Booking my first trip to South Africa!

Still alive, welcome aboard. To answer your question yes there are a lot of S.C.I as well as D.S.C members on AH. Why did you ask? Where are you located? Will you be taking your own firearms to Africa? If so, what calibers for you and the boy? Or are both of you bow hunters? What have the two of you hunted in the past?

No rifles on this trip, our safari includes guns, 308 and 300 win mag. Southern California, mostly wild pigs, tule elk, lots of rams and water buffalo. We’ll be going to the SCI show in Vegas this February.

Welcome! There are lots of folks here who attend the SCI and DSC shows. Bring your son to the show. (Oh, and bring your wallet, way too many cool things.)

I took my son to Namibia at age 12. We would be landing in Namibia again today, sniff. (son is now 14.)
