    Here is my Caesar Guerini Magnus. My grandparents and uncle started WW Game Birds and I’ve been fortunate to hunt a lot of quail.

    We will be sending them to @gizmo. He and I discussed this two years ago and haven’t discussed it again :ROFLMAO: Sable, Hartebeest, and Gemsbok will all be shoulder mounts, warthog will be skull and zebra will be a rug.

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    Turkish business class isn’t lavish but does provide a lie flat seat. The food was decent and is well worth what I spent. It was roughly the same cost as my return on Deltas premium economy. Delta premium economy has wider seats than standard economy with most of the same amenities as Turkish...

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    I carried a file folder with 5 copies of everything including 4457, saps520 application, Namibian police application. Luckily, I had a prefilled 520 or I think the time would have been more stressful. Goodluck this year!

    It was a great time, lessons learned! Right. The permit should have been in my hand if issues were to arise… definitely wasn’t though.

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    Absolutely! The animals are dispersed, due to all the water and vegetation. Very hard hunting!

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    Final day: i’m nothing but an honest man, so I will tell you straightforward that I made a mistake on our itinerary. I misread the dates, and thought we had an additional day of hunting when we did not. I woke around 5 AM, looking at my itinerary, formulating a plan for the following day, when I...

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    Day 7: At dinner the night prior, Phillip informed us that we would be traveling to another neighboring farm approximately 1.5 hours away in search of Kudu. We hunted all day, spotting female Kudu, wildebeest, oryx, zebra, Steinbok and warthogs. We decided not to stalk any of these animals in...

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    Day 6 continued: After recovery of the sable we returned to the lodge where we spent time with Philip and the crew at the skinning shed. We ate a very nice lunch and rested until 4 PM. We sat out again looking for Kudu and Wildebeest. We drove around for a while, spotting a very nice old...

    Day 5: We hunted close to the lodge during the morning. We saw many animals, however, did not attempt a stalk. We returned to the lodge for lunch and decided to take the evening off. We rested for the remainder of the day, enjoying camaraderie with the staff and the young “ German army”. Philip...

    Day 4: After recovery of the Oryx, we ate a quick field lunch and rested for a while in the shade. The goal for the afternoon was to find a Hartman‘s Zebra or Kudu. We chose to travel to a different area of the farm to begin the afternoon. This area was much more dry than the southern areas...

    Everyone please excuse my grammatical errors as this is being done from my phone and not MacBook. Day 4: We started early at 6 AM as we were off to Terra Rossa. This is a neighboring farm owned by a very nice man by the name of Thomas. On arrival to the farm we picked up Thomas’s man and off...

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    I chose Turkish due to pricing but I ended up flying Delta on the return. The highlands have been blessed with significant rains filling all the dams (ponds). Philip has the second largest dam in the area measuring several acres. He also has numerous other dams on the hunting properties...

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    Day 1: We were met at the airport by Rick and Linda who work with Philip. Very sweet people! We had several good discussions on the 1.5 hour ride to camp as Rick has a wealth of travel experience from Australia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. We arrived in camp on Wednesday evening around 6 where zebra...

    NAMIBIA: KHOMAS HIGHLAND HUNTING SAFARIS (Report)

    I’ve long dreamt of hunting Africa. As far back as I can remember, I’ve been consumed with Africa. The fauna, flora, folklore, all culminate in what can only be described as truly fascinating. If you have ever read Hunter by JA Hunter or Death in the Long Grass, you have likely become ensnared...

    I agree. I’ve been part of this forum for years and have conducted countless transactions with more members than I can count. This is a very unfortunate and unwanted situation. Obviously mistakes were made here and effort was made resolve those. I have no dog in this fight. Ultimately, it is the...
