Who is going where in 2018 or hoping to make plans for 2018

John Ed,

My wife and I did our 30th anniversary in 2016 in Cape Town and no, I didn't have a side trip with a hunt. However, with your Uganda trip, you might consider adding a glamping safari on either before or after your hunt. Quite frankly, the photo safaris we have done (my wife is a non-hunter) have been awesome and you actually see a lot more animals than when you are hunting. You can do some sort of gorilla trekking safari in Uganda or Rwanda. Or go to Kenya or Tanz, the Masai Mara and Serengetti are calling! We've used a Cape Town based travel, Go2Africa.com and they have put us in several camps operated by a company called "&beyond" https://www.andbeyond.com/ and they have been fantastic experiences.

First off Dave, glad to hear youre headed home! Look forward to meeting you and having a whiskey.
Interesting you mentioned Cape Town as when we did the big family safari in '16 we had 3 days there and visited a couple of wineries. We said how we'd like to come back and spend a week or so touring the area, tasting some wine and enjoying the countryside. We did the Blue Train back in '96 which was a great experience.

That is a dream hunt for sure. I am looking forward to reading about your hunt.

First African hunting trip in May 2018. PG in the Eastern Cape of SA. Kudu, Oryx, Impala, Zebra, and Warthog. Pretty excited if I were to be honest! Unfortunately reading on hear for a few months...I'm thinking I will need to go back for a buffalo .....listening to everyone's stories has got me kinda stoked.

Perfect time of year for SA. You will have a ball. Good luck and remember, if you watch the clock it clicks two seconds forward, then one back. In the meantime, practice with your rifle(s).

Yep, you’ll go back at least for a buffalo! Probably many more trophies as well!
Best of luck!

South Africa in July/August with the girlfriend if they get my hip sorted out soon had to cancel this year already

 

[Adam S]

Nothing concrete, but I'm hoping to visit northwest Colorado for elk with a very good friend this year or next.

 

[Dr Ray]

Well I am not reading any more of this post. Too many people, having too good a time planning hunting trips

I’m going buff hunting.
Merry Xmas Neale.

 

[Ridgewalker]

Oh I’m jealous Dr Ray! You better take pictures and write us a little report!

I certainly will. Look forward to your visit 2019.

I see you’re going pg hunting w paw print next year. Well that should be an excellent trip.

 

[Bsto270]

Right now a whole lot of nothing in 2018 other than some local hunting. Getting a group in place for a return trip to the Eastern Cape in 2020.

 

[Ridgewalker]

I certainly will. Look forward to your visit 2019.

I’m looking forward to the water buffalo hunt with you in 2019. Sounds like a grand time!
At my age I’ve got to make the most of every year! Waisted too much of my life already not taking advantage of each and every day! Although if today is my last, it’s been a great run! I just wish everyone could be as lucky as I have been!

 

[AZDAVE]

Limpopo in May, taking 10 first timers and a friend that has been several times. At DSC looking to research, either Alaska Brown bear, Namibia Leopard, or New Zealand red deer/thar in 2019 0r 2020. Look forward to everyone’s pictures and hunt reports. Merry Christmas!
