Very Exciting! What outfit will you be hunting with?

 

[Drywaller44]

Plan to add the kudu. Once you see one you’ll want it for sure. It took all my willpower to not take a second one and really blow past my budget more than i already had.

Enjoy....

After the first trip, all you will want to do is go back.

Hope you don’t come across a monster sable or roan while there. . Temptation happens.

Congratulations ! You’ll get hooked.

Bosveld Jacobs. The number of people, including the president of the local SCI chapter have hunted there, and I’ve met with the outfitter twice and have a good feeling. Comes nothing but highly recommended.

Funny enough I’m already planning the second trip. I can already tell I’m going to want to take my son as either a middle school graduation or high school middle trip. So the Kudu may wait for that but I know I’ll add one at some point.

Congrats and you will love it! I went for the first time in 2022. Wife and two sons (12&7)). We loved it. I thought my wife would hate it, and she really enjoyed it, and thanks to losing a game of uno at lunch with our friend she ended up shooting a blesbuck as an add on. We had a list too before we left. I don’t remember what it was, and we did shoot around half of the animals on that list. The others changed very quickly after the first or second day. So welcome to the forum, and go have fun. Don’t be afraid to change things up!! Also try the biltong. Chutney was our favorite

 

[Cleathorn]

Congratulations and enjoy yourself. You'll always remember that first trip that started it all.

If I searched, I am sure my first trip planning questions are on this forum somewhere. As others have mentioned, beware of the "no ones goes to Africa just once..." warnings. They are real.

I was planning to go only once. I'm currently in route to Cameroon on my 2nd trip to Africa - this year! Africa has a way of getting ahold of you.

Enjoy the planning process. There is a ton of great advice, and a whole lot of experience, on AH.

And you should be excited, congratulations on booking that trip. Went for the first time last August, trophies are just now heading this way. And yes, looking forward to trip #2.

 

[CamoManJ]

Congratulations on your first commitment to Safari in Africa. I hope you are able to deflect all the liabilities that threaten and discourages the trip of a lifetime…Go No Matter What. Looking forward to the report & pictures. Welcome to the Forum.

 

[Hunt anything]

Congratulations, the anticipation and lead up to the hunt are almost as fun as the hunt. Good luck.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Add there Kudu.
Enjoy the build up to your adventure.
