Hello all, I’ve been lurking around a bit dreaming lately about getting to Africa to hunt. I used to dream of hunting Africa when I was much younger and when I hunted a lot more than I do today. Life tends to continue on and dreams become lost. As with most things in life, life takes some turns we least expect and before we know it we are toiling away at the rat race. I’m only in my mid 40’s so I think I have still have time to change my ways... lol.... I now see a chance that I may be able to hunt Africa ..... and possibly hunt a lot more than just one time too. I have a new job that pays fairly well, and my wife is from Kenya and she likes to visit her family, so we will be traveling there every couple years.
I have mostly hunted and trapped Indiana woods game, I’ve been to Pennsylvania for Bear and whitetail, and to Kansas for Phasant. I have been out to South Dakota and Wyoming for prairie dogs. Also I have driven the Alcan Highway to Alaska but that was to pick up a Maule airplane project. I would love to hunt Browns, Moose and Elk here in the states still.
I will be visiting Kenya next year but have not made plans to hunt, just visit. I have not done any hunting research because I never thought I would have the opportunity to hunt in Africa. I have bought the big guns already though... cart before the horse?..lol.... I have married a Kenyan woman so I will be spending some time in Africa and my thoughts are that there is a real possibility I could pull this off.
I should probably do some research before asking but since I am here introducing myself I will say I have connections in Niavasha, Kenya. Wife’s family. Nairobi also.
Is there any recommendations or suggestions for that area?
I’m a private pilot also, so I’ve thought about the idea of getting checked out and renting a small plane to get to where I need to go. ?
Thank You in advance.
I have a Remington 700 in 458 Win Mag, and a FN Browning 338 Win Mag. Also deer size game and varmint caliber rifles.
