A 1'st Taste of Africa | John X Safaris

Andy Nichols and Lorraine Washburn joined John X Safaris for their first taste of Africa. Andy hunted his dream Kudu and Lorraine made the most of the world-class game viewing opportunities on offer in the East Cape.
Of course there were many highlights along the way, but they best summed it up upon their return home...
"Our time with John X Safaris exceeded all our expectations. This was our first trip to South Africa and will not be our last. The whole experience was amazing from photo safari side trips, exceptional food to challenging hunts. I feel this was so much more than a hunting trip. It was truly the adventure of a lifetime."
Grab your gear and join them on their adventure!

I own a 6.5 PRC and recognize the Hornandy bullets, probably 143 gr ELDX. I would have never thought about taking it to Africa for plains game but it looked liked it did damn well. A lot of one shot stops, whereas I would have probably brought something bigger inn caliber.

[@JohnXSafarisExperience]

The 6.5 can most certainly do the job, but the room for the smallest of error is problematic. If you’re after the bigger plains game then bring a bigger caliber, but if your hunting the medium to small sized game then the 6.5 will do just fine. 👍👌

[@sheepdawg6946]

@@JohnXSafarisExperience Thank you for the prompt reply. Would love to hunt with your team one day. Happy New Year.

[@JohnXSafarisExperience]

@@sheepdawg6946 we would be privileged to host you on safari!

[@hedge7743]

Awesome video as usual! My question is, I have noticed that many of the John X clients shoot rifles with muzzle brakes. I have heard many times that the guides and their staff hate muzzle brakes due to the report. Can anyone give some guidance based on their experience? Thank you!

[@JohnXSafarisExperience]

The muzzle breaks are unfortunately part and parcel of rifles today. Luckily the technology on ear protection has improved tremendously which makes it slightly safer on the ears these days 👌👍

[@dr.s.p.]

Great hunt and a great presentation indeed.

[@reinhard0069]

The PH seems very knowledgeable and a really nice guy.
