SOUTH AFRICA: Just Returned From First Trip With HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS

Congrats on a what looks like a great trip and wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing.
 
Congrats on your hunt !
 
I didn't think to mention it before.
But getting our rifles through customs in Atlanta took all of 15 minutes.
Mid week and only 2 people ahead of us.
Very smooth and easy even with the boot spray down.
 
I don't know how I missed this post.

Congrats Wade it looks like you had a great time, as was expected. As you found out Africa can grow on you.

You need to post up over on Eastman's, they love this stuff.

Thank you @JimP . I'll post it up over there in a couple of days.
You've been an inspiration and great help over the years in this hunt and others I've done.
 
I always forget details when I first post and can't edit so I'll randomly tack things on.
I used a Remington 700 in 7mm Remington magnum with barnes 160gr tsx .
6 shots 6 kills.
My son used a ruger left hand in 300 win Mag with barnes 165gt ttsx
 
Looks like you and your son had a great 1st safari. Now that you have been to the dark continent you will dream about going back until you do go back. Thanks for sharing.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
