Sitting at the airport waiting to leave on my first Safari

[Matt Perchick]

I'm sitting at the airport in Saint Louis awaiting my flight to Atlanta. This is my first safari and to say in excited seems to be an understatement of my true feelings. I can't wait to get to Africa and am trying to block out the thoughts of the dreaded flight from Atlanta to Johannesburg. I look forward to meeting up with Marius @KMG Hunting Safaris in Port Elizabeth. I know I'm going to have a phenomenal time. I know, I know : Write a hunt report!!!!!! Don't fret, I will keep a journal and do a write up upon completion of my adventure. If you guys are nice, I might even give some updates along the way. As for photos........ that might have to wait till I return home and can get the wife to help me out with attachments.

Good luck Matt. Have a great time. Marius and his team will do right by you.

Go ahead and set your watch forward 7 hours and try to sleep/act like it's that time. Drink lots of water on the plane...it really helps with jet lag. Don't fart until the plane is in the air and the circulation system is working. Drink a glass of wine or beer and try and sleep. Have fun. Repeat as needed.

You are going to have the time of your life.
Enjoy your hunting experience
If you have time one the back end. Try a tour maybe the Garden Route to Cape Town.

I just got home from the airport. Had a fantastic trip with Marius and his team. To say that your going to have a good time is definitely an understatement. Report of my trip is soon to come. I have to spend a day or 2 to rest up from the long days of hunting.... Have a great trip you will enjoy yourself for sure.

I enjoyed the long nap and catching up on movies I had heard of but never saw. It's all part of the adventure!

Well by now you should be out over the Atlantic........and the long flight sucks......but soon enough you'll find out why it's worth it. Have a great hunt!
