Brilliant! Hopefully in due course I can experience it vicariously though yourself. Just the very thought of it gets my blood up!Yes, it looks like we going.
It's just that I am rapidly running out of kidney's to sell...

We are using these folk to take away the pain of firearms and Jo'Berg transfers.
In the big scheme of things - this is the best value money spent on any trip through SA.

If and when I get to Moz, it will be via jo Berg and with rifle
I had hoped to get an onward connection without having to deal with the firearms dance in SA
I will engage their services to simplify things
Cheers for that pal

I think you would get a more genuine experience of Safari if you sent me a fcuking huge wad of cash - that's the real Safari experience right there.
Same goes for anyone else out there...

Well our 'transport officer' has now booked us all on the flights from Jo'Berg to Pemba.
It's all starting to feel a bit real now...
Mind you, he has just gone and ruined it a bit by having the temerity to ask me to pay for my share...
Dont forget to take cash for "tips" at Joberg "Hi im the person that makes sure your rifle makes it onto the plane , we love it when we get English Hunters you always give the best tips " .... standing in uniform infront of a large sign telling people not to give anyone any tips ....

The last time I was in Jo'berg airport, I saw a 'porter' go to a female behind one of the desks and get her to write out a 'chit' that said my bags were over the weight limit and could I pay the 'fine' in cash.
So, obviously my bags put on weight between LHR and Jo'berg.
Needless to say, I didn't and he got a short sharp lesson in ancient Anglo-Saxon.
Just one of the plethora of reasons I hate the place.
3 sets of "tips" i had to dish out at Jo berg
You have got me looking at flights tho

In my limited experience, every single f**king border crossing in Africa is manned by the same family of utter c**ts !!

On my last trip to SA the staff booking the rifles and Ammo boxes in for the connecting flight made it quite clear that some times the Ammo boxes go missing 
. 150 rand later all booked onto contracting flights , they did not even open any boxes to check the contents. On the way home we booked rifles directly home for SA East London to Heathrow.

Looked at booking straight through but liked to see them to know that they actually made it to Africa with me and not still at Heathrow !

Well now.
I know we do not fly out until October, but I have started to 'locate' stuff I will be taking.
I bought a couple of these a few years back - one for me and one for a mate (who is on this trip).
Not suitable for much in the UK - but apparently (in extremis) you can kill a Buffalo with it.
Recon Scout VG~1 SAN -MAi for the knife buffs.

The Poachers come with 30 round clips, I am just trying to balance the odds...
