As promised, I have a more comprehensive recap of my recent African safari hunt with several podcast listeners for you today. I’ll talk about that hunt in more detail today and provide some reflections on how my equipment, especially my new 7mm PRC rifle, performed.
Watch the video of our hunt here (make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel, like that video, and leave a comment).
Email me at john@thebiggamehuntingblog.com and let me know what you'd potentially like to hunt if you're interested in potentially joining me on a hunt in the future. If I get a lot of solid interest from other people who want to join me, that will make my decision to plan a hunt that much easier.

You don’t have to wait until 2024 or 2025 to go to Africa if you don’t want to. Like we said a couple times on our podcast from camp, don’t wait to hunt in Africa if that’s something you want to do. There’s no guarantee that you’ll have the time, money, or physical ability to hunt if you put things off for a year or two. I’ve seen it happen to people FAR too many times to count. We are currently fully booked for 2023, but there are still some openings left for 2024.
I won’t be there to hunt with you, but you’ll be hunting with Kobus, Christian, and/or Johan in that exact same area where Michael, Fernando, and I all hunted. And even though I wont be there in person, just like I did with Mike and Fernando, I’ll also be available to you to help answer questions, sort out logistics, and just do everything possible to ensure your mind is at ease and that you have a fun trip. You can hunt plains game. You can hunt buffalo. You can hunt both if you’d like.
Email me john@thebiggamehuntingblog.com OR visit bestsafarihunt.com to learn a little bit more about these hunts. Make sure to state that you’re a podcast listener and I’ll give you a special bonus I only offer podcast listeners for a plains game hunting and/or cape buffalo hunting safari.
