In 12 days I will be boarding a plane for south Africa heading to my first safari. I think I finally have things in order and just have to pack a couple times to make sure I am good to go. I will be hunting Gemsbuck,Kudu,Impala and Warthog with my .300 win mag.

What an awesome-sounding trip! Have a fantastic safari. Keep your situational awareness at all times. Don't pet the snakes.

You'll be ruined for life after this trip, just saying.

I'm sure it will be an absolutely amazing experience over there, I'm so glad I went and cant wait to see some pics and hear some stories when you get back.

Not sure I can make it through work today as I am just over 24 hrs before I board for my Trip.

Good luck. I'm looking forward to hearing how your trip goes.

My wife has been bugging me to vacation in South Africa (she has friends living there), but I told her I'll only go if I can add a hunting trip to the vacation as well. So have been researching hunting in South Africa. Please post how your trip went when you get back.

I'm jealous, enjoy every minute it goes by sooooooooooo fast!

Good luck, you're going to have the trip of a lifetime. However, take some extra cash, unless you're very disciplined you may exceed your goal of four critters. I had planned on four animals as well ....... somehow there were 9 at the taxidermist's when it was over.

I will be disciplined as I am already running short on mount space before this trip.

That being said I was very disciplined but I wish I had shot a warthog.

Looking forward to your story upon return!

I fear South Africa may be going the way of Zimbabwe politically. Get your hunts in while you can!
