Well, my 19-year-old son and I just returned from our first safari with Hendrik Botha at Matwetwe Safaris, and this little blip will be just a teaser for the full day-by-day report that will follow, shortly.
Going back to the planning stage 18 months ago, we had good reviews from people we knew who have hunted with Matwetwe, some of them returning several times. That, alone, should tell you something about their operation. Needless to say, we high expectations going in.
In summary, all I can say is that Hendrik, his son Harm and their entire staff blew those expectations out of the water, in every way, shape and form!
From the accommodations, rooms, food, cleaning and laundry staff, camp staff, trackers, skinners, availability of game and their knowledge of the animals we hunted and land we traveled...the entire trip was fantastic.
End result was 7-days of rifle hunting with 8 animals harvested and one day of bird hunting with 64 birds harvested (10 different species), couldn't be any happier.
Stay tuned to this station for more good stories...
