Can anyone tell me what African oriented hunting magazines are still in print?

In America we have Sports Afield, Safari Club, Dallas Safari Club (very good by the way), and then the traditional hunting magazines (Peterson's Hunting, Outdoor Life, Field and Stream, and others).

I see that African Sporting Gazette is still in publication.

Is Man-Magnum alive?

I heard there is a Namibia Hunter or Hunt Namibia magazine, but I can't figure out how to get it?

Any others?

I remember there being a few based out of South Africa that were in Afrikaans, or mostly in Afrikaans. Is this still a thing?

When I lived in Germany and Australia there were several magazines that focused on international hunting but not exclusively Africa.
 
AHG and Man magnum, alive.

I have 5 year subscription on AHG.
In 2020, presumably due to covid-19 pandemcis, and transport issues I did not receive a single edition of AHG.

Last month I dropped an email to them, asking if this can be corrected, to send me the missiing issues of AHG.
Eshter and Shayla of AHG, responded asap, and in less then two weeks I received by courier my missing editions for 2020.

So great costumer support! (y)
 
African Outfitter is still hanging on but issues are somewhat intermittent.
 
SA- Huner/Jagter is still going. Mixed Afrikaans and english articles.
 
I enjoy Sporting Classics, which usually has several African stories in each issue...
 
Wild & Jag (Game & Hunt), not bad, includes a section on game breeding and sales.
 
AHG all the way. I had exact same issue as @mark-hunter had, one year without mags, called a couple times and Kaitlin was amazing. She had whole set shipped up here to me, except package was opened and empty upon arrival?? Another call and a new set was sent. Outstanding service, I also got another 5 years at old price. Stories, pics and outfitter advertising are all read by me. Only mag I read cover to cover.

I also like Sports Afield, but its not all Africa and the SA properties seems to be getting larger content=Not what I buy a hunting mag for? So maybe that will get dropped on next renewal.

Petersons hunting has more advertising than content now, so gone.

I still like printed versions, can read in Northern BC while hunting, no service there. I still get all the Canadian mags and Safari from SCI.

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

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

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
