this time tomorrow night i will be leaving Dallas to London, on to Joburg, on the Kasane, Bots, then vehicle to the Caprivi- no overnight stops but lots of air/ground time. i figure i will arrive in camp about 19:00 on 23 Oct. huge PITA but like most folks here, i will do whatever it takes to get back to Africa- including 50+ hours of travel......

buffalo and if there are any left over "own use" elephant permits, that too. in fact it may become a left over quota clean up, but that remains to be seen. Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||

well, sitting in the Admirals Club at DFW with a nice adult beveridge. the short hop( 3 hours)is done, now the long hauls begin. I figure by the time I pitch up in the Caprivi I will have been traveling about 52 hours including layovers. is it worth it? HELL, YES!!! Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||

these days you'd nearly be better off looking at LA-Sydney-J'Bourg fly over the Pacific rather than through Dallas and London. Good luck - soounds like FUN!! A day spent in the bush is a day added to your life Hunt Australia - Website Hunt Australia - Facebook Hunt Australia - TV | |||

LAX>SYD>JBG 32 hours on Qantas, including layover in Sydney. That is the long flight too (into the wind). Coming back is 3-4 hours quicker I think A day spent in the bush is a day added to your life Hunt Australia - Website Hunt Australia - Facebook Hunt Australia - TV | |||

I actually looked into that route but using ff miles and refusing to fly coach limits my options Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… | |||

Best of luck and have a great safari. Never had a bad safari in all my life, and I hope you never do either. | |||

Yeah I suspected so. Anyhow - I posted it here as much for the future benefit of others on the US west coast, traveling to southern Africa. May not say much in actual time in the air but might save a plane change? Anyhow - have a big time over there!

Have a great flight and hunt. You chose the best route, it's only 10-11 time zones going "eastbound and down." meanwhile I fly westbound and hope to get up above your area next week for a couple days looking for deer in the Sierras. I think you'll have better views of game! SAvor every glimpse and smell. +-+-+-+-+-+-+ "A well-rounded hunting battery might include: 500 AccRel Nyati, 416 Rigby or 416 Ruger, 375Ruger or 338WM, 308 or 270, 243, 223" -- Conserving creation, hunting the harvest. | |||
