Just bought tickets and sent daily fees to a great friend in SA for a father sons hunt next May. Sons 50 and 45. 50 year old son has been with me twice and this is the first trip for the 45 year old. The 50 year old is telling me buffalo will be involved.
Patrick with Travel with Guns has been very helpful.
My father passed 1 year ago and I am taking both boys in honor of him with inheritance he left. My only wish is that he would be with us but I'm sure he will be watching and smiling.

Sounds like a great thing to do. I'm certain your father would be quite pleased with this.

Sounds like a great trip. Your Dad will be with you, bring one of his hunting knives or hats. Safe travels.

Sounds like a great trip Mike. Can't beat a family hunt for sure. Congrats.

That's a fitting tribute to your father, well done! We'll need a full report, of course

I honestly can’t think of a better way to honor your dad than by taking your sons on a hunt with money he left. I’m sure he’ll be with you guys every step of the way next May. 👍👍

I did the same thing when my Dad died. Took half of the inheritance and set up 529 Trusts for my 4 grandkids college education. The balance paid for my first 3 safaris to Namibia. That’s the way Dad would have wanted it spent.

Only 30 days and we will be on our way. We are all excited especially my youngest so that has never been. Thanks for the suggestion on taking one of dads knives. He was a Case pocket knife fan and we are all taking one of his.
Croc is now on the list. Should be a hell of a trip.
