Day 7 of 7 Airport Day

Day 6 of 7 We went to a new ranch called the River Lodge which is connected to the Rocky Mountain ranch. Had a great day looking forward big Kudu or Oryx. Put the stalk on a few Oryx but did not shoot because they were only meat bulls and not trophy bulls. Did not see any Kudu bulls, just Kudu...

Day 5 of 7 (afternoon) Bird hunting excursion. When planning this hunt I was hoping that I would finish up the package early enough to get to do a bird hunting excursion. So with the package fulfilled this morning I planned an afternoon bird hunt for Guinea fowl, Francolin, and geese. I had an...

Thanks Para45. I wasn’t planning on keeping any of the trophies but now I am considering tanning and shipping one of the Zebra skins. I’m not going to go to the coast for fishing because fishing is not my thing. The hunting could not have been better. I’m loving it.

Day 5 of 7 (5 hunting days 2 travel days) Another cold morning. Another bacon, green pepper and cheese omelette. Started out at 8am. The cruiser didn’t have to be deiced since it was parked in the garage. On the agenda was finishing out the 5 management animal package with a meat Oryx/Gemsbok...

Day 4 continued… Day 4 was relatively uneventful. The cold weather really slowed the pace down. There was an icy start to the day. In the morning we hunted Zone 6&7. In the afternoon we hunted Zone 8. It was fun seeing new country. We were after Oryx/Gemsbok. In the morning we saw Oryx 5-6 times...

It’s a very cold morning this morning. Thankfully the chalet has both air conditioning and heat. Ice in the fountain. Weather forecast.

Day 4 No hunting yesterday afternoon just a celebration and sharing my hunting stories with the guys. Today is a late start kind of day. Going out at 8am. I have 3 more hunting days an only one more animal to harvest from the package. But I suppose that is what happens when you shoot two animals...

The 2nd Hartmann Zebra The shot hit low right behind the shoulder. I think the 90 degree wind pushed the bullet back a little bit and I should have aimed higher up on the shoulder, alls well that ends well I like to say. Better lucky than good sometimes. Upon inspection the bottom of the heart...

Hartmanns Zebra Pictures My 1st Hartmanns Zebra

Day 3 Hartmanns Zebra. Hey what a day. I could not have planned it any better. We drove back down to the “Rocky Mountain” ranch. It was a beautiful morning with a clear sky and the sun rising over the hills. We had discussed strategy the evening before and decided that when Zebra were spotted we...

Day 3 It is just about time to go out hunting at 7am I am eating a bacon, green pepper and cheese omelette in the lodge. Very good. Excellent service and accommodation. Accommodations are very good. I’m hoping my next post is a picture of a Hartmans Zebra

I arrived at Khomas Highland a couple days ago and I met Juan and Retief at the airport. I met Hendrick who is my PH and Erick the driver at camp. I told them Hoytcannon and Velodog said “hi.” I met Philip yesterday and told him that Hoytcannon and Velodog said “hi” as well. I’m keeping a...

Day 2 I shot two Oryx/Gemsbok today. The first was shot on the farm called “Rocky Mountain,” which lives up to its namesake. We were after a female or young stallion Hartmans Zebra. We saw several herds of between 5 and 12 Zebra but could not get close enough to them for a shot. They were very...

Day one @KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS Arrived in the afternoon. Checked the zero on the rifle at 100 meters. Dialed to hit high at 100 in order to be zeroed at 200 meters. Then went to look around. Saw a large warthog, but since I’ve already shot a warthog before, didn’t want to shoot...

Will do. I can hardly wait to go hunt. Coincidentally, I am Paul as well.

Will do

hoytcanon - Thanks for sharing your pictures. I am going to be hunting there at Khomas Highlands Hunting Safaris in a couple of weeks. June 2026.

I did a penetration test with a 375 H&H loaded with a 300 grain swift A-Frame.

Hugh Ross is my go to expert on these questions. https://reasons.org Below is an interesting discussion by Christian leaders on the age of Earth. Well worth the watch!

I'm looking forward to the report. I am hunting at Khomas Highland June 14 -June 20. I'm looking forward to it.

Absolutely!

Between red and blue. 375H&H 300 gr Swift A-Frame

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

“5 Full Hunting days with 5 Management Game of either Gemsbok, Zebra and Blue Wildebeest for USD 2 950.” I’m interested in this hunt for mid June 2026. Do you think that it may be offered again in 2026? In addition, what is the cost for observers? I may have some family members who will wish to...

I love the 28 Nosler. It is a great Elk cartridge. I’ve taken 6 elk with it. Shots out to 500 yards are chip shots.

I like the idea since tungsten is both heavier and harder than lead. This is what I would buy when it is in stock. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1002084454?pid=972149

28 Nosler or 7 PRC

Great adventure! Thanks for posting. I remember being in Zimbabwe when the inflation was out of control.

I am going down a similar path as you SRvet. I love the 300 grain Swift A-Frame in my 375 but want a better option for smaller game with the 375. Recently, I have been shooting the 250 TTSX. I have loaded it with Varget and am getting 2811fps. It shoots 5” higher than the 300 grain Swift with no...

There is a 22 Hornet on gunbroker right now that should be a great practice rifle. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1081393471

Did you see this on gunbroker? Peter Hathaway Capstick’s Model 70 375 H&H is on gunbroker for $25,000. I just thought it was cool. Not associated with me in any way. You can own a piece of history. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1066613713

Wow! Great Report! Looks like so much fun. I would like to hunt NKWE one day.

I love bushbuck. I'll bet you had a great hunt. Congratulations!!!

"Penetration: 6 milk jugs and cracked the 7th" Excellent penetration. Enough for the largest game in my opinion.

I love hunting and shooting. I think long range shooting definitely helps me be a better shooter and hunter. This is my favorite western rifle. 28 Nosler. 175NABLR’s @ 3090fps. I love the Burris Eliminator scope for speed and ease of use when hunting. I normally shoot elk at just under 500 yards...

Watching. Interested in seeing your test results.

Excellent report. So fun. Congratulations.

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. This is a test I did with a 300 grain Swift A-Frame bullet from a 375 H&H through milk jugs. It penetrated 8 - 1 gallon milk jugs.
