Yup. Take lots of pics. You will find yourself re-living that trip over and over every time you look through them. I got back way too long ago (2005) and I sure hope to go back.

Wow... good luck sleeping for the next two weeks!
Africa is on my shortlist to do some day.
Best of luck to you.  Post some pics when you get back!

Joe,
I am taking 2 bows w/ me. Primary bow will be a Rocky Mtn Recurve w/ Maddog limbs. My other bow will be a Sierra Blanca bow. Both bows shoot an aluminum 2020 perfect. Trying woodsmans elites. First time w/ a 3 bladed head on such large animals. See how it goes.

I know you'll take a lot of pics. I always like to see pics of entrance/exit wounds and blood trails. Might be neat to see regarding arrow weight and broadhead. Looking forward to your recap.

I am hunting w/ Thaba-Mahaka. I hunted w/ them two years ago and had a great time. I plan on trying to set up a hunt every year, or at least every other year.

I'm jealous! I have been over there twice and am currently scheming and plotting to make a 3rd trip happen.

Good luck and can't wait to see the pics!
