I never got around to publishing a report for the trip my 15 year old daugther (at the time) and I took to Namibia in 2018. I figured with the absence of reports given Covid, I'd write one up. I didn't feel like pasting all the pictures, so please use the shared album link. Enjoy!

Outfitter: Stormberg Elangeni safaris

Rifles: 375 H&H Mauser M03 with 250 gr TTSX & 35 Whelen 1917 Enfield with 225 gr TSX
Arrive/Depart: June 18th/July 2nd
Animals taken: Black (2) and blue wildebeest, impala, waterbuck, blesbok, kudu, red hartebeest, warthog, Hartmann’s zebra, springbok (3), gemsbok (2)

Some nice photos and trophies. It looks like it was quite the adventure for both you and your daughter. What's the story with what looks like a tank smashed in at the top?

Thanks for posting this and yes it's definitely been a rather dry year for folks posting reports new or old.

Those metal tanks were smashed in by elephants trying to get water at the very bottom. It was sad that the water station was no longer operating.
