Sounds like a good time to me! I've always wanted to go on a safari down there.
If you want it, I have a .375 H&H magnum bolt action rifle you can use.Life its too short to own ugly handguns and drink fruity whiskey.Comment

Throughout this thread the one thing I've picked up on is that I'll NEVER walk ten miles in a day....
Looking forward to your trip pics Shiner.BOT

It's not red vs. blue, it's the state vs. you

I went back in 2004 and I'm going again in mid July. I booked airfare through Delta and upgraded to a little better seat in cattle class. DO NOT use British Airways or KLM. Lots of guys use United through Newark, but sometimes there is a hassle with guns coming back in. Give yourself a minimum 3 hour layover between connecting flights. July is probably the most expensive month to fly. I've already done my 4457 customs forms. I still need to do the SAPS forms. I will probably use Henry's Rifle Permits to move things along. If you haven't been before, I recommend using either Gracy Travel or Travel Express. They are extremely experienced in helping hunters with their trips. I'm taking a .375 Ruger for plains game. I used a .300 Weatherby before and it got the job done. I also highly recommend going to the forum africahunting.com for everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask. Feel free to pm me if you'd like.I would have been born on a horse, but my mom had to get down and open a gate.Comment

ruger makes a lefty 375, but it's got a gawd-awful muzzle brake contraption on the end that looks like hell..
I'd like an older one w/out all the crap on the end...smack a nilgai or eland w/the 270gr and or/ a cape buff w/the 300's..both hunts are unobainium at this time...
the 375 ruger is everything the holland can do, but cheaper...fanatsizing, but 21 days w/ it, and an '06 and 243, plus a 12 bore for fowl would be a classic safari...
Moz or Zim for the consessionComment

I have been lucky enough to get to try a few different antelope. Waterbuck, Red Scimitar Oryx, Lechwe, to name a few but by far my most favorite for table fare is the Addax. Delicious! If you get a chance to smoke one of those make sure you bring your appetite to dinner that night!!Comment
