    Large Group Trip Planning: Testing the Waters

    Thank you for the reply. For the number of hunters would definitely need to be a 2:1. The goal would be to send off non hunters for a 4-5 day trip in country see wildlife areas, museums, wine country etc. and then meet up with everyone at camp for the last 3 days. Those three days is where we’d...

    Large Group Trip Planning: Testing the Waters

    My good friend @dchum has hunted with Phillip twice and speaks very highly of Khomas Highlands Safaris. I was supposed to join him this last time around but life happens and was not able to make the trip. I may be wrong but feel Namibia is not a great option for the lack of non hunter...

    Large Group Trip Planning: Testing the Waters

    The 22 Hornet: Uses: Your Choices in ammo, on animals, results

    Actually has an old Zeiss Diatal-C 4x marked West Germany… incredibly bright scope. Have shot Winchester Super X out of it and it’s right at an inch at 50 yards. Need to test some other ammo as @dchum mentioned and stretch its legs out to 100 yards.

    Namibian safari

    I got to do a guided tour of Windhoek at the end of my safari before departing back to the US. I was exhausted after being in Africa for over three weeks at this point but was glad I did it. I was able to see all of the major historical buildings and got to grab lunch at a local restaurant. In...

    Bipod practice? (Sticks)

    IMO it is worth investing in some quality shooting sticks and practicing with them every chance you get before your safari. I went on my first safari to South Africa and Namibia this past summer and 9 of the 10 trophies I hunted I used my own sticks. Getting comfortable with your equipment is...
