Hello everyone! I'm in the process of planning my hunt for next May in South Africa. I won a package deal hunt in an auction at a benefit dinner for the California deer association. It's a 7 night, 6 day hunt with Wesco Safaris(Jaco Wessels is the PH) and we are going to be based out of the Hesuta lodge near Douglas. I've watched a bunch of videos on YouTube about how to prep and pack for a hunt, and this forum has been really helpful as well. At the moment I'm working on securing my flights to and from SA. I'm leaning towards using Delta for most of the trip, and then I'll have to transfer to another airline for the flight from Johannesburg to Kimberley. I'll be traveling with my brother, and my wife, as well as our twin boys who won't quite be 2 years old when we travel(if they didn't go my wife was going to not go either). Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated with regards to travel, and if we should try and limit our luggage to carryon only, or if checking a bag would be ok. I've seen from a few folks that bags can get delayed if they are checked.
Thanks in advance for any tips and advice! Can't wait to share the experience with all the fine folks on this forum!
