Can anyone tell me about Man magnum magazine? What are some favorite african mags? (Those available in US)Thanks

Don't know anything about that one. Big Game Adventures is published quarterly, and always has lots of Africa adventures. It's about $25-30 to suscribe.

Man / Magnum is a South African publication (based in Durban). It's mostly about South African hunting, but does often wander across the odd border post. Very good publication. You can contact them at manmagnum@saol.com

Man/Magnum Is a great mag, has lots of interesting view's and great hunting storie's. As Rikkie advise's it is available through there web site on subscription.

If you enjoy African hunting the magnun is the best, there is also the African hunter and the Sporting Gazzette .

I liked the (few) copies of Magnum I have managed to lay my hands on. However, if memory serves, quite a few of the articles were in Afrikaans - not my strongest side...

There are 4 African magazines that I enjoy reading very much.

Hatari
Man Magnum
African Hunter
African Sporting Gazzete

Of all the above, my favourite is Hatari.

Hatari-Times, Man Magnum and African Sporting Gazette are all excellent publications and I'd like to take the opportunity of thanking them, once again, for their respective permissions to post many of their earlier articles, within the "Nickudu Files".

I read every issue of Man Magnum as soon as I get it and it´s a great mag! Some articles are in Afrikaans (about 15%?) but that´s a minor drawback.

For U.S. residents, you can subscribe to Man Magnum magazine via Amazon.com That's how I started my subscription. On Amazon's site, do a search for "man magnum magazine". (No need to use the quotes in your search phrase.)

I've bought quite a few Man Magnum issues while in southern africa, and liked them a lot. I'd say they're worth subscribing to.

I do think though that Hatari Times is still the king of african hunting magazines (although not quite as good as the first couple of years were, when it was new).

I agree with you on that Harold Wolf is a little more interested in something else these days. Still the top magazine in the biz.

The biggest problem with Hatari is you never know when the damn thing is going to show up. Must be nice to not have dead lines to answer to.

I am not so sure that Harold doesn't also produce the magazine in a few other languages. I don't know how a guy that serious about hunting could live in Belgum. I know that there are a lot of gunmakers in Liege, but why not produce the magazine in the States, Canada, or Africa? Don't send the offensive emails yet, I lived in Spain, Turkey, and Iceland for years at a time each. I love Europe, I just think it would be easier to do someplace else.

The other thing about Magnum not listed is that you get all the great hunting contacts for South Africa through it.

It reminds me alot of the Texas Trophy Hunter magazine, but much better put together and less commerical. No offense TTHA!

I take the same ones as Saeed..I like them all and advertise in them all from time to time, if I get a notion. I like Harold Wolfe best as he picks a different caliber every issue, builds one and then takes it hunting...I had his 10.75x68 issue and can't find it now, but I am still looking..I have issues of all the these and US gun mags going back years...

When traveling through Joburg, you can pick up a copy of Man Magnum for a few Rand at the larger book store in the terminal, makes for good reading at camp for you and the PH.
