Hey Jorge, don't dispare about that Navy pay problem. I was in the Navy when I began my attempts to do Africa back in 1968, dragged a .338 Win Mag from Jacksonville to Spain, Sicily, the Azores, Newfoundland and back several times. Did not make it to Africa until 2003, back again in May, 2007, and planning again for 2010. Twenty years in the Navy was only good for hunting whitetails and doves, Then there's Africa!

I have never been to Africa. I've got a CZ-550 in .458 Lott plus a ZKK-602 in .416RM. I intend to make the trek sometime in the next 2-5 years.

Number one animal on the dark continent to me is the Cape Buffalo. Others I'd like to hunt: Kudu, Sable, Eland, Leopard, Gemsbok, Elephant, Nyala.

Bongo, Dwarf Buffalo, Lord Derby, and Harnessed Bushbuck. That is my entire Africa list.
