Thanks.

Congratulations, looks like you had success. I was Phillips first client to hunt from the new lodge. I’ll get a report out soon also.

Give Phillip a shout at Khomas Highland Safari. He is a sponsor here and offers a great hunt. Good luck.

Where could I get some 458 cal 300 grain SS bullets? Thanks

What is the cost to add hippo or Cape buffalo?

Welcome!

Thank you.

What size elephant should be expected and are they exported to the USA?

Give Phillip at @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS a call. He has some good hyena hunting.

My son and I have settled on a light weight 375 h&h bolt action (8lbs total) and a 458 win mag DR (9lbs total) as the hunt everything rifles for us.

Perfect inspiration for the day. My daughter and lifelong hunting buddy plans to take her daughter with us to Africa next summer. Planning a 1 year birthday party in Namibia.

I have made some great memories hunting in Wyoming over the last 40 years. I’m one of those nonresidents that is getting snubbed. I only hunt non guided and in the national forest. 40% of the elk tags given to non residents cost $2000 plus $50 per preference point. And the non resident allotment...

I flew with them last month. No fees charged.

Welcome!

338 win mag and pick your bullet for what you plan to hunt. 160 grain Barnes work well and recoil is light for deer etc, then heavy bullets for the big bear.

Could you tell any accuracy difference between before and after the magnaport?

Nice offer. Did you get a Krieghoff Tech or another model?

The 375 H&H is more versatile than the 458 win. I have both and love both. The 375 is used in a lot more parts of the world than just Africa.

I was in a hurry mode about six weeks ago. I finally got my 458 win double rifle back from the gunsmith getting scope mounts installed. So I grabbed some 325 grain FTX off the shelf and loaded them while waiting for Barnes to arrive from midway. They shot great so I called my pH and ask his...

Thanks

How many pounds do you think the elephant pictured is?

I use clear plastic ammo boxes.

Federal tipped bonded.

We have. Oryx in New Mexico.

My PH’s rental guns come with Federal 270 grain soft points for plains game. They must work well.

He is alive!

I was at Phillip’s place.

I always fly on reward points and always take my guns.

Thanks!

Has anyone loaded their 458 win mag with 250 grain hornady Monoflex bullets using H4895. I’m looking for the max load, but will load down from there to get a load that is light enough for my daughter to shoot. Thanks

I have been considering buffalo. What is considered a management buffalo? I’m assuming these are free range.

Our PH’s wear a mixture of solid colors and camo in Namibia.

The first year is free and comes with a 70,000 mile bonus plus the person referring you gets 10,000. My wife and I refer each other. So then it’s 80,000 miles after spending $3,000 in 6 months. The bonus varies. So with only approximately $10,000 in spend on 2 or 3 cards you can accumulate...

It’s the only way to go. You can get 2.5 card bonus per year on personal cards plus the business cards if you own a business. So if you’re not charging $200,000 or more your better off taking the free flights. When discussing dates i tell my ph it’s totally dependent on free flights. Flights are...

Some of Namibia is doing okay. Green meadow grass chest high in parts of the Khomas Highlands earlier in the month.

There was a crew shift in Rome on our flight.

I flew this same route last week. Customs really don’t like it when you pick up your luggage and take it to them while you wait for the guns. They had a supervisor take with me about it. Lol. Who were you hunting with?

300 win mag. Ammo everywhere in the world.

I just returned from Namibia and they would not take usd older than 2013.

I chose the 338 federal in a Ruger Hawkeye for my daughter. A little more punch than the 308 and good ammo available.

How is the shipping cost? I’m hearing it’s a bit of a roller coaster.

I made this choice and choose the 375 Ruger for the down range performance with a huge selection of bullet weights and styles.

I will stick with my 458 win mag. It’s in a o/u double. I shot a kudu at 111 yards and a wart hog at 249 yards last week using 350 grain TSX. These shoot the same point of impact as my 480 grain DGX.

Been there done that. Takes too long in the real hunting world. Know you bullet trajectory and just hunt. From my experience all the additional stuff is fun at the range and for day dreaming. When the hunt comes most if not all goes out the window.

May God bless you and keep you from harm.

I have flown Windhoek- Johannesburg - Dulles and had my guns and bags checked all the way through. You do have to get approval a head of time to take firearms on Airlink. Gravy’s Travel handled that for me.

I just returned yesterday from Namibia using Ethiopian Air through ADD. Layovers are tight both directions (approximately 1.5 hours). It’s a rat race, but after sitting for 14 hours who cares. Us and all our luggage made it both directions. I would offer two tips - sit as close to the front of...

I’m flying Ethiopian Airlines from Washington Dulles to Windhoek. 20 hrs over 24 hrs back.

I have been using United and/or Ethiopian Airlines. No complaints yet, but I’m not picky. Really just thankful I can go 8000 miles in a day. When on Ethiopian I try to get the row just behind first class. It’s row 11 or 12. After watching a couple movies I prop my feet up on my back pack and get...

Thanks for the information!
