This is my first post, but I have been "LURKING" here for over a year now. I have finally done it and booked my first AFRICAN hunt. S.A. East Cape. My wife of 21 very patient years will be tagging along. I would like to thank everyone here for all the info. This would have been an even more intimidating procedure without all the info gathered on this site. Thanks All Jim | ||

Good luck Jim. When do you leave? What animals are on your list? How long is the hunt? What caliber rifle? Oh, and welcome to AR!! John | |||

Hi Jim, I love the Eastern Cape. I leave in three weeks and will finish my trip there. You'll fly into Jo'burg and then down to PE I imagine. There are several good restaurants in PE, seafood being the specialty of several. You should have a great trip and see an awesome part of RSA. Good hunting, David Gray Ghost Hunting Safaris http://grayghostsafaris.com Phone: 615-860-4333 Email: hunts@grayghostsafaris.com NRA Benefactor DSC Professional Member SCI Member RMEF Life Member NWTF Guardian Life Sponsor NAHC Life Member Rowland Ward - SCI Scorer Took the wife the Eastern Cape for her first hunt: http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6881000262 Hunting in the Stormberg, Winterberg and Hankey Mountains of the Eastern Cape 2018 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4801073142 Hunting the Eastern Cape, RSA May 22nd - June 15th 2007 http://forums.accuratereloadin...=810104007#810104007 16 Days in Zimbabwe: Leopard, plains game, fowl and more: http://forums.accuratereloadin...=212108409#212108409 Natal: Rhino, Croc, Nyala, Bushbuck and more http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6341092311 Recent hunt in the Eastern Cape, August 2010: Pics added http://forums.accuratereloadin...261039941#9261039941 10 days in the Stormberg Mountains http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7781081322 Back in the Stormberg Mountains with friends: May-June 2017 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6001078232 "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive.

buthloc, thanks, it feels like winning the LOTTERY. Mike, if the the worst trouble I'm in I'll be a happy camper (LOL). Thanks for the pictures. I have seen your hunting reports and I really enjoyed the day to day reports on your last Safari. I will spend a lot of time looking for a Pangolin ( Maybe I can get them to have one there and ready for me when I arrive ). | |||
