…tomorrow, 18 Aug, 19 year-old son and I are heading out for our first safari, 18 months in the works.
Matwetwe Safaris, SA, 10 days PG, and whatever Africa has to offer us.
I am so looking forward to (and not!) sitting my ass down on that 30A seat, ‘cause then, nothing else matters but getting there.
What an awesome forum, I don’t think we could be more well-prepared, thanks to everyone.
I’m a bit of a writer, so, stay tuned…
 
Excellent! looking forward to following along
 
Enjoy that seat, its worth it once you land
 
Good luck and safe travels. Will be looking forward to a report when you return.
 
Wonderful you can take such an adventure with your son!! What's your number one trophy you are looking to take?
 
In pecking order: kudu, gemsbok, impala, blesbuck, warthog and a day of bird hunting.
Then, perhaps a zebra and whatever else SA might offer us.
More interested in the whole safari experience, w/my son, than a big pile of dead critters…
 
That is a great list of animals for any hunter going to Africa!! I was super fortunate to hunt Africa with my Dad 3 times, I will always cherish those memories, as will you and your son. Congratulations again to you and your son!!
 
Safe travels.
Have Fun.
 
Safe travels and enjoy every minute.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
