WOW, what a trip, congratulations on 2 awesome bears!! Many years ago I did a boat trip for blacktail deer, it was a great experience! Your trip looks like something to consider!

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!

What I have been doing my past several hunts is open a new document in the 'Pages' app on my iPhone every time I take an African hunt. During the day I will take a few seconds to speak into my phone what has happened that day, then when I get home I log onto my laptop, clean up grammar, then...

Really looking forward to your report! Congratulations on being able to take this trip with your father! That’s a blessing unto itself!

Beautiful rifle, great caliber!! I’ve taken a lot of game with my Kimber Talkeetna which is also .375H&H!

7x57 will work splendidly!

Ship these my way, PM incoming!

Just completed a purchase from @Heavyload, everything went smoothly, great guy to deal with!

Hello, Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that. Thank you for your time, Andrew

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!

I have taken 4 elephant with a .375H&H, 2 of which were frontal brain shots. One of those was with 300 grain Barnes banded solid, dropped at the shot stone dead, the other frontal was with 300 grain Barnes TSX, yes, TSX. Hunted the Nyakasanga area in November 2009, guide said they had a...

At the end of the day if you have your medications, passport and a charge card/cash, you can sort it out once you're there should you forget something! Nothing more exciting than being able to go chase your dreams!! Enjoy, looking forward to your hunt report!

The title of your post had me thinking maybe you were talking about my girlfriend! roflmao

Appreciate this info Mark, very helpful for those of us going in the future!

I use Riflepermits, they make it pretty easy. They will send you an email with attachments of forms you print out, fill out, then send back to them. For the main SAPS form they will also include an 'example' of a filled out form, saves you a lot of hassle. I love my guns and I like to hunt...

While those will work, don't be shocked if your guide is wearing sandals, seriously, wear whatever you have that is comfortable. I personally wear Oboz brand boots from Sportsmans Warehouse.

Send that my way, PM being sent!

Would love to see some pictures!

I wish you the best of luck! Brandon is a quality person to hunt with!

Mark, what are you hunting with Tsala? I’ve hunted with Brandon 2x, that was on their SA property.

Did this gun sell?

My buddy was having several animals shipped home back in 2022, so I had my 3 little springboks put in his crate under his name. No need to complicate things.

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!

Welcome!! Glad to have you here with the rest of us! Any particular African animal you most want to hunt?

I used Barnes TSX on mine, but if I were ever to hunt another lion I would use either Northfork Percussion Point or Accubond.

I was just up to Big Bucks Sport shop in Wexford, I was not looking for a double so I don't know if they have any, but they do have some really nice guns there, perhaps they would be worth a phone call.

While you certainly took some awesome trophies on this hunt, without question, your greatest trophy is your wife, that's awesome!!

I'm sorry about your luggage drama, on 3 occasions my bags and or gun never made it home on the flight I was on, but it always came the next day. You should get yours tomorrow or the next day. I just had Hendershots load me some Northforks for both my .308 and .375H&H, I am anxious to give...

Wow, that sure was a ton of flooding, makes for a real challenge! You've taken some very nice trophies and those Northforks look like they performed flawlessly! I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to write these reports and post some pictures, brings back memories for all of us who...

That east cape kudu is a kudu of a lifetime!! Congratulations on taking some wonderful trophies, and thank you very much for taking the time to post a wonderful hunt report!! Are you getting any animals mounted in South Africa, if so, may I ask what taxidermist you are using?

That's a beauty!!! GLWS

If there is any way possible for me to wear shorts, I'm wearing shorts! When I was in Uganda I did wear long pants because the tsetse flies were especially bad! When I wear shorts I do apply some kind of tick lotion on my legs.

Welcome, glad to have you here!! Way back in 1990 I hunted a bison near Pierre, SD, it was on the ranch where they filmed Dances with Wolves. Any particular animal in Africa you most want to hunt?

I watch a ton of YouTube videos, about 2 years ago a lady shot a cape buffalo on the shoulder with this ammo, the buffalo ran off, they found it 3 or 5 days later and were able to kill it then. Upon inspection, the bullet simply disintegrated on impact and did not penetrate. I hear people have...

I personally love the dark colored wood stock, GLWS

Very nice package!! GLWS

Wow, that's a great looking case, rifles should stay nice and protected!

Safe travels, I hope you make some wonderful memories, takes lots of pictures!! Good luck buffalo hunting!!

Thank you for this, just last month I took my gun to the Wilmington NC border patrol office, on the form I listed my rifle, scope and suppressor, they didn’t say anything about not being able to do that. I was planning on taking my suppressor to SA for my hunt in August, doesn’t appear it’s as...

I absolutely love the fact that you placed your elephant tusk on your desk, what a great way to keep your hunt right in front of you each and every day!! Wonderful idea!!

As @JimP said, take whichever fits you best, camo is no issue in SA!!

Reading your post brings back wonderful memories for all of us who have previously hunted with Wik, that's one great operation!! Congratulations on a really nice nyala, I love the width on yours! I can't wait to read more about your hunt!!!

You think you have it bad, I have to sneak up on a mirror to comb my hair!!

Buffalo hunting in wild Africa is next level! Being on the tracks of a buffalo and crossing paths with a herd of elephant is something you just have to experience to fully understand. Once in awhile there are some pretty nice offers made here for buffalo in wild areas. Whatever it is you...

What a wonderful outfit to hunt with, looking forward to more of your hunt report!!

Kimber Talkeetna .375H&H, barrel cut down from 24” to 20”, stock cerakoted to look like an antique wood gun. This rifle has served me well on many trips to Africa!

Noah, you’ve taken some wonderful trophies, congratulations! Your impala has nice mass, warthog is a brut, the caramel color in your zebra looks great, and the dark color of your giraffe is awesome! Job well done!

I’d go back to Cameron and hunt for LDE again, hopefully, get one this time!
