plane tickets are bought the wait is going to kill me

We finalized the dates for my first african safari yesterday and got the tickets bought. Now the wait really begins.

I am so excited i don't know if i can stand it. we are leaving the 28th of may starting our hunt on the 1st of june and getting home on the 18th of june.

We are going to Namibia and hunting with kalahari hunting safari's in 2 of their locations. Khomas Hochalnd Mountains and their Klahari lodge area. then on a private ranch for a few days at the end for a cull hunt -- hunting partner is good friends with him we will be the only hunters on the land for the season.
Hello Biggdawg,

there are especially two regions, where my heart beats faster:

the Teton Range in your country and the range of the Khomas Highlands in Namibia.
Good luck and Waidmannsheil

I'm absolutly sure,that you have a good time there.
But think ,when you are flying home.Take enough time for the customers to see your gun.
A lot of (mostly) German hunters are also going home.
And one, two hours is in Africa nothing.

will do.

made it to jo berg, staying at african sky, off to namibia tomorrow. man the 16 hr flight is looooong
 
What we need is a shift in the earths crust so the flight will be shorter,,,unless you fly with Air France then a 1/2 hour flight is 20 minutes to long,,,heads up you may want to check on how Namibia feels about your left over Ammo for the return trip SA let me in with my Ammo packed in my Suitcase but made me seperate it and check it thru as extra luggage on the return trip
 
will do.

Not as long as the wait before hand!!! :)
 
47 days till wheels up time is starting to drag everything done except pre arranged gun permit waiting on booking agent.
Leave July 17 out of IAD on South African Airways flight 471. We are stoked. Anyone leaving on the same day I will buy 1st round before 5:40 departure.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

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
