Congrats on an amazing trip and admit always exciting to hear glowing reports such a short time before heading that way. Taking my 13yo daughter, with grandad also in tow, on her first safari with Africa Maximum Safari this month. We depart for JNB on the 13th. Thank you for sharing. Will

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

Thank you for the heads up, I will. Did you book the trip through Alaska Air as well? When are you traveling out? We leave middle of the month.

I just laid plans to hunt with Cabassa after buying a hunt at the Wild Sheep banquet, for hyena and buffalo. Was leaning towards 2025, but 2026 is sounding better to the misses. They are further to the west by solid bit, so I'm still excited to go. If the misses and I weren't also going to...

Well HELL, it what I thought when I first read this...as I am in almost the same boat. I am flying Qatar to Johannesburg in mid-May. Their website says to call 96 hours ahead of departure to get pre-auth for firearms or dangerous items. So seeing this thread and feeling dread, I called them...

Taking my daughter to SA mid-May for her first safari. I have a shot placement field book, but looking for recommendations for books that might catch her interest quickly or shorter reads or from a female point of view. Cheers, Will

Gents, thank you all for the information so far. I reached out to Spear and will to the others mentioned. Someone asked budget, I have not set one, other than I know I am not looking to do the full bag with cats, elephant, etc. I had planned to take a stone sheep hunt by last year, but after...

Any of you gents have 1st hand recommendations for outfitters in Tanzania for plains game? Tried searching here and even more broadly through google with far less results than expected. Found some wonderful options for dream hunts with full/full-mixed bag to include lion and...

2nd from the left for me. Hate looking at these though, I really loved the deep reddish hues of my Rigby BGR until I see figure like these.

Same as many above, I have QD mounts on my Rigby and remove the scope all the time, even during range sessions shooting scoped and iron sights. For travel, I just put the rings and Swaro in my pack in the cabin. One less thing for baggage handlers to try and tear up. Nice peace of mind too.

Few shots out the sunroom over the lake past few months.

Finalizing airfare for an upcoming trip to South Africa with my 13yo daughter. If we finish things early, and want to use our time abroad, was toying with the idea of staying over a night or two somewhere on our return...but will of course have two firearms with us. With that, leaning away...

Another praise for Crispi Boots. I’ve had and have several pair in few models and use for almost all hunting, hiking activities. Simply love them.
