Best Outfitter for Nyala Spot and Stalk?

[Dewald]

In KZN Gary Kelly Safaris. You are not an outfitter for 50 years for no good reasons. He is the oldest outfitter in SA, as the first PHs in RSA were appointed by KZN Wildlife, namely Gary Kelly, Ian Goss, Tony Tomlinson and Paul Phelen to see if the industry was viable.

Also Hans Vermaak from Coenraad Vermaak Safaris. I’m speaking under correction, but think Coenraad was also part of the initial group appointed. Some have since passed away, but there are no better free range concessions in KZN, as those operated by Gary Kelly and Hans Vermaak.

Can assist you on both Nyala and Bushbuck with bow, walk and stalk.

As has been said many times, KZN is great for Nyala. I would without a doubt recommend Leeukop Safaris. I’ve hunted there multiple times for the last few years. Huge expanses of land with great scenery. Some of the biggest Nyala in the world come out of there and is a place I would guarantee you would see 27” plus. Whether you get one is obviously not something that can be guaranteed. I shot a 28”+ bull 2 years ago and a 31 3/8” bull this year, as attached below. In the year I shot the first bull, my dad shot a 30” and my friend a 31.5”. All walk and stalk.

The Landmans also run an excellent free range outfit. Kemp doesn’t hunt that often any more, but Mfanas is a good PH, as is Steph Cloete from Lloyd Safaris who does most of the hunting there.

He’s too busy chasing boys away from his daughters.

Hi Matt,
Did you see any Bushbuck while hunting your Nyala?

Sabena1,
He has a concession by the Drakensburg Mtn where he hunts bushbuck. I am going there in May. We saw some females where we hunted Nyala but no bucks. He said he has exclusive rights at that property. Anyways I have a feeling it’s like the common reedbuck property where in a day or two you’re gonna find something special. I’m gonna find out!!!

And owning a .550 Magnum helps with that…

You’re 100% right!

Haha I think he will be at that stage soon.

I compared my 450 Rigby round to his 550 Magnum in April. That thing is a beast, but I don’t imagine it’s too fun to shoot or carry through the bush when hunting buff either.
