Your Favorite Africa Hunting Photo

[Philip Glass]

Mine- nothing to do about the actual hunting and EVERYTHING to do with the Why I love being there !

A Castle beer and a lovely lady (wow!). I agree that a good memory does not have to be a hunt pic.

Me and Steve. A man who helped me get my lion. We spent 23 days together in Zimbabwe and he was such a cheery person.

My father and my son on their first African Safari with Liam Urry. This was my sons first animal he ever hunted at 5 years of age.

The same 2 back home with a nice muley that my dad shot.

Let's keep this thread going!

Because we will never have another first African animal

 

[Rubberhead]

It surprises me a little but I keep coming back to this one...maybe Africa is more about the friends you make than the animals you hunt...

Hunting:

My son’s first time in Africa with me. Based on his behavior throughout the entire safari, I knew that he was born with a hunter’s blood coursing through his veins.

Non Hunting:

That first day in Mr. Cheffing’s camp on the first ever African safari, Kenya 1974. What initially started as “Hey, this’ll be a nice once in a lifetime exotic hunt” soon became “I’ve got to come back here once every five years”.

Last day leopard in Tanzania

This was on my first trip to Africa, in 1971, my first elephant, taken with a cartridge I designed myself and fired from a rifle custom made for me. I think I was still in a state of shock. After I had emptied my rifle and the elephant had stopped moving, it occurred to me that I should reload. I opened the bolt and found to my surprise a round in the chamber and a full magazine. I had evidently trained myself to the point that reloading was automatic and I was unaware of having done it.

My PH asked me what I had thought of the scream the elephant gave out when the first shot hit him and I had to confess that I hadn't heard it, nor the sounds made by my rifle going off. It was a one time experience.

my first morning in Africa realizing that I was indeed fulfilling a dream.

Last sunset in Africa from a blind waiting for a leopard to come in to a bait tree.

Lots to choose from but these two are favorites reminding me of lots of memories

 

[Sika98k]

I’ve always liked this one.

 

[Brad Hatfield]

Hard to pic a favorite but my Sable and my dads last hour of the hunt Kudu certainly standout.

The landscape was the most amazing thing for me in Africa. I keep returning to this particular photo.
People are different, yet somehow similar all over the world. You can see the african animals elsewhere too.
But the land! .... oh, what a land!

My 60” + Kudu 2021 in Zimbabwe, PH was Allan Shearing, trackers and game scout were great. To not detract from the picture I was holding the camera. Second picture was 2014 in Zambia, my first buffalo.

That's a really nice take.
