Hey all!

I'm Ryan. I just found out I will be traveling Kenya in January. The least I can say is I'm more excited beyond words. I will be working with my University to study East African Raptors and other animal populations in Masai Mara and Lake Niavasha. I've always wanted to travel to Africa, and I hope this is the first of many trips.

I'm also interested in doing a little hunting while I'm there (I know it isn't allowed in Kenya) and have some questions that I'll post.
 
Welcome to the forum Ryan !

Just post the questions, I am certain you will get answers.
 
Welcome to AH.

Ask away.

What rifle will you be traveling with.

Check on what countries you will be wanting to visit and see what you need to do to take your rifle and go hunting.
 
Welcome to AH, Ryan!
 
Welcome to AH Ryan! If you decide not to carry a gun you can always rent one from the outfitters you'll be hunting with saves a lot of trouble when your traveling through other country's.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everybody!

My trip will be only in Kenya, but I was thinking of swinging down into Tanzania since I will be right on the border as it is.

I was planning on renting a rifle if I can hunt mostly because I'm not sure a professor would be happy with my bringing one. But here at home (Idaho) I shoot a .270 win.

I posted my questions in the hunting africa section. Hopefully will get an answer soon!
 
Ryan, did not see your other questions.
Good luck with your trip and your hunting.
Kenya, not sure about the hunting. Don't think you can from what I recall.
Tanzania, may be able to get that done.
 
Welcome to AH Ryan! Enjoy your time in Africa.
 
Welcome and enjoy Africa while you're there.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
