Before I go on with the hunting, I am going to make a side-note on the rifles I brought: Dakota 375 H&H with 300 grain swift a-frames and a Christensen Arms Mesa with 185 grain Berger Classic Hunters. In theory I didn't need to bring anything but the 300. However, (1) I have a hunt booked for...

Great hunt! Hope you have a great time in Zambia too!

So there you go... I got on the Africa Hunting forum about a year ago and started getting edu-ma-cated as best I could. Many people on this forum contributed to the success of this hunt by proving information to help me hone the right skills, get the right gear, and go in with the right...

Other info: I couldn't have asked for a better first experience hugging in Africa. Philip and his whole team made the visit fun and productive. In addition to great hunting, I enjoyed meeting Philip and his family. The Kiwis were a hoot and it was nice to have a few days that were very social...

Hunting day 10: Often the funniest things on a hunt are not related to hunting. Like when the driver dumps the whole front end of the truck in an aardvark hole. During the extraction, the German intern (yep, our good friend Von Julio), accidentally flings the driver's smart phone into a really...

Hunting day 7: Red lechwe was another animal not on my list that we spent some time looking for. There are not many around, but Philip knew of one ram...or so he says. :) Also spent some time looking for the impala; we saw him but he saw us too. Spent the afternoon looking for eland or...

Hunting day 6: About 10 minutes into the morning hunt we spotted a nice steenbok and I dropped him from the truck with the 300. (I had switched back to the lighter rifle since I knew we were after steinbok and baboons and I wanted to observe my limited supply of 375 ammo.) Spent the afternoon...

Hunting day 5: We go out for impala. This one is not actually on my package list, but Philip says he thinks he knows where there is a nice ram, so we go take a look. We are driving down the bottom of a drainage and see him staring at us on the skyline of the ridge. Hendrick, Isaac and I hop...

Hunting day 4: We are quickly going through my list of animals and are getting to the point that we are targeting specific species rather than taking the 'see what we find' approach. This day is for black wildebeest. Isaac joins us and in the afternoon we locate a nice herd with a big bull in...

Hunting day 3: I've had it with the 300 and switch to the Dakota. We head back out after the blue wildebeest. We locate the heard, follow them a little, and Hendrick sees the bull bedded between a couple trees. We stalk in and finish him off. He's a nice bull and I am glad we found him...

Hunting day 2: Adab joined us in the morning and we set off at the regular time. I took the 300 again. Came upon a nice gemsbok early in the morning. Great stalk and put him down from about 200 yards. Since it was still early, we continued on to see what we would find. Lo and behold, we...

Arrival day, evening: I arrived a little before dinner time, but too late to hunt that day, so had some nice time to settle in before the Kiwis rolled back into camp. Had a great dinner. Afterwards, we took Mad Max (the Kiwis' name for philips beat-around cruiser) and went chasing spring...

Returned a couple days ago from hunting with Philip Hennings at Khomas Highlands Hunting Safaris in Namibia. Awesome trip. Philip and his grew did a great job. Hunt report as follows.... Dates: 11 days, 25 Aug - 4 Sep 2019 Package: Namibia Top Ten My KH team: Every day I had Hendrick as...

John - Sorry to hear about Chopper.

Great trip report! Glad you had a successful hunt. Very well done.

Less days to departure than I have fingers and toes! That means I can start my countdown! Still shooting. Still hiking. Still going to gym. Starting to load the final rounds for hunting. Doing the clothing permethrin spray next week and then I can start actually packing!

Me too! I'll be there in three weeks, right before SheHunter.

You buy a 'sound spa' so that you can fall asleep to "Sounds of the Tanzanian bush"

Very, very nice!

Sweeeeeeeet!

10. You did a satirical rendition of USFWS import permit rules last time you went to improv night 9. You have your taxidermist on #1 in your speed dial 8. Your favorite meal is kudu schnitzel 7. You make automated payments for upcoming hunts but not to your 401k 6. You think 'getting a...

Great report. Thanks!

Thanks for writing up your hunt. Sounds like a great time and you sure got some nice animals!

Thanks @Desert Dog . Will try 4895 for sure

Looks like a wonderful trip!

Very cool

Thanks for thus guidance gents. I'll take a little bit of USD and mostly Rand. Cheers.

I'm a few weeks out from Namibia and trying to get final items in order. One of the last is how much foreign currency to take. Not planning on going shopping Hunt is fully paid unless I take extra animals, in which case I should be able to do Bank transfer Was planning on tipping in US...

Thanks for the replies guys! I have both varget and h4895 on the shelf, so I'll start with those.

Just received a new 416 rem from AHR. Planning to run 400 gr Barnes TSX and Solids, though I also have some 400 gr A-frames to try out. Any recommendations on powders that do well in 416s? I played pick-a-powder from the Barnes data today and barring any other suggestions I may just try...

Very nice!

Well done! Sounds like a super hunt! Beautiful animals!
