Thank you South African Airways for losing all my show material. We have now been in the USA for 5 days, with nothing to show for it. It might be delivered on Saturday, three days into the 4 day show in Raleigh, North Carolina.
When life gives you onions, make a quarter pounder.
 
Marius,
It bad,but not worst,all that you can show is in nature at your area! Dont worry,be happpy...

I am really sorry to hear that, and I imagine there is really no recourse against them for the delay?

Thanks guys.
We will try and save the situation and do our best.
 
Marius, sorry to hear your misfortunes. I can't beleive it is five days later, that is unacceptable. Air travel and shipping are my pet peeves ... as a frequent flyer I pay good money for a service and then get told "sorry about your luggage" or "maybe tomorrow for your shipment" . Could any other business get away this? I know you booked a Kudu but we are fresh out ...oh well, maybe in five days one will be around to hunt. Short rant ends.
 
Sorry to hear Marius. Hope that via an internet connection you can make use of your great website. All the best, Jerome
 
What a PITA. They seem to care less. Thats what really ticks me off. Hope they show soon. Bruce
 
Losing rifles, booths, what else...

Hope it arrives before the next leg of your journey.

Good luck.

GEEEZZZ Marius!
 
That sucks! On five hunting trips to africa I have had luggage lost 4 times, not a good average.
 
Yup. Make a quarter pounder out of that onion and show those prospective clients how creative and versatile you are!

They will say "that is a pro I want to be with when the shit hits the fan "!

Hoping the best for you in a less than ideal situation.

I'm sorry this happened to you Marius, but good to see you're keeping a sense of humor about the situation.
 
Love it!
 
im 2 for 2 ,with my kit not turning up , shits you to tears .........
soldier on lad , your professionalism and good character will shine through this little storm .
then loose your shit at the airline, when your gear finally arrives.
 
Sorry Marius....

The board you wrote though is truly priceless and may get you more business anyway!!! :)
 
I still plan on being there tomorrow. God willing and the creek don't rise. Supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow in the morning. Glad I already booked with you. I'm one less you have to impress! Go out and eat some BBQ!

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
