safari and returned several years later for another. Bring a jacket, as it does get cold there.
