I hope you report back next week that you are dining on impala steak and eating warthog goulash.
And not that Lion is dining on Big Five! Sounds like a great place. Can I carry your second musket for you?
No Steenbok on the list?
Hope you have a good time. Post some photos if you can and tell us all about it.

Sorry guys not so good news.Was a nice trip but didn't shoot anything! Yes Nitro there was a lot of Steenbuck but not on my list.Saw 2 nice little rams.The second one a sure Rowland Ward trophy but I did'nt even get a chance to take a picture. I was stalking a big impala ram for about 2 hours when finally a waterbuck bull got spooked and gone was the impala.It is a heavily hunted area and the game is very alert on the slightest noise and smell.It was extremely difficult to hunt there.
Didn't really come home empty handed-you always learn new things.
