Historic Safari Prices

I'm with Biddleman..... I would have been 10 or 11. Seeing Africa in books, pics of the landscape & all the different animals, definitely set wheels in motions for me.
Jeez, you guys are making me feel old! I was 32 on that first trip in '85!
 
Now for a corundum ...in 1985 I could have afforded a trip to Africa....but my first and only wife always bot a mink coat when I went on any hunting trip. We could do a Wyoming antelope for less than $300 in those days and when I returned there was another mink coat. Well .... Long story short after 10 coats I could not afford that trip to africa...she's gone...I am here and then did not go because of work...What a mistake. Go when you can the world functions without you, don't be so arrogant that everything goes to Hell if you are not there. Someday you will be physically unable, then what. Spend the kids inheritance, it is your money anyway. By the time the dust settles the attorneys, government, and funeral directors get most of it. It never gets cheaper
 
and the quote is "The cemetery is full of indispensable people." Life is not a dress rehearsal.

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...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

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.
