View attachment 49429 Mekaniks you will enjoy the hunt with Pieter and the folks at Flintbeck will treat you like family. Have fun and look forward to hear about your plans fir the trip!
There's a time to work.... and there's a time to play.... NOW'S THE TIME TO PLAY!!!!Impressive Bruce..
Headed to Cameroon for a Savannah hunt with Mayo Oldiri the end of January. Lord Derby Eland at the top of my list but sure want to hunt Roan while I'm there, it'll be my last subspecie. Really looking forward to the trip, it's been 20 years since I was in Cameroon. I did two forest safaris in the mid 90's and never got up north.
Then in June it'll be 30 years since my first safari so planning an extensive family trip to celebrate. We'll start off with old friends in the Eastern Cape Niel Schoeman of Swaershoek Safaris and Tollie Jordaan near Somerset East. A visit to Cape Town so the kids can see Table Mountain. Then up to Zambia with Shawn and Dene Bird of Balla Balla, they've got a great place in Kafue. An overnight in Livingstone to see the Falls then on to the Zambezi for some tiger fishing. We'll finish up with a few weeks in Namibia touring and a bit of hunting with Peter Thormahlen. This will be the first African trip the whole family will be on, Debra and I with four teenagers, it'll be like Christmas every day for six weeks!

GREAT family outing and something to cherish for ever.. good luck with your final choices and happy hunting.End of June I am heading with my family (two boys hunting with me and one daughter and wife not hunting) to test the patience of Marius at @KMG Hunting Safaris. My parents (77 & 80) are going too with my father doing some wing shooting. I am very excited and quite nervous....We are working out and shooting lots. I guess I see this as possibly the last of the full family vacations and it is going to be unlike any other!
Marius has designed a great list for the boys. I thought I knew what I wanted but now I am undecided. Did I mention I was testing his patience?
Waiting... remember that the Cape is home to RSA wines!!Thanks Bruce, I'll keep that glass of wine offer open and PM you closer to our visit.
