I might be interested in this package. What size Buffalo and Nyala can be expected? And all on your property and the connecting Pongola Nature Reserve? All free range and no stocking?

 

[MPETI SAFARIS OUTFITTER]

Hello wesheltonj and thank you for your inquiry. The buffalo will be hunted on our 12,000-acre concession adjacent to the PNR. The buffalo are self-sustaining and a hunter will see solitary bulls in addition to herds with cows, calves, and bulls of various ages. Hunters can expect to look over multiple hard-bossed bulls with a reasonable expectation of one in the 38-42" range, but there are some that are bigger. The vegetation is thick which allows us to stalk in close but also makes for a challenging and proper hunt. The nyala on this concession are abundant and a patient hunter can reasonably expect something over 27" with potentially one much better. I will follow up with a DM as well and, if interested, we can set up a time to discuss in more detail.

Thank you,
Conrad

What other PG are available to hunt in this area?

 

[skydiver386]

Any offer that includes Tiger fish is going to get lots of attention. Sounds like a great deal for that combination.

I'm curious like Fatback is about additional Plains Game that might be available.

 

[Tundra Tiger]

Nice! That would knock off 3 bucket list items and address a desire to hunt a hog on every trip.

 

[MPETI SAFARIS OUTFITTER]

Hello Fatback and skydiver 386!

Yes, we do have additional plains game located on our concession in KwaZulu-Natal that includes: bushbuck, bushpig, common duiker, giraffe, impala, kudu, common reedbuck, steenbuck, warthog, blue wildebeest, and zebra (Burchell's). We have another concession, approximately 2 hours away, where we can hunt most of the previously mentioned species and: blesbuck, eland, fallow deer, mountain reedbuck, red hartebeest, common springbuck, vaal rehebuck, gemsbuck, and sable. This lodge/concession is conveniently located about halfway between our location in KZN and Johannesburg which allows us to break up the drive by hunting there a few days at the beginning or end of a trip.

I hope this answers your question and please let me know if you have any additional questions or would like to further discuss.

We are really looking forward to getting the 2025 season underway. In preparation we have been finishing up the lodge and chalet renovations and I have been spending quite a bit of time on our concessions in preparation for our March clients. While out, I came across this great nyala and was able to get a couple pictures before he disappeared into the bush. He has both great mass and length. I also came across a unique nyala, which I believe to be a cow with horns. I say believe because I talked with several others who thought it was possibly a male without testicles. Either way, it is very interesting to say the least. Good luck to everyone this season and don't hesitate to reach out if you want to discuss anything hunting or fishing related. It's always great to meet forum members and chat!
