I'll be headed that way in the spring and would love to read a good book or two about the country, history, bushman or anything else that may be of interest. Doesn't have to be hunted related but it could.

For history and hunting of the late 1800's first I'd suggest a Hunter's Wanderings in Africa by Frederick Courteney Selous. Relatively easy to find.
I stumbled on a reprint of A Breath From the Veldt by John Guille Millais that was also great narrative along those lines. That one is probably tougher to find. The drawings he did are amazing.

Regarding the history, dont forget to read something about Zulu wars, and Boer wars. Not related to hunting, but part of south african culture and heritage for certain.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
