From what I have read it doesn´t mention hunting anywhere.

 

[FlowHamed18]

Yes, you are right.

That's one of the reasons why I asked, if someone knows a little bit more about this Reserve

Just as an info for all those who are interested.

I recently found a video on YouTube where this area is mentioned

What’s your interest in this specific reserve? I was offered a hunt here several years ago but wasn’t interested. From what I understood at that time, a portion of the reserve is set aside for hunting and a portion just for photographic safaris.

Sorry for the very late reply...

Yes it seems so that there are several areas - the one for hunting is approx. 8.000 ha (approx. 20.000acres) large with self sustaining buffalos...

Will be hunting there in August this year for eland, wildebeest and buffalo - the info and feedback I got seemed quite consistent and honest.

Should be a fair hunt starting from waterholes and stalking eg the buffs from there into the thick stuff...

I am keeping you informed ;-)
