Truly said that trophies
are not dead animals, but living memories.
Trophies serve not only as proof of opportunity,
but they call up the fondest of memories of daring,
hardship, good friends and the smell of
wood smoke from a campfire.

ABOUT
THIS HUNTING OUTFITTER:
-
This
Safari is offered by the hunting outfitter division
of a privately owned game reserve situated in the
great Limpopo River Valley, on the border between
South Africa and Botswana.
-
The
operation is headed by a well known professional
outfitter, assisted by three full-time Professional
Hunters [PH] and a multitude of specially equipped
hunting vehicles, game Trackers, Skinners,
administrative staff and lodge staff.
-
As
they only accept limited clientele, the reserve is
self sufficient of trophy animals. They have some
4000 animals on the reserve. You are therefore not
only guaranteed above average trophies, but also a
safari where game is not over hunted to such an
extend that they are bewildered and skittish. This
is truly a natural environment.
-
Unlike
with unfamiliar hunting concessions – on which
safaris are often scheduled - we live in the reserve
24/7 and know the land like the palm of our hands.
-
We are
in unison with nature - we analyse the habits,
territories and roaming areas of our game day in and
day out and know where the real trophies hide.
