Outdoors International get together for a debrief on a recent African Safari.
If you’ve ever thought about an African Safari with or without your family, there is a lot to learn in this podcast. We discuss travel logistics, culture, huge wildebeest, how surprisingly awesome (and tough to hunt) red hartebeest are in person, hunting with your wife and kids, and of course kudu. You can’t forget kudu.

Please take the time to give us a review on iTunes
