Well I did a horrible job of posting my photos from the S. Africa trip from two years ago. I do have some pics on the Abowyer website but I am pretty much lost when it comes to posting here. I am heading back to Africa soon though, this time to Mozambique for free range cape buffalo. A very primitive hunt...pretty much jungle spike camping. Working up my heavy bow/arrow combination for the trip and will bring addtional light set-up in case I have time for other plains game after the buff hunt. My nephew (Marine Corps)- teaches special forces units from other countries weapons and tactics. He's going to hunt with a 375HH on the trip and he'll be great to have since he's a field medic and weapons expert. I'll "try" to do better on this trip with posting photos and taking more of them. I leave Sept. 6th, so just a few months to go!!

Thanks Guys, Much appreciated. I have not looked back at this for some time, We'v done some serious hunting out there since then! But its stuff I can't post here (wrong bow) Some serious walk and stalk bowhunting adventures through.
Been hunting Australia and the US pretty hard recently....Africa is starting to call again though.....We have a Survival type Backpack trip in the planning stages.

Man I love this thread. I went through Kenya and Tanzania a few years back. When you go to Africa it just takes a piece of you and leaves this longing that doesn't go away until you see those vast spaces again.

Incredible pictures you guys. Africa is - at least in terms of landscape - paradise on Earth.
I'm going to Namibia myself in 2 months, and I will get my first chance to shoot game with a traditional bow. Where abouts in Namibia did you go? As in, the name of the lodge
