After years of wanting to hunt Africa, but having life get in the way, I finally signed the contract and today sent the deposit. Thanks to my long-suffering and loving wife who finally pushed me to go I will be in South Africa in September of 2026! Now the fun of getting everything done, checked, and ready starts.
 
You won't regret it. I understand having the bug bite you a little later in life. Enjoy this trip to the utmost. Parts of it will go fast. Take your time and find a moment now and again to catch a deep breath and soak it in. I only had a couple of regrets from my only trip so far and one was that I was so focused on my "list" that I didn't take more time to enjoy the journey. So I'm going to Zim in 26 to try to fix my mistakes.
 
Congratulations :D Beers:

Enjoy the prep! Then prepare to be bit by the African Bug that will leave you yearning to return....
 
I meant to add in my earlier post one thing that I definitely recommend. Try to find a few minutes each evening to document that day’s activities in detail, like a journal. After the trip a lot of those details will be lost as the days and other memories merge together. I did that because I didn’t want to forget anything about my trip. I regularly go back and review my notes and really enjoy them. The rest of my group didn’t do that I think they regret it.
 
Looking forward to it

I have already been planning on that. My memory of 1863 is better than my memory of 2024!
 
Enjoy the planning leading up to your trip and enjoy every second in Africa.
 
Good for you! Planning is a big part of the fun. Enjoy!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
