Tired of election crap and thought I should get these posted. Made it to Namibia in September after they opened up for international tourist. Flew Ethiopian Airlines out of Dulles. HuntedSeptember 22nd thru Oct 1st. Started on the Waterberg Plateau for buffalo and eland and then to Panorama, Jamy's home camp. Had a wonderful trip and got some good animals.

First day. Early in the hunt so we didn't shoot this one.

REALLY outstanding trophies!

If you flew out of Dulles was the flight direct to Windhoek?

AHR 375 H&H loaded with 300 gr A-Frames at 2570 fps. Bought here on the Fire a couple years ago. Second trip with this combo. Really like it. Have a Kahels 1-6 K16i scope. Shot Zebra and Gemsbok at a lasered 250yds and the Hartebeest at 240yds. Sable was at 200yds. All 4 dropped DRT with high shoulder hits. No tracking of wounded animals is nice.

Dulles thru Addis Ababa then to Windhoek.

I just noticed some pics didn't make it thru. Will try and add later tonight.

Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you! First trip to Namibia. Had a great time. Glad I went when I did. Trip was originally supposed to be in July, but postponed due to the COVID. Thought I would have to push to next year but when Namibia opened up I had a window to get the hunt in and it worked out really well.

Congratulations on a fine trip.

Those pics that show the thorn bush bring back memories from my trip to Namibia. Could not believe all the different types of thorns over there.

Thank you for posting.
