Well I figured I had best get started on this. Pictures will have to follow in a bit as I am writing this remotely from Southern NJ where I am currently working. First a quick summary, then later will get to some daily breakdown info. The planning on this trip started about 2 years back. I had...

Five days. It really doesn't seem too long when you look at it on the calendar. But this week is going to be some of the longest. On Saturday, my wife and I finally board a plane to head to South Africa with Symbol Safaris. I am beyond excited. The last 2 years have included working a second job...

Love this section of the website. Have been pouring over placement on Bushpig and some others. Was wondering if anyone had or could whip up a diagram on some of the species not on here (or could give some insight, as I still don't have a copy of The Perfect Shot) and or give some advice or...

So things are quickly coming to shape for my trip next year. Booked up with one of the sponsor outfitters here, booking airfare through Lori at Travel Express (hopefully today). My wife and I are shooting whenever we can, walking/hiking, and getting things lined up in general. We have a list of...

Good Afternoon All, Well it finally hit me the other day that I am less than a year out from my wife and I heading to the Eastern Cape. We have been slowly accumulating some new clothes, practicing our shooting (particularly off of sticks) and getting other travel arrangements in place. One...

As my safari planning rolls along for 2017, one option for a side trip really jumped out and grabbed me. The opportunity to go out and do some fishing really intrigues me. I am thinking bottom fishing, as I can catch Tuna and such off the Eastern US coast but don't have some of the wild looking...

So with my safari planning going from outfitter search to true preparation mode, one thing I did was read the tipping guide on here. It is quite helpful, but I did come up with something I wanted to pose on here. When picking little items to give to trackers, skinners, camp staff, etc , what...

I had tried searching earlier, but wanted to maybe hear directly, I am in the works of getting ready for my trip in 2017 to the eastern cape. One question I posed to myself is what do I want for trophies. For almost all the species I am looking at pursuing, a simple skull/euro mount will...

So in lining up details on going to Africa in 2017 I have been debating on the value of paying the difference in price for a common vs mountain reedbuck in the eastern cape. I am curious to ask you all who has hunted both , and if so which was a more enjoyable or memorable hunt? Any thoughts are...

Good Morning from Southeastern PA, USA. I have been on here for a bit now, but never got around to doing a formal greeting. I originally came on here as a silent guest to do some research on setting up a couples safari in 2017. The more I have looked around and posted, the more I can say this is...

Good Afternoon (at least here in cool and quickly turning fall colors PA, USA) everyone, I had started a thread in the deals section regarding a couples safari and got an astounding outpouring of support, quotes, etc. from a huge number of members. I am doing a bit of extra research , and...

Good Morning, My wife and I are looking into going on a couples safari in 2017. She is not the type that needs total pampering, just a shower and a bed. She wants to hunt, particularly for a Kudu (and possibly a warthog), along with other trophies as available. I am most interested in either a...
