AFRICAN SAFARI
You know it's funny you mention that. I talked to a guy last week and he was telling me about a trip where he watched the baggage hander toss his rifle case off the top of the baggage conveyor in the belly of the plane to the tarmac below. It was a long drop obviously and the goon in the belly of the jet did it purposely and was laughing and made a display of throwing it to the ground when he did it. The guy, his wife and members of their party traveling with them were on the jetway watching the whole thing. His rifles made it through ok but the case was dinged up bad.
The case would be a good investment for sure.

AFRICAN SAFARI
Update - I fly out of Orange County, Ca on 22 August. I'll spend three days in Dakar, and then fly into Jo-berg. From there we will take two days to drive to Namibia. Once there my animals of preference are Kudo (greater), warthog, Red Hartebeast, Zebra (Burchell's), and Nyala. After the hunt we will take two more days to drive back to Jo-berg, and I'll spend a couple days there.

I would try to get pictures of all the vital areas of the animals you will be hunting, especially the kudu and zebra as they are very large. With a 7mm, I would choose premium ammuntion that has a quality bullet such as the swift A-frame or barnes X, in a heavy for caliber weight from 160-175 gr bullets. Also, I would talk with your guide to find out as much info as you could.
here are some forums that could give you a lot of info about african hunting:

AFRICAN SAFARI
Thanks for the info, but I think I have everything pretty much worked out w/the guilde. I've been communicating a lot with them, and of course investigating location of shot, etc... I belong to Safari Club International (Orange County Chapter), so I know a lot of people who have been over there many times.
