I just got home yesterday (Friday April 30) from my first African trip with @Nick BOWKER HUNTING SOUTH AFRICA , and had an excellent trip. This trip was originally slated for July 2020, and I was able to fit it in this year even with the uncertainty of traveling with Covid 19 issues. I am happy to report it was not that difficult to have the RT-PCR test conducted before traveling, and before I returned from SA. More details a little further in this report. I'll do a continuing report on a day-by-day happening.
I flew British Airways from Cincinnati to Washington, DC on a Saturday, then flew Ethiopian on the next Sunday to Addis Ababa, then on to Johannesburg, SA. Spent Monday evening at Journeys in Africa, then flew to Port Elizabeth SA on Tuesday morning, where I was met by my PH, Ben, and driven to Olivefountain Ranch, near Bedford SA (about a 2 hour trip). I got to meet everyone at the ranch, sight the rifle I would be using and go out for looking over a small part of the ranch for a bit. I had a very nice two room cottage with a big, comfortable bed and a huge bathroom for accommodations for my visit. Evenings were spent with everyone over appetizers, then great dinners, drinks and conversation. I really enjoyed Castle Lite and SA red wines. And no TV for almost 2 weeks was a big plus!
