Hello all,

I have been browsing this site for awhile off and on. However all the useful information and hunt reports have made me take the plunge to fulfill the dream of hunting Africa. I have booked with @Nick BOWKER HUNTING SOUTH AFRICA for June of 2024. It is going to be a long wait.
 
Welcome to AH! The wait for your first trip makes it all that more special when you finally go.

Welcome welcome welcome

Enjoy the hunt
 
Welcome to AH TheRealHorskin!

Welcome to you! Glad you're here!
 
Hello TheRealHorskin,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

Nick Bowker will no doubt see to it that you have a wonderful safari.

When your day finally arrives and you eventually return home again, I shall look forward to your hunt report.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.
 
You Sir are going to be very pleased, I have hunted with Nick twice recently and am planning number 3 as we speak. Check my hunt report from first hunt and hope to complete hunt report 2 soon. He makes everything happen for your benefit. I was in the second group to experience the new lodge and we were discussing over dinner why we chose Nick. The other couple in camp the husband had come before and booked a normal hunt but ended up extending while there for 20 plus days. I forget the exact number of days, but he was in a very different socio eco status than me. I will not mention his name, I don’t have permission. Nicest couple you could ever meet, but, back to why we booked. I stated website answers questions I didn’t even I knew I had as a rookie in Africa and could not find a single bad review. I felt I had answered questions truthfully and completely. The other gentleman stated and I quote “No BullShit” unquote. The most articulate and succinct answer anyone could deliver.

@USN Oddly enough I had spent a lot of time reading the hunting reports and your's, @Hogpatrol , and @Trogon definitely helped make the decision for whom my first safari would be with. I had it narrowed down to 3 outfitters and the photos of the game taken and the rave reviews really helped make the scales tip. After a quick chat with @Nick BOWKER HUNTING SOUTH AFRICA on my background and what I wanted to accomplish along with his response time it made me feel warm and fuzzy. I let him know I wanted to book, he gave me dates that he was available, I was in touch with Gracy Travel and flights were booked. We even discussed what I had for guns and what my preferred rifle was, he gave me suggestions for that rifle and I decided I would use my medium bore option instead. I can tell he cares about the animals and his clients. Now I enjoy the wait.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
