It's wheels up for us one month from today. I'll be hunting with Pawprint Safaris. The time seemed to drag when we first started planning, but the past few months have flown by. I think we are ready. I have test packed, re-packed, re-arranged, added items, subtracted items, and pretty much ended up with the original packing list that I put together based on feedback from here. Can't wait!

Keep a daily journal and take lots and lots of pics of everything, not just trophies, so you can write a well-illustrated hunt report for those of waiting for our next trip over...

Pretty sure I'm not the only one to envy you right now. Good Hunting.
Same as Clayton...I'm envious of you. I've only been once and cannot wait to get the funds together to return!
Enjoy every moment and please remember to try to share all you can with us!

Have a great time but don't be surprised if you don't use half the stuff you packed.

@Catahoula you are about to have the time of your life. Pieter and team will take great care of you. What did you finally decide on for your trophy list?
I've booked a buffalo cow hunt. I'm still leaving options open on plains game, with blesbok, warthog, wildebeest, and zebra high on the list.

There's no warning label that comes with a Safari but Africa can be highly addictive! You've been warned.
Well said, very true!
Thanks! We are looking forward to meeting you as well. We've heard nothing but good things about Pawprint and you have been a great help with information and preparation!

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
