In exactly 1 week my wife and I will be landing in Dubai. We will spend 3 days there, then head to Botswana for 9 days. It will be my first pure plains game hunt in about 10 years and I am looking forward to nice relaxing time. I just hope we don’t get sick on the plane flights!!

Have a great trip....and I would imagine cleanliness and food standards will never be higher than in the next few weeks.

If you’re like me, you’ve already packed and re-packed a couple of times. I’ve already started getting ready for my fifth trip to Namibia in May 2019. A big part of the pleasure of an African hunt is the preparation.

Have a great trip.

Thanks guys. This will be a no pressure, fun hunt as I don’t intend to bring anything back. Just enjoy the Bush and shoot a few representative animals. Old, worn down, and broken horns will be fine.

Good luck Jerry!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

We are not taking any preventive meds. It’s a non malarial area in the Kalahari desert and I am not worried about Dubai.

Thanks guys. I checked the weather forecast for Dubai from Friday to Monday. 103-109F! Then I checked Maun for the next week. 98-100F! Of course, it’s a “dry heat” rotflmo

I was here last week...
It was in the 90s in the day..
Check the Ghanzi weather station for current temps.
It was fine in the AM and quite warm in the afternoons (and warming up daily)
