To all prospective clients with the above outfitter, hunting in either South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe
BEWARE, the is a short summary of the hunt Sept 2013 in Pafuri Area, Mozambique
Problems with Hunt listed
1] Oral assurance by Mr Juan Pace that we can easily take Lion, Buffalo, 4-5m Croc, Elephant and Sable
2] Area next to Northern Boundary of KNP near Pafuri, multitude of Local Inhabitants along Limpopo River
3] No Game tracks seen during 4 days of tracking and driving in the area- his idea of hunt was to wait by KNP boundary and shoot anything that crosses Limpopo into Hunting area
4] 3 Smallish Pools in Limpopo with Croc, nothing larger than 1.5-2m
5] Hunting camp with insufficient accommodation, only three tents for clients, There were 4 German clients in camp. Tents had to be shared
6] Three PH's to help with Hunt, Mr Mulligan and son Leo, together with Sakkie None of PH's had Rifles to guide clients on Dangerous Game Hunt ( German Clients older than 60y and first time in Africa
7) Hunting Vehicles were inadequate as Mr Sakkie had only a 2x4 Toyota and had to be towed on a few occasions when he was stuck in sand in Limpopo
8) None of the PH's presented us with Hunting Cards to verify legitimacy
9) No Mozambican Fire-arms documentation was supplied by operator, thus we were illegally driving around Mozambique with firearms and were in a precarious legal position if we were stopped by Police or Armed forces.
10) On First Night we were instructed by Mr Juan Pace to camp next to Crooks Corner and await game to cross during late afternoon or early morning. NO bedding supplied except Pep Stores blankets (5) for 5 clients, 2 PH's and 3 camp staff. No cutlery no cups etc, no grid for braaing ( PH used gridded rear end of hunting vehicle ) no coffee, no tent ( Big 5 area )
11) PH suggested we hunt Elephant at night with Maglite and Portable spot light on instruction of Mr Juan Pace
I trust that this gives an account of an outfitter which is damaging to the hunting industry and to PHASA as he is a member. This guy should be struck form the Association and removed form the Hunting Fraternity
