    SOUTH AFRICA: South Africa With Unico Safaris

    Day 2 I was up about 6:30 and shoes brought coffee a little before seven. Andre was waiting for me when I got to the dining room and after breakfast we took off. Once on the hunting area we started seeing Nyala bulls. Several nice ones but not the horn configuration I was looking for. After...

    SOUTH AFRICA: South Africa With Unico Safaris

    Day 1 continued We left camp a little before five to go sit in the blind. One of the trackers brought fresh bait to sweeten the pile and we got settled in for the evening. Shortly after sunrise, the full moon came up and there was no wind. For the next three hours, it was dead, silent no...

    Blackbuck Hunts

    Argentina is a great destination no doubt, I have hunted there countless times over the past 25 years. That being said, at the @RESERVE RANCH we offer an equal level of service with excellent trophies at a lesser overall rate if you factor in air travel, day rates, trophy fees, trophy prep...

    SOUTH AFRICA: South Africa With Unico Safaris

    We arrived London just after noon, the flight was an hour late leaving Houston. I have not used BA in years and I must say I was a bit disappointed. I chose this route based on budget and travel time. This is the first Business Class flight I have ever been on that did not serve a drink...

    SOUTH AFRICA: South Africa With Unico Safaris

    It was been over two years since my last Safari but I am finally headed back across the pond! Most of 2024 was consumed with my construction project building the new trophy room @RESERVE RANCH and having my right knee replaced. My daughter Jordan just completed her second year at the Texas...

    Anyone fly British Airways to South Africa lately?

    We are headed out in a couple of weeks and booked BA through Heathrow since not traveling with guns and the best rate in Business Class. I haven’t been through London in nearly 30 years so curious what to expect for airport lounges, shopping, etc as we have a 7 hr layover. Any input would be...

    I’ve known Strang for years and hunted with him several times. He’s a great outfitter and become a good friend over the years. The ranch is fenced but is absolutely fair chase IMO. https://www.africahunting.com/threads/zambia-bowhunt-bow-hunt-with-strang-middleton.64328/
