SOUTH AFRICA: My Epic Return To Frontier Safaris

[Philip Glass]

Sounds like a good time, congratulations on adding the blue duiker to your tiny ten list, looks like a beautiful area to hunt, looking forward to the rest of the safari. Those are some nice really clear pictures as well.

Thanks you. These are with the iPhone 11 so a bit better then before.

What a great hunt in the place where your African experience all started. Some great and unique trophies: The black impala, golden wildebeest, ostrich. A terrific sable and nyala. Getting the oribi and blue duiker for your tiny ten collection was great. I really like your bushpig (I have a weird thing for porcine critters).
Nyala and bushpig will be on my list for my next safari. It sounds like I may just have to give Frontier Safaris some consideration.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience.
I may have missed it, but what bullet were you using in your .300 Win mag?

Barnes 180g. I can not say enough about Barnes. This makes something like the 5th caliber I've done significant hunting with and they simply perform.

Lowa. I like them because they are lightweight and come in narrow widths. These boots were excellent for this type of hunt. I'll finish this post and gear list will be at the bottom.

Travel Report

We used TWG.travel for our travel arrangements. Thankfully we did because our Delta flight, ATL-JNB, was cancelled. A full travel report to come soon.

Fred going up to 28X with the Swaro Z8 to take a closer look.

The accommodations and the view were outstanding at Frontier's Masada Lodge.

I like the white flanked impala, reminds me of a piebald deer a little bit.

Definitely a little different! They say variety is the spice of life.

Congrats on a great safari! Sounds like a place I would like to hunt someday. I’m glad you didn’t let any of the increased virus travel BS keep you from going! People need to keep living their lives and traveling. My hat’s off to you for some great shooting as well.

Oh envy! Another fine Philip Glass Africa adventure!
Congratulations!
