@Jeff505 and I are at Lambert International Airport awaiting our flight to Joburg via Newark. The journey has begun! We’ll be hunting Kwalata Safaris new Waterberg area. I’ll be posting as we go. Cheers!

I didn't know you were from Saint Louis! We should grab a drink, or go the range sometime

Have a great hunt and adventure.

We have arrived in Newark and are now day drinking in the Polaris lounge! The United app says my bag and rolling duffle we’re loaded before we took off. So far so good.

Good luck!

We rolled the dice and bought tickets on United Airlines. Well aware of their customer service issues, we went with their business class service based on price. Round trip from St. Louis was $4,300. More than three grand less than the next lowest option, which was Emirates. I‘ll withhold judgement until we get back, but so far, so good. Check in was a breeze. Luggage made it from St. Louis to Newark. The plane is here and we board in 45 minutes. The Polaris lounge is crowded but very nice. About on par with Emirates business class lounge in Dubai. Hope I don’t jinx it.

You will be in the air now heading into Jhb, a bit chilly here, you will need your coat.

Wow…I have found any time you can get business class less than $5,000 well worth it. That is the cut off point for me at least

I am on my way to meet the guys for a night around the fire, as excited about that as for a hunt itself.
