Thanks for all the recommendations. Looking forward to meeting them, working my tail off to get on animals and getting spoiled back at camp. 10 days for departure now!!

I have a pretty decent First Aid Kit that I build myself, I think it is a great idea to bring a clone of it, with plans to leave with them at the end of the trip. I love cooking and always think about the staff "behind the scenes" realizing how much effort they put in everything. I have cooked...

Planning on copies of documents, but thanks for the reminder. Didn't think to leave antibiotics with them, but will do so. Getting more and more excited as I get closer

Thanks for all the feedback! I did miss adding to the list the following that I had thought about: Light hunting jacket + thicker jacket for camp Backpack Boot Gaiters Shorts I will make sure to bring some. I emailed Ansie regarding sweets for the staff and she didn't get back to me on that...

I will tell them for sure. You recommended Kowas and that is the reason I ended up going with them after looking up different outfits. Plane tickets are purchased, working on narrowing down gear to take, I'm thinking: Clothes 3 hunting/travel pants (Should I take a briar/upland pant?) 3...

Randy, I sent them a WhatsApp, I believe we're gonna do a Kowas guided game-tour (if Erindi open) and I will look into lodging in Mushara Lodge by Etosha x2 nights.

Wow! Time has flied, I recall scanning this forums for hours and hours. Last year I placed a deposit and will be hunting plains game with Kowas Adventures in late june. So far my list is Kudu Gemsbok Impala Mountain Zebra and open to guides suggestions if something unusual and not crazy...

never thought about this! Though I was thinking along the lines of spotting game, birds, plants, etc, the quest is settled with this marvelous insight. LOL

Thanks! I'll check them out at some point. My guess is for wildlife, most will be pictures with decent sunlight, so the aperture range may not be as critical

I have a Nikon D7000, which currently had a Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD. This is a neat lens, though sometimes I can see it lacking speed in less than ideally illuminated areas (indoors), and on very long zoomed in pics. I am planning a trip to Africa next year, and though it is a...

Hello guys. New guy here, currently in Houston, Tx. I am planning my first (hopefully of many) trips to Africa, most likely Namibia and I am already in touch with Kowas Hunting Safaris. I have been cruising the forums trying to obtain as much knowledge and information as possible. I am amazed...
