You'll need to talk to the wife on the kid issue... lOl
 
Hunting with Jaco Wentzel at Kirabo Safaris. Met him multiple times and has been very helpful in set up since I had to push back a few times with dates. One of his repeat clients has been helpful in info about travel and customs and my taxidermist here in NH was great so I feel somewhat prepared. I am used to roughing it hunting and have spent 25 years playing rugby so if the hunting was bad at least I can catch some rugby down there. I am pretty sure the bowhunting will outrival Iowa, Kansas, PA,, Texas and Sask Canada. My wife is worried about Ebola. What are the chances that an Ebola outbreak hits when I can go to Africa?
 
Welcome David I am going on my first in Aug as well, this forum has been ouystanding for help.
Good luck !!
 
I have learned more here than years of watching shows and asking questions. awesome knowledge base.
 
welcome to AH david, , glad your African adventure is planned , best of times there mate, guarrenteed.
assure the missus that there has been more ebola cases in America than there has in south Africa, so don't even stress it .
enjoy the wealth of knowledge that is stored in library here aswell as the member first hand accounts .

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
