Wow!
Helluva first Safari…Awesome & well written hunting report.
Welcome to the forum, great start!
That eland, haha…yeah, I know that satisfaction of earning him, spectacular trophy!
The Waterbury & Caprivi area in Namibia is truly a marvel area that I’ve heard so many hunters dream of, myself included…it’s on the bucket list.
It’s always nice to see another fellow from Texas & San Antonio. I was just in town, ate at the famous La Fonda on Main, enjoyed a jalapeño~cucumber top shelf margarita & damn good Mexican food. Back to work in Midland.
Thanks for joining and writing an excellent hunting report.

Man, I used to live 5 minutes from La Fonda on Main. I really miss that place! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to answer what I can and hope you get out there sooner rather than later!
 
Great report! Congratulations on an amazing hunt.
 
Thank you for such a great report! I enjoyed it very much.
 
As many others and you yourself found out, Namibia and the Waterberg are special places. Hunting buff and eland the way it should be done, on foot is truly the way to do it too. Some great animals and memories created! And a fantastic Lechwe.
 
Great hunt, congrats !

Thanks for sharing.
 
The recovery picture of the hippo in the water is amazing. At first glance it looked like an action shot and for some reason gave a terrifying perspective to a hippo! I am also from San Antonio and agree with you on the poor night sky experience we have in this area. Love to connect if your interested in swapping stories.

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
