First South African Safari completed
« on: August 21, 2018, 07:42:01 PM »
My wife and I just returned from our first South African safari. We were hosted by iliwa Safaris on their 22000 Acre Farm. I was able to harvest 7 animals after changing my list of 4. I deleted the gemsbuck and added bushpig,2 impala and 2 springbuck for less money. So my harvest was bushpig,kudu,warthog, 2 impala and 2 springbuck.

Very nice trophies. My wife and I went to South Africa two years ago and had a great time. It was suppose to be once in a lifetime when we went. We were there about two hours and were already planning our next trip. We made great friends while there and got some very nice trophies. Looks like you were in a game rich environment.

Congrats, glad you had an awesome trip, that first impala looks like a real dandy too!  Awesome memories made over there for sure, did the Africa bug bite you guys while you were over there?

It looks pretty bad...  hopefully they come to their senses.

Cape Town realy is something.  Like San Francisco only cleaner.  I did the shark cage trip when I was there.  It was great!
