My wife fell in love with Amarula Chocolates (truffles I think) while we were in Africa. We have found the Amarula Cream at a liquor store locally, but have not been able to find the chocolates anywhere. She has searched in vain for a mail order source. Does anyone know of a source of these...

On the second day of my hunt we were up early again, had breakfast, and headed out. Since I had gotten my kudu the day before, we were going to start hunting for a gemsbok. Once again we would also be looking for the other animals on my list. We headed to a different property and this one was...

Thanks yall! And I am HOOKED!! I want to return one day. There are a couple of trips I'll have to take my wife on before I can even talk about going again, but it's definitely something I want to do again.

You may consider taking a video camera as well. My wife used it to capture a couple of my shots. We also got quite a bit of video of the landscape and different animals. I plan on putting a video together, but that's a back burner project for now.

I hope you have a fantastic trip. I just returned from SA on the 5th and had the time of my life. You can't go wrong with the 30-06. A good scope and good bullets are important. I used a hand loaded TTSX bullet in my 338 Win Mag. I didn't "need" all the extra power, but it doesn't hurt and...

I took this 56" bull on the afternoon of June 23 on the first day of a 7 day hunt in Limpopo, South Africa. This was on my first trip to Africa. Talk about being blessed!!

For anyone interested I am back from my safari. It was INCREDIBLE!!! It took 6 animals and had a run in with a black mamba. My PH and I both had a hand is dispatching the mamba. It makes a good story now, but was pretty intense at the time. I posted a new thread under hunting reports. So far I...

I shot my gemsbok at about 100yds almost perfectly broadside. I was shooting a 338 Win. Mag. loaded with 225 Gr. Barnes TTSX bullets. My bullet struck right above the heart, taking out the large artery, both lungs, and exiting the off side. It ran over 200 yds thru the brush with blood...

On June 20th a friend of mine, his sons, my wife, and I headed toward South Africa to fulfill a life long dream. There were a couple of bumps in the road (flight delays) getting to Washington D.C., but we made our international flight and were on our way. The only thing I can say about the...

Thank yall for the quick replies and information. I would have screwed up royally.

Cliffy, You are saying not to use TSA locks on gun cases? I thought we were supposed to use those. I will be traveling on United from Midland, TX to Houston, TX to Washington Dulles. I will be flying on South African from Dulles to Johannesburg thru Dakar, Senegal. This is my first time...

lwaters - I was quail hunting south of Odessa about 10 years ago with my children (6 and 8 at the time) when I heard something walking nearby. I saw 2 big animals about 25 yds away that I didn't recognize. It turned out they were aoudads. From my description the ranch owner later told me they...

Thanks for the welcome everyone! I will be hunting with Africa Sport Hunting Safaris for plains game. I'm going to try and stretch my budget as much as possible and hope to take impala, warthog, blesbuck, bushbuck, and possibly zebra. I plan on using a 338 Win Mag with Barnes bullets for my...

Howdy everyone!! I should have introduced myself here first, but I jumped onto one of the sub forums first. I found this forum while searching for information on hunting in Africa (obviously). I will go going on my first safari in June or July of 2014 and plan on hunting plains game in...

Thanks for the welcome everyone!! On this first safari I will be targeting plains game. I am just planning this and working on a budget, but some of the animals I want to take are impala, warthog, blesbuck, bushbuck, and possibly zebra. I am planning on taking a 338 Win Mag using 225...

Thanks for the welcome guys. I have talked to the references and all seems ok, just thought I'd check here too. I am excited beyond words!!

I will be going to Africa for the first time in June or July 2014. I will be hunting in the Limpopo area of South Africa. My outfitter is Africa Sport Hunting Safaris. I was wondering if anyone has hunted with them before. Thanks!
