Africa is unreal, so many animals and oppurtunities, youll be glad that you went overboard on the budget.
i desire to return for a zebra, steenbok, kudu bushbuck and nyala.
hey are gonna headmount the zebra or rug it!

Well BPHunter - your hooked - was there last April for a month - had way too much fun - your Eland is exceptional, and you are right - the meat from the eland, wildebeast, kudu, gemsbok is great - notheing like our wild meat here - and I have a great tip for where to hang your warthog if you are doing a shoulder mount.
All my heads are at Mountainview Taxidermy - hope to see them around Xmas. And I am already set up to go back next year - an aquaintance runs BMW dualsport motorbike tours from Cape Town to Northern Namibia & back - riding & camping for 10 days - will be a good addition to another hunt.

Great looking Eland, a nice old mature animal, love all that 'forehead' red hair on those old guys...
Nice side story on the lion.

How much to shoot the lion? Do you get a break on price if you shoot that many animals.

Congrats PB and Mrs PB!!!! Outstanding trip. Africa has been on my mind and my youngest daughter has been talking about wanting to go on a trip there....would absolutely love to do the trip. Out of all the animals, the one that has always held the most interest for me is the Waterbuck.

I like the care and respect you gave the animals in the photos.....they look great. Congrats once again and way to live your dream.......Marco
