Africa – How you’ve been missed….

13th February 2014

Zebra
As our South African Airways planes’ wheels hit the runway at OR Thambo International airport there was an eruption of African voices, a chorus of native tongue engulfed the entire plane. There was a rhythm to their song that one misses when abroad. There’s something about getting back that excites the spirit and makes one want to express the feeling, there’s certainly something about the colors of the earth as one banks for the final approach to the runway. Then the cabin door opens and Africa flows back into your airways and into your blood. It is then that you know you’re back, you’re back home.
As you enter the colorful international arrivals hall you need to stop. Stop for just a minute, take in the maze of busy travelers and vibrant smiling Africans – then look up, look high above the crowd, and it is there that you will find the spirit of Ubuntu….

Eleven official languages, numerous native tongues, dozens of tribes, and yet not one native word for stranger…..Welcome to South Africa”
It has been great coming home from our most successful marketing tour to date. As mentioned in the past and proven once again this year, the United States can be proud of its renowned American hospitality.
To everyone who visited us at the shows or during the numerous get-togethers’, thanks for stopping by and making the time. We enjoyed your company and camaraderie. A special word of appreciation to our hosts for the many cock tail parties and our various teams at the shows who made it all possible.
To those that have secured their next hunt with John X Safaris – Thank you for your continued support and welcome to the family. Those that are still searching for their next African adventure, look no further. We’ve got the areas, game, and experience, to ensure you experience the hunt of a lifetime.

A reminder to our Mexican friends, Jose Miguel Hernandez will be representing John X Safaris at Safari Club Internationals Monterrey Convention from 14 – 16 February 2014. Stop by and visit with Jose about your next African hunt.
As of this stage there are still a couple of openings available for 2014, but space is limited. We have started taking bookings for 2015/16, so if 2014 is too soon for you or if we could not accommodate your preferred date, then drop us a line on hunting@johnxsafaris.co.za , we’d be glad to assist with any safari related interest.
Mountain hunting at it's best!
Thank you once again – you’ve all been incredible! For now it’s over and out – Our busy season kicks off in two weeks time, there’s a lot to get done.
