Congratulations Vince!
What species are you planning to hunt?
What rifle and loads are you going to use?
It's a year out but it will be here before you know it.

Either cartridge is more than enough. I would say take the one you shoot better. I’ll take my 300 HH and either 257 or the 275 next time. The black wildebeast was the only one I had trouble with, hit him four times in front of the diaphragm to put him down with a 300 win mag. I heard it said a wildebeast is born sick and feels better with each bullet you put in him.
Glad you’re making the trip. That is a very good list you’ve put together.
Those are good prices, particularly on Nyala and Sable.

One pair of shorts, two shirts, four undies, four pairs of socks, and one pair of pants. Plus what I’m wearing on the plane.

Sounds like you’re set. Ring me up when you get back. We think we’ll be in Tucson around Thanksgiving. We’ll have you over for dinner you can regale us with stories from your safari.

They usually offer laundry service every day in camp, At least where I worked.
I just wasn’t happy about my white underwear being returned to me brown from the water when I told him not to touch my laundry! I am perfectly happy doing my own laundry, but I also wasn’t on a tight schedule or a client b

Take a couple pairs of shorts so you can change after the morning hunt. So you always have clean dry clothes on. Monkey butt powder will also be your friend.
I leave in a week for the east cape. Will post the hunt when I get back-
