Sitting here on a Drillship off the coast of Angola waiting for the last three shifts to be completed.
Then it's a Thursday trip by surfer boat to Luanda, overnight. Then a flight to Johannesburg to meet up with the group.
Then we head to the Kalahari where I'll be hunting for Eland, Gemsbok, Springbok and maybe a Blesbok.

Kind of an unexpected trip as I was unaware of it until late January. But I guess I get to test the BRNO much sooner than originally expected.

I will follow up with pictures when I can.

Good luck!
 
Have a great trip, look forward to pics and a report!
 
At least your hitch is almost over. Shoot straight and have fun :)
 
Hope you have a great hunt! Good luck!
 
Good luck on your trip!
 
Good luck & safe travels.
 
Wish you the best of luck, Dane !
 
Congrats, I'm sure you will have a excellent trip!
 
The days seem to be getting longer. One more work shift after tonight.
 
Hope you have a great trip!
 
What caliber BRNO do you have? I have a couple a 7 x 57 and a combination gun in 12 Ga. over a 7 x 65R both are good guns. Good luck on your hunt.
 
Are you packed? Have you re packed? Don't forget your passport!
 
The BRNO is a ZKK 602 in .375H&H. I had been searching for it for a few months and found this one around Christmas time.
As for packing and passports, I packed in March when I left to come to work. I needed my passports then. However one of my passports is on the beach with the Angolan govt waiting for a work visa to be put into. I may be leaving it and traveling with one. One shift to go. They are getting long.
 
Good luck Dane
 
Good Luck
 
The crew are packing for their flights this afternoon. I just found out I will get my passport back from the government tomorrow when I get to the beach. I can't wait to eat a burger and fries tomorrow.
 
Well I'm on the beach in Luanda. 5am wake up for my flight down to Joburg. Having a much needed Adult Beverage after 29 days at sea. The crew should be just leaving Europe for Joburg.
 
Ok, made it to Joburg and the guys dragged me to the hunting expo. WOW. What a show.
For some reason I can't attach photos via the phone right now. If the smart guy shows up, maybe we'll ask him for help with it.
I got to handle a few Rigbys at their booth. Fine firearms.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
