I did the recent elephant hunts in the last 3 years with CMS in Zim and would recommend them.

2024:
May: Just finished a superb hunt in the Austrian Alps for Birkhahn @Red Leg Did you take a Birkhahn while in Germany?
September: Hunt in Poland for a management red stag
Perhaps a last-moment Austrian Gams before I depart for the States
October-November: Off-the-grid adventure across multiple countries with a military friend

2025: No Africa, maybe an Alaska hunt with a good friend or Crook County, Wyoming for a mule or whitetail with Dad.

2026: Same plan as 2025

2027: Africa once more, a Buffalo hunt in the most remote part of southern Africa I can find

Big thanks to Dalton for sitting down and working all this out to make it happen!

Any body have any plans changed?

Mine changed up some as of now.
I accomplished more than anticipated with Bos en Dal this June 2024. With the Rhino dart hunt.

Dalton York hunt bumped to May 2027 now with 18-21 days in Omay. Leopard, Tuskless, Hippo, Hyena, Buff, plus some plains game I still need. This will be a trip of a lifetime if all comes together!

WOW!!! Awesome plans Mark!!!! Mine have changed. I had to postpone my leopard hunt in 25 due to family situation to complete my big 5…but I will do it!!!

Plans have changed slightly here as well,
2024 - Work, SAVE SOME MONEY and focus on my health also. If you dont have your health nothing else will matter so thats top of my list for the rest of the year and continuing.
2025 - Same as above and hopefully get up north deer hunting with friends on their 400ac property.
2026 - Hopefully a moose hunt in AB, friend and i have been discussing it recently

Whitetails and axis on our place here for the next few years. Hopefully get back across for a buffalo and sable by 2028.

Now that all of you have turned me into an African addict lol! Here is my three year plan...what is yours?
1. July 2021 first Buffalo hunt with Tsala 40+ opportunity
2. July 2022 just booked for second hunt with Game 4 Africa for second buffalo, kudu and first water buck
3. I will hunt with Tsala again for lion and elephant not booked yet but this is my plan

I have no idea what comes after the above...how about you?

I haven't killed a leopard or hippo yet, so those two come to mind. Nyala and bushbuck were both better hunts than waterbuck (and better eating too)! One thing about Africa, there's an endless supply of new things to chase.

2021 21 day July Family safari with Jamy Traut safaris PH Louw Lotter. Hippo and PG. this was delayed from 2020.

Fall 2021: idaho Elk, Montana elk/antelope/deer.
Cancelled 2020 events that may happen include the UK and Japan. If we go to Puerto Rico again for the Xmas holidays I want to hunt iguana.

2022?? The Mrs. lives to travel. She is coming around to the idea of dual purpose trips with some hunting. I’m hoping to hunt in the UK somewhere, as I’m sure we will be there. Assuming she enjoys the 2021 Safari, my chances of some type of repeat are good.

Interesting to see this thread and look back at my plans.
We did hippo, croc, Elephant and PG in 2021.
2022-23 Xmas was England for their deer species and birds
2023 Namibia again for hippo, buffalo and PG.
2023 bonus trip to far northern Canada for bird hunting.
2023-24 Xmas was England again! Too much fun to not repeat!
Next month is Namibia trip #4: elephant, hippo and PG.
This Fall will be continued NA hunts in MT and Mn.
2025: I am hoping to go back to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT Canada again.
Amazingly, I don’t have set plans for 2025. My kids will both be off to college, so my schedule gets a lot more flexible.

 

[Wade J VanGinkel]

The only things locked in right now are Upper Michigan bear next month, Greenland muskox in February and South Africa in 2026 with my son. Going with @HENRY GRIFFITHS SAFARIS again there.
I'm trying to stay more open anymore as funds are limited and want to be able to jump on special deals that come up.

Africa dreaming! Only life has changed and it may not happen. I did book an Aoudad hunt for the granddaughter to go on in January 2025. She will graduate highschool in May and hopefully head to get her final welding certifications before her real world life starts. A possible Africa trip in 2027 for her (and myself) when she completes her certifications.
Life changes. Live with it! The alternative is not my choice. LOL!

Enjoy every opportunity you can!

Yeah, life happens. Since my last safari (2022) I've had a heart attack and now have ventricular tachycardia. Another safari may not be in the cards for.me either. We can still dream of Africa though!
