Hello Adam. Welcome to AH! I look forward to your contributions here. WOW! You certainly got some fantastic looking animals!! You must be pumped! I bet you're already dreaming of going back aren't you? Where is home for you? Like others, I'd be interested in a write up of your time there. I've heard a lot of good things about Nick Bowler Hunting Safaris. I'm glad you had such a good time. You have no idea how many of us wish that we were there ourselves!

I still getting used to this group and trying to reply as I travel home. I’m in El Paso Texas now. I moved from Alaska about 5 years ago for work purposes
Nick is a great guide and really knowledgeable. He was a great choice for me. My hunt too was canceled at first butNick and I stayed in contact for better part of a year! Till I the flight restrictions was lifted. I took two Covid test a few days apart that keep me in compliance with the 72 travel. I didn’t want to get to South Africa and not be allowed in cause my (negative) teat was outdated.

Sure i took American Airlines from Texas to La. (don’t recommend them) but for the International flight I flew Qatar airways fro
LA to Qatar them Qatar to Johannesburg.
At Johannesburg I got on SA airline. For safety measure when you fly with Qatar airlines they will have you wear a face mask and face shield. But the flight was comfortable and nonstop beer lol.
