First post on here and looking for some recommendation and guidance. I have spent hours researching my first trip to Africa and I'm a bit overwhelmed at the information and options available. I'm also trying to narrow down a few to go speak with at the shows next month.
A few things to consider.

My wife will be with me as this is her birthday trip(And I'm the one shooting) so while she's toughed it out with me on sheep and elk hunts better than most men, she'd probably like a little nicer...

The USA has labelled both Canada and the EU as threats to their "National Security" in order to justify new duties declared by their military Commander-in-Chief on the international trade of steel and aluminum.

I think this would be a fun yearly thread. Maybe say what your hunt plans are for 2026 and how your season went in 2025 compared to what you thought/said you were going to do.

Feel free to add photos of your successful 2025 hunts as a recap if you care to do so.
