this time tomorrow, i will be somewhere over the mid Atlantic enroute to Dubai, then Joburg. overnight, then on to Kasane, then 3 hour drive to the Caprivi. i am looking forward to another successful elephant hunt with Karl S. my fiancee is going along on her first safari- i think t will be fun to see things through fresh eyes( especially when we close on elephants for the first time)....we will spend 3 days in Kasane/Chobe Nat Park and 4 days in Vic Falls after the hunt before heading home- 3 full weeks counting travel time. in spite of my "advice", she has insisted on over packing. oh well she will know better next time....

Cure for over packing: packer of the luggage carries it.

Sound like a great trip Jerry! Good Luck!

Have a great trip and stay safe.

Hope you have a good time and break her in easy!

Jerry,

Have a great & safe safari. Say "hi" to Karl.

I'm envious! Enjoy.

Jim

Envious to say the least!

Have a great time.

And don't worry too much about over packing - just let her carry the bags

I love your optimism!

Have a great trip, and if you happen to bump into FredBez in Namibia please tell him BillC said Hi!

Have a great trip Jerry!

Have a good one.

Jerry:

Enjoy and stay safe most of all.

George

Have fun !

Jerry, you and yours have a safe and enjoyable adventure. We all know that you can do a three week Safari with only a change of clothes and a toothbrush, but give your Lady a break!! Again, travel safe, have a great time.

After 37 years of marriage and about a dozen overseas vacations, I've learned that Wifezilla will never learn about over packing.

There is the better to have it and not need it thing. Plus she will be looking good and smiling the whole time.

Have a great trip.

That was Dave Van Horne`s home run call...and its up,up and away!!
Dave Van Horne and Duke Snider were the expos announcers.

Good luck. We look forward to the report!

I hope conditions are not too wet, not to say flat out flooded. This time of year can be tricky in the Caprivi. But I hear that the wet season was on the dry side this year. Good luck!

Elephant down and done on day 3. More to follow. Fantastic hunt with leisure time underway.

Congratulations!

Congratulations on the Ele. I shot mine with Karl on day 2 of my hunt. How is Karl's new camp on the banks of the Zambezi? It was under construction when I was there. Tell Karl Tom Zlakowski said hello. Now that your Ele is down, go catch some Tiger fish.

Glad to hear the great news! Congrats!

Congrats on your elephant. I also can't wait to hear your report on Chobe NP... I hear you can see elephant herds approaching 500 and buffalo over 1000?

Vic Falls was fun. Enjoy!!

Jerry,
E-mail Nigel Theisen (my PH friend you helped buy a pellet rifle) and let him know you are in the Falls. He lives there now and he will be home while you're there.

I was just there a couple of weeks ago.

Up, up and away...Not Duke Snider but Superman on the radio and later TV. Without that you couldn't tell if Superman was flying on the radio.

Have a great trip! Looking forward to the hunt report.
