Guess I am off to SA in 2012. Have not firmed up the dates yet but it will be early spring 2012. Got a little too into the fund-raiser in Feb and bought a hunt for two in South Africa.
4 animals are included....Gemsbok, Springbok, Blesbok and duiker. I am adding a Kudu and impala for sure and of course a good warthog if the tusks are decent. After that I am not sure what else. The wife wants me to take a zebra no matter what but I am not convinced yet. Although I have heard they can be hard to hunt and are tough as nails. I am thinking maybe blue wildebeest or maybe a red hardebeest. But if I take a good blue wildebeest then maybe I need a black one to mount with it.
I have no idea how I am going to decide what to add on but I know it will be tough not to take a few extras if flying all that way.
I am thinking of using the PH's gun as we are planning on a few stop overs and sight seeing while on this trip so taking my own rifle is not an option. I know people who have been there with this guide and his guns are great.
We are bringing our wives for this trip of a lifetime so I also plan to take 2 days/nights at a game reserve as well.
I am open to any tips on gear, clothes etc. as I have no idea what to pack. Also what is a good idea to bring for tips for the helpers...
