Beisa Oryx - Rocky Valley safari Ethiopia
 
Fantastic Ethiopian trophies!
 
To say it was a successful trip is putting it mildly . John Ed put me in touch with Rocky Valley safari and within a month my wife and I were in Ethiopia . We first went to the Bale mountain's for the Mountain Nyala. On the first morning I looked over five bull's and decided on this magnificent animal .
The second animal on my list for this area was a spotted Hyena that I got on the third day . Moving to the Dankil / Afar low lands we hunted for the Lesser Kudu , Beisa Oryx , Simmering Gazelle , Gerenuk and Salt Dik Dik .within a few days we got them all .
overall conditions in Ethiopia are not that great but the hunting is fantastic . Got to fill up all the licenses I paid for and in the time remaining we did a cultural tour of some of the tribes in south Ethiopia , very interesting people who live in very primitive conditions .
 
Sir-thanks for posting, I’ve enjoyed your pix and summary. Would love more when you have time to post-too much is never enough!
 
Thanks for the report on a dream hunt! Congrats on all of your trophies!
 
Very nice trophies!! Well done, Sir!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
