July 2009 The 2009 season is well underway and all safaris to date have been very successful and enjoyable. Please read more about these safaris on our Hunt Reports page. We have uploaded our 2nd batch of hunt reports onto the site. We will attempt to get these out to you as speedily as possible so please bear with us whilst we wait for our PH's to return from their safaris. We trust that those of you who are still to join us this year are looking forward to your safaris. There have been some truly great trophies taken to date including a superb old Buffalo bull boasting impressive 19" bosses taken in South Africa and another Buffalo hunted in our Botswana area with a massive 47" spread! Other notable trophies include a beautiful 39" Eland Bull, a Blesbok of 17.5", a Gemsbok bull of 40" and a stunning 31" Nyala bull. All the elephant that have come out of our Botswana areas continue to be of great quality and once again Rooipoort, our prime South African plains game area, continues to provide outstanding trophies and is a firm favourite with all who visit there. Please feel free to e-mail us with any suggestions, questions, comments, stories or just simply to say hi.
We wish you all good hunting |

 Aaron Nielson This was my 14th safari to Africa, my 11th lion hunt, and my 8th lion trophy. I can say without a doubt, you guys have the most well-managed, and completely organized safari company I have ever dealt with. From beginning to end, and especially the detail brought about by Teresa with follow-ups, itineraries, help getting medication I needed, etc. I just have not experienced anything quite like it.
