Awhile back someone asked for a list of what gear and food went along on a safari of bygone days. I cant find the post now but ive found a book from around 1910 that lists everything they took along, what all the natives did that they hired and lots of other logistics that other authors omit...

I have been trying to wire money to an outfitter in Namibia and having problems. My Credit Union sent the money using Western Union but it came back as undeliverable. Windhoek bank said Western union does not work there and it needs to be done through a SWIFT transaction. My Credit Union doesn’t...

My wife and I will have a full day to explore Windhoek this coming summer and are looking for suggestions on what to see. Thanks

The recent thread about black panther in India got me wondering about black leopard in Africa. Does anyone have personal experience with black leopard in Africa? That would really be something to see. Black mountain lion in the US are so rare as to be practically nonexistent.

Would it be feasible or smart for a first time Africa hunter to rent a car to travel in Namibia? I’ve driven in lots of developed and undeveloped areas around the world. What do you think?

I did a search on here and info about this outfit is scarce. Has anyone hunted with them? Thanks, Dale

I was reading the thread about mambas and thought I’d share a simple method i found many years ago for catching snakes. I used to live in New Mexico and caught rattle snakes live to sell. I would find or dig a depression in the ground and cover with a 2’x2’ piece of scrap foam board. leave one...
