The 50,000 Acre concession you will hunt on is a truly wild place where you will encounter the BIG 5 whilst hunting hard for trophy quality animals.
This outfitter knows the area well and he will be your personal PH on the hunt. This area supports healthy herds of Cape buffalo with plenty of old Dagga boy bulls to be found.
Some of the best Nyala and Kudu in the whole of Africa can also be found in this area.
You will hunt hard on the search for your trophy Cape buffalo bull, the thick terrain here will make for a challenging hunt. You and your PH will track the buffalo on foot, searching for an old Dagga Boy with hard bosses and worn horn tips.
You should have good nerves for this hunt as shots will be close and Cape buffalo are notoriously tough.
A minimum calibre of 375 H&H is required for this hunt and you practice plenty before the hunt.
A well placed shot on the bull of your dreams may need to be followed up with several others!
After all there is a reason these animals are called "Black Death"!
You will stay in a comfortable 3.5 star lodge, with 3 meals daily, snacks and drinks provided.
You will also have the privilege of being the ONLY hunters in camp during your hunt. This outfitter prides themselves on personal experiences and unforgettable memories. This is not a hunt with a high volume outfitter. This is a truly wild and special experience.
This is a great hunt to take an observer with you as you will have plenty of great photo opportunities and chances to experience the BIG 5 on this concession.
The hunting here is a combination of spot and stalk where you and your PH will leave the lodge in the morning, glassing down into the many valleys and draws and walk and stalk where you will cover lots of ground on foot.
You will look over lots of nice trophy animals but it is a true hunting experience and you will put in some real hunting and tracking to find an old Dagga Boy.
Once your dream animal has been spotted you will stalk in with your PH to get into a shooting position.
You will shoot off of shooting sticks so please practice before your safari!
You should also practice reloading and follow up shots.
You will generally head back to the lodge for lunch if time permits and then head out tracking and stalking in the afternoon. If you are out hunting hard in the bush you can expect to have lunch in the field.
You will return to the lodge in the evening to enjoy a nice meal and locally made beer or wine.
Once your trophy is harvested the expert skinners will skin the trophy as per your desires, it is then tagged and put into the salt for delivery to the taxidermist shortly after your safari.
