I am a new guy who just stumbled on this site and I am glad I did.

I hope to take my first trip to either South Africa or Namibia next year for kudu, zebra, impala, warthog, and the like.

Merry Christmas,
Alex

This is the best hunting site on the web. With the best folks as well.

Welcome to this forum.

Yet to take your first trip to Africa? That qualifies you for entering! See here: http://forums.accuratereloadin...2100588/m/3081050711

Good luck!

Welcome

Alex,

Welcome! you will not regret hunting Africa or finding this site. There is much to learn here and great people who teach....DAN

Welcome to the forum!

I am suffering from information overload. As I stated I'm looking forward to hunting the "Dark Continent" late next year. I have been surfing the net looking at all these websites. I am more confused now than before. How does one decide who, where and when.

Alex:

Welcome to AR. You'll find a lot of very good info here from some very experienced guys. Do not hestitate to ask. Compare, cross-check, and do your own research. Deal personally with current references. Do not rely on any single source or individual.

You'll find the research is great fun in and of itself.

Regards........

DC, welcome to AR. I know what you are talking about. But I can now speak with experience. Hve beeen there and done that... Hope to do more of that.

This is what they look like coming for YOU!!

Welcome. You have the best of the best on this site. (I'm not one of them, having only done three safaris), but you can find what you need here. Also, beware. Your first trip will very likely not be your last.

Oh Man! You have just made a TERRIBLE mistake!!!! This wide variety of folks will help convince you to take the first trip ... and your pocket book will NEVER forgive you.

Where to go first? SA for plains game is not a bad choice as there are great PHs and good hunting without the rigor you find in some other places. Some great folks here. Read a bunch of trip reports and see what kinda strikes your fancy.

When you need to go for dangerous game you'll be a bit more seasoned and have developed a sense of who you like better than most here.

BUT be warned!!! You're making a life choice here. Perhaps to be a little poorer financially, but very much richer in spirit and experience!

Have a nice Christmas vacation and a wonderful New Year!

Welcome!
