Thanks Gang!!
Hey Y'all,

I have been an AR member for four years. I have been planning my first hunt in Africa for four years as well. Tomorrow I leave for Namibia for my first African hunt with three of my buddies (two are AR members). I just wanted to thank everyone here for your help and patience with us "first timers".

See you in two weeks......

Bob

Wise choice Bob! Namibia is probably the best destination for a first safari!
I have been there twice and I am seriously considering going back again next year.
Where exactly are going to hunt? And with whom?

Have a nice hunt. Smiler
Enjoy your safari and don't forget to stop at Joe's and have a beer for me! beer

Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place
among them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.

Bob, you'll love Namibia and all it has to offer. I'm sure you'll have a great time. I can't wait to see the pics and hear of your adventures.

I'm one of the three tagging along with Bob. Big Grin

I'm truly excited about this first trip. This Forum has been a BIG help. I doubt there's anyplace else online with as much practical experience, an eager willingness to share, advise, and recommend. I know Bob has used all the tips and advise over the past four years to plan a wonderful trip for us!

Tomorrow morning can't come fast enough. Looking forward to my first African experience, and returning with memories, friendships...and a trophy or two.

Bob, dont let the plane ride over get you down. After all your going to Africa.And the plane ride back is a cake walk.


Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;

If anyone enjoys Namibia 1/4 as much as I did they will have an incredible experience.

Good luck.
