I’ve only been to Africa once so I’m always really impressed by the adventures that the members of this community have had. I’ll be back. Heck I’d go back every year if I could. I’m not allowed to go by myself after the first trip. My family would disown me. Guess it’ll just take a few more years of saving before I go again. Only took 5 animals myself so here’s my top 5. All animals taken in Limpopo.
#1 Nyala. Taken the last afternoon. I spotted him before the PH did! Not sure how big he is but the PH suggested having him measure by SCI. Love the ivory tips and his teeth were nearly gone and the hair on his neck was getting thin. Proper old bull.
#2 Impala. Taken the first morning after an exciting stalk. Not sure how big but it was suggested that I have it measured. I just love the shape.
#3 kudu. Who doesn’t love kudu? Didn’t measure him. He’s mine. Good representative of the species I believe.
#4 Porcupine. Love porcupines and couldn’t turn this one down.
#5 warthog. Smaller boar. Happy to have taken him. Will look for a better one in the future.
Now the reason I am not allowed back to Africa by myself.
Daughter took some nice animals including two that the PH said we need to have measured. She also took a zebra, impala and springbok.
#1 Blesbok. The PH got excited about this one.
#2 steenbok. Big enough for a couple other PHs to have to ask “who kille that big steenbok?” Around the fire that night.
And my son killed a couple nice animals as well. His favorite was the warthog but now he wants to get a wildebeest slam.
#1 warthog.
#2 Blue Wildebeest.
