What was your first African Game?

Landed in Windhoek, PH drove me to Eintracht farm, checked sight in of rifle after a few bottles of water. Then we went hunting.

Did a nine km or so long stalk through numerous oryx and red Hartebeest and took this bull at around 100 yards with my CZ 375 H&H.

Couldn't believe I had a beautiful African animal down just a few short hours after landing.

My PH Pieter Delport kept the rest of the hunt just as exciting. Just an awesome trip I couldn't have envisioned in my dreams.

Mine was also a Gemsbok. Taken in the Omaruru area of Namibia with Immenhoff Safaris. 2009 I believe.
 
Well it depends. What was my first African animal or what was my first animal in Africa? My first African animal was a gemsbok I took 20 years ago in East Texas. My first animal in Africa was a lion in the Kalahari.

I was waiting for this one. I shot a Steenbok and you shoot a Lion!!! Dang Texans!!! Ha ha!
 
Rock hyrax, meerkats, guinea fowl, pigeons and doves.....before 5 ... .
 
My first animal was a kudu in the Eastern Cape in 2012. An animal that I’d read a story about in Outdoor Life magazine when I was 12 or so. Made the whole trip worth it, even though I shot other animals as well.

The first afternoon on my first safari in the Eastern Cape a couple of hours after arriving at camp. My number one animal on my wish list was heading for the salt. Doesn't get much better than that.

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
