Welcome aboard. I’m currently in South Africa on my second Safari in as many years. Stop thinking about it and get over here sooner than later.

Good morning. I joined the forum a couple of weeks ago and am just getting around to introducing myself, more of a lurker than joiner.

I hunted a lot when I lived in Texas but not so much since I moved to Colorado but I still get out now and again. I’ve always wanted to hunt Africa and have decided now that I’m knocking on the door of turning 60, it’s time. 2019 if I can make it happen, if not, then 2021.

I’m looking forward to picking the brain of a those who’ve already hunted Africa. Thanks to all who have already shared their experiences.

Never wait-- get a plains game booked in South Africa- cheaper than a moose hunt in the uS!! Once there you will be booking your second trip. A hint- do not go for a week-- make it at least 15-18 days and hunt two areas- and different species-- most of the expense etc is just getting there and back- and time flies there= so I would book two safaris( cheap one)- most offer either a Kudu or Gemsbok-- so with two hunts=shoot a lot of cheap animals-- I like taking a new person -let them shoot culls, females and at least one good trophy to mount-- a wildebeest cow looks just like a male and just as fun to hunt--! cost 1/4 th.

I just returned from my second safari in April. Fantastic experience. Three words—Namibia, Micheal and Tiene Duvenhage at Uitspan Hunting, and Lori Spears at Travel Express! OK more than three words but three vital pieces to a great trip! There are many great places on this site. These are mine. I wrote two reports about Uitspan this year. Check them out.
