South Africa countdown!!
« on: July 23, 2018, 09:35:50 AM »
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.  :tup:

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.

You will come back with a wonderful set of memories. South Africa is a special place.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

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.

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.
Disappointments are inevitable, misery is optional.
