I went to Namibia in late June 2008 on my first African hunt. Plains game this time as a starter. 2 weeks at Holstein Ranchnear Outjo in northern Namibia in central plateau area (kinda near Etosha Park). Great numbers of Gemsbok (oryx), common and mountain zebra, giraffe, springbok, eland, blue and black wildebeast, warthog and hartebeast. Leopard too. Lots of other stuff, but less populous; no shootable trophy kudu and impala as killed off from 2 years of drought (we later found out).
My list was gemsbok, kudu, mountain zebra, wildebeast, warthog, and whatever else was a target my pocketbook could afford. All with my 300 Wby. with a Swift A-frame bullet at 3100 fps. All hard hunting and nothing from the truck. Also sent a Boomslang to hades without head; A black mamba ran through my PH's feet and I missed seeing that thank heavens. We saw puff aders were too. Next time I may take my snake leggings!
On a 10 point scale my first hunt to Africa was an 7/8.
I want to go back to Africa for kudu, eland and sable. If I strike it rich I will go for a leopard and Cape buffalo some day. Eland is worth shooting at a farm in US for the meat as it beats beef filet mignon easily in my book. I am told it is a tough hunt in Africa. My 2 cents.
