Namibia hunt. - 08/15/18
I am posting in the LR forum as there has not been many LR hunting posts lately and on our trip to Namibia we had a 'long range kill' if you can put it that way and through I would share it as part of the 'story'.
We have good friends in Namibia that we regularly visit which always involve plenty of shooting and hunting. The drive is a little more than 1000 miles and involves crossing the border near the town Upington at the Ariamsvlei border post. This does take a fair bit of time as we need permits to temporarily export our rifles which does take some admin at the border at both sides. The first day we cover about 650 miles and stay in the town Grunau, which basically consists of a gas station and a hotel.
The photos below was taken near Grunau.
Not quite the pick-ups you guys in the States drive but it was loaded pretty full.
Not a lot of traffic
