Start of the 2024 season and a fine celebration of Seth and Julie's 15th wedding anniversary - hunt and vacation in South Africa. Jason and I had an absolute blast with these fine folks from Nevada.

Most excellent Victor.
 
Richard and his son Adam returned to hunt over Easter with us. They had an outstanding hunt, the highlight was Adam's two kudu. Eland, nyala, duiker and both klipspringer were hunted within 800 yards of Karoo Wild Lodge.

Tim and 2 friends from the UK hunted with us in late April. Jason and Jaco guided them to some fine trophies. I've posted Tim's trophy pics. The Tiny Ten was in his sights and he took five with us in this trip. His friends didn't want their photos posted and I didn't want to blur faces out.

We hope to hunt the remainder of the tiny ten with Tim in 2026 in Limpopo and KZN - suni, blue duiker, oribi, red duiker and sharpe's grysbok.

Richard and wife, Lin travelled from Idaho, USA to hunt and vacation with us in South Africa. Richard was successful on hunting the spiral slam.
They visited Addo Elephant National Park where they had good sightings of elephant and buffalo.
Thanks for hunting and vacationing with us.

We had a fantastic hunt Troy and his wife Melissa in 2023 and were very excited to see Troy again in 2024. Marc accompanied Troy on his 2 on 1 safari with Jason as their PH.

Their hunting safari got off to a slow start due to a winter storm but they made up with it as the weather improved. There were many highlights and some lucky moments. Notably, a pack of dogs treeing a caracal whilst they were out hunting. Troy got a kudu, duiker, caracal and bushbuck. Marc hunted a sable, kudu and gemsbok.

Excited for 2025 hunt for spotted hyena and klipspringer in Limpopo! It's going to be another cracker of a safari

We were excited to welcome Kai to South Africa. Kai had initially planned to hunt with us in May 2023. Due to airline issues, we re-scheduled to May this year. Kai booked our 11 day plains game package and made the absolute most of his hunt, shooting some special trophies.

He had some once in a lifetime wildlife experiences, including a close encounter and mock charge with elephant while out hunting.

We welcomed a large group of friends from Montana and Tennessee on a plains game hunt with us in July. Stacy hunted with Jaco as his guide, Jason guided Ken and Rob on their hunt and I toured with Andrea and Melinda showing them some of the highlights of the Karoo.

We split the 8-day hunt with some time at Karoo Wild Lodge and a few days in our Camdeboo concession hunting a variety of plains game. Stacy had the first African hunt of a lifetime taking over 20 animals during his safari including 2 black backed jackal, roan, sable, kudu, eland, nyala, golden wildebeest, common and black impala, a variety of blesbok and springbok colour variants, duiker, steenbok, black wildebeest and red hartebeest. He wasn't quite down done and took down the klipspringer of the season high up in the mountains above the lodge on the last morning.

Ken hunted our Kudu Hunting Package and got a fantastic kudu, gemsbok, impala and springbok. He also hunted a waterbuck, baboon and black wildebeest. Rob chose our Karoo Special Package and hunted a kudu, impala, springbok, zebra and added an eland, nyala, bushbuck, blue wildebeest, steenbok, duiker and sable to his hunt.
