Hi everyone!
I just happened to find this site and it's been quite helpful! I'm getting married next May and I was looking into an Africa safari. Well, my fiance is trying to see if we can figure out how to add some hunting in there as well. I'm not a hunter but he is. He is fine with something like a springbok, impala, duiker or steenbok and would be happy with 1 animal. He's fine with either bow or rifle.
My original plan was to go on a 5 day safari in Kenya and then hit the beach for a couple days. So now I'm back to square one with planning.
I'm looking for any advise any of you have with wives/girlfriends/others who have come along as non-hunters. I don't want to be bored sitting at the lodge while he's off hunting. I don't really want to go along with him just because I don't want to see something get shot. I know I'm on a hunters forum. I'm ok with him doing it but I just don't want to see it.
Do any of you have suggestions of places that can plan activites for non-hunters as well? We don't need anything super fancy. I really havn't looked into a safari/hunt honeymoon much at all yet! Are there places we could easily get to a few days for hunting then maybe do a safari after then a couple days at the beach? My ask might be really unrealsitic. Or take out the beach and just do a safari and then add on a few hunting days at the end?
Any help you could offer up would be soooo appreciated!!
Thank you!
Brandi
