There are strict firearm\/ammo import and export rules. You&#8217;ll be required to fill out a litany of forms, many of which must&nbsp;be carried&nbsp;with you during your African stay. Depending on your Dark Continent destination, some of you&nbsp;will have to&nbsp;meet pre-hunt medical requirements. Not to mention that Tambo <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/kalashnikov-opens-shop-moscow-airport\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-lessons-learned-from-africa\" title=\"Lessons Learned From Africa\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"506\">International Airport<\/a> in South Africa, where you will fly regardless of your final destination, is massive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My hunt group&#8217;s best decision was to invest some extra&nbsp;coin&nbsp;and enlist the services of Gracy Travel International. The process was simple and inexpensive, and when you book with Gracy, an expert walks you through everything you need. They send you all the necessary forms and keep you on track to get everything filled out and returned promptly. Also, a member of Gracy Travel met us at Tambo International Airport and walked us through retrieving our firearms and <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/ammo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-lessons-learned-from-africa\" title=\"Lessons Learned From Africa\">ammunition<\/a>. When we returned to fly home, the same individual handled the process in reverse. Throughout the entire travel process, I never felt anxious or worried.

What List?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent two months before my African adventure creating my species list. I revised it multiple times. Our hunt sponsors (Leupold, Browning, and Winchester) asked us to build a list. We&nbsp;were asked&nbsp;to create the list in order of importance from first to last. My final draft read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Red Hartebeest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blue Wildebeest&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kudu<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Black Wildebeest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warthog<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Impala<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>On the first day of my hunt, after a failed stalk on a&nbsp;big&nbsp;red hartebeest, Charl&nbsp;and my&nbsp;buddy and big-game hunting legend Scott Haugen spied a Cape eland.&nbsp;Both about dropped their binos. Charl whispered that it was the biggest Cape eland he&#8217;d ever seen. When I told him it wasn&#8217;t on my list, Haugen laughed and said, &#8220;If you don&#8217;t shoot&nbsp;him,&nbsp;I will, and I don&#8217;t have a Cape eland on my list either.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ElandStalk6.24.9-copy-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Hunters in bright green landscape\" class=\"wp-image-204920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ElandStalk6.24.9-copy-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ElandStalk6.24.9-copy-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ElandStalk6.24.9-copy-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ElandStalk6.24.9-copy-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ElandStalk6.24.9-copy.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I shot the monstrous 1,800-pound creature\u2014Africa&#8217;s largest antelope from 226 yards with my Leupold-topped .300 Win.

If you&#8217;re a hunter and like to shoot, Africa is your place. Just remember, there&#8217;s a price tag attached to every trigger pull. Show discipline and keep a running total of your harvest. However, have extra dollars on hand for those times when you see\u2014and it will happen, I promise\u2014an animal that isn&#8217;t on your list that you can&#8217;t live without.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3498-1024x672.jpeg\" alt=\"Hunter with Cape bushbuck from Africa\" class=\"wp-image-204923\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3498-1024x672.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3498-400x262.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3498-150x98.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3498-768x504.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3498.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This Cape bushbuck wasn\u2019t on the author\u2019s list.

Right now is the best time to hunt Africa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many outfitters shut down for several years during COVID-19, and out-of-country hunting ended.&nbsp;This&nbsp;allowed animal populations to build and for more trophy-sized animals to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, because of the influx of animals, prices are down. For instance, this hunt marked Hauge&#8217;s 16th African&nbsp;safari. His goal was to harvest a roan and a sable. Though he&#8217;d seen and could have killed both species multiple times on past trips, the price was too high.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DSC02560-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Hunter in grey field with large sable \" class=\"wp-image-204924\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DSC02560-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DSC02560-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DSC02560-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DSC02560-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DSC02560.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Scott Haugen with a record-class sable.
