Good luck Will on your upcoming safari for buffalo in the ARDA region of the Save! Shoot straight my friend and give Thierry my best. You two make for a great safari. Can't wait for your report.

agreed, good luck Will.

Will has a track record of great safari luck and wish him the best on this one. He is going to run out of space in that new trophy room.

Stay cool, Will....may your good luck continue.

+1.

Travel safe, shoot straight and shoot often.

Looking forward to another fantastic report.

Wishing you the best Will!

Thanks all.

I'm running over my list a few more times and soon will zip the bag.

I laugh as I look at the tiny carry on and the small day pack that hold my kit for the next 11 days. It takes me back to that first safari 14 years ago. That "body bag" duffle held 75 lbs of ammo, clothes, candy, needless equipment, and (no joke) three boxes of pop tarts.

The only mixed feelings that I have involve my making this trip all alone. A dozen prior international adventures and twice as many in the lower 48 have always included some combination of parents, grandparents, and my wife. However, I will forge ahead, albeit alone.

Thanks again and look for a report around November 7.

Cheers,

Will, the best on the return trip. Hope there is a full menu.

Mike

Good luck Will, have fun.

Will

Good Luck and Fair Winds

Give it horns Will!!

Will: Been there, done that, on an October solo safari as well in Zim. Enjoy it anyway! You'll soon be back to the devil's craft! LOL! Good luck and God speed!

Hey Will

It just got seriously hot in the Lowveld of Zim - midday tempretures reaching 110F. You should probably throw in a bunch of those rehydrating sachets for those "short strolls" after Dagga boys!

All the best.

Best of luck Will !!!

No offense to the relatives, but you are about to discover the best way to hunt Africa!!

Good hunting Will... or good Will hunting... or... nevermind. Have fun!

Good luck Will.

Can't wait for the report.

Nnnniiiiccccceeeeee.....

Don't forget the Chilly Pads and battery operated camp fan!

Good luck will

Do you have a packing list you can post? I definatly took to much stuff on my first safari. I would like to lighten the load considerably this time around.

Chilly pads, two fans, and 16 D cell batteries vs. 119F.

I'm betting 119F wins that battle.

Maybe I'll lose a few pounds.

In JNB, about to head to HRE.

Out.

Good luck brother

Will,

Have fun and BE COOL!!

But it's a dry heat...

Well, it should be any time now we hear about the big bull Will has shot.

Perhaps more than one.

As I remember, Will had a couple of buffalo on his ticket. Possibility of another Elephant, too.

Good Luck Will looking forward to a report
