Day 6 and 7. Both days we are hunting zebra. On the stalk of day 5, 6, and 7 we hiked 6-10 miles per day. On day 7, we spotted Zebra mixed in with wildebeest. Both animals are exceptionally skittish. After a lot of effort, we stalked a large older stallion, set up the sticks. One last time the whisper “shoulder” and boom, went about 50 yards and Diesel found him. It was a 154 yard shot.
We also went fishing for tigerfish on Jozini lake the last day. It was beautiful, but the fish were not biting that day. We didn’t care, we had the time of our lives. Before landing the boat, there were hippos and crocodiles we had to wait on for safety reasons. My wife vindicated herself but jumping in the lake knee deep to proudly walk in. They made her an official Zululander at that point. I could not have picked a better place or a better professional hunter than Conrad Fick. He is a third generation PH, with hight standards, a ready laugh, and just a wonderful individual. They have a great crew including Henno, Manla, and Ruan who is the lodge manager and has one of the most infectious laughs I have ever heard. We loved him. Abudl the chief is top notch. How could the food be any more delicious, it couldn’t. And of course, the super dog Diesel, hard worker, fearless, super intellgent Blue Healer.
If you are considering an African hunt I give my highest recommendation to Mpeti Safaris and Conrad Fick.
