Nine Days and counting for trip number five with Gerrit and crew @Bos en Dal SAFARIS.
I had no plans for a safari this year after all the medical issues last year. But feeling better than ever now. ( Thanks to all the support from all the AH crew last year).
I am down 69 pounds and feeling great.

This trip came about because I have a customer/ friend that has never been to Africa and wanted to go. So I coordinated this all for him and we will be off on April 10 for 14 day Safari. Flying Qatar Business.

I am taking it easy this trip. Primary is Bushbuck and some culling. Will also hunt a Buff Cow to get my DG fix in. Taking the CZ 458Lott with 500gr Aframes and a Christensen Ridgeline 6.5PRC with 156 Berger Elite Hunters. Will be tagging along on some of friends hunts.

He has a pretty good list including Buff Bull,Sable, Nyala, Kudu and others. Will make for an interesting trip and breaking him in on Africa.

Wheels up in 9 days!!

Sounds like an awesome safari y’all have planned. Glad your medical issues have improved and you’re able to go back o Africa, I’m sure your buddy will be glad to have an experienced hunter with him with multiple safaris under your belt. Looking forward to the hunt report.
 
Good luck! Glad you are feeling so much better! Can’t wait to see your report.
 
Very nice and kudos on the weight loss. I can say from personal experience, those Bergers in the 6.5 PRC are fantastic.
 
That is awesome that you are able to head out again, looking forward to your hunt report, sounds like a good stop and smell the roses kinda trip for you.
 
Excited to hear about you heading back over. Good luck, shoot straight, and kill something not on your list you need some redemption for last year

Hi Mark! Nothing brings on a feeling of wellness like an African safari! I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself. Good luck!
