One year ago I went to Kido Safaris with my youngest brother, it was the first time to Africa for either of us. I've been slow getting a video together of our safari, but finally got it done, it's a mix of still photos and video. There was a young man who was helping out on the safari and he did a bunch of video, plus my brother and I did some. The focus was always on the hunt and not on making a video, so it's kind of shaky, not always on the animal, etc. This is long at 42 minutes and was to show family and friends who have never been to Africa, but if you're bored and feel like it, give it a watch. I would like to concentrate on getting better video next time, but I know me and next time the focus will still be on hunting over filming. I live in the middle of no where with internet speeds that don't even equal smoke signals, so the video had to be compressed to get it to upload and quality sure took a nose-dive with the compression, but without further excuses - here it is.
My brother and I each got 9 animals, if you want to skip to a certain animal here are the approx. times;
Kudu 4:07 we got both kudu in the same spot
Common Reedbuck 9:44
Rob's Impala 11:43
Zebras 13:08 these were miles apart from each other
My Impala 16:57
Nyalas 20:49 these were in different areas
Warthog 24:05
Blue Wildebeest 26:46
My 2nd Impala 28:28
Giraffe 29:58
Springbuck 33:23
Gemsbok 34:03
Black Wildebeest 35:14
Springbuck 36:12
Rob's 2nd Impala 38:03
 
I would be very proud of your first time video on your first time African hunt. I only hope I can bring home something of that quality next year on my first hunt!
 
Thanks for sharing your hunt with a great video!
 
That was a really good video, I enjoyed it a lot!

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
