Out first Safari for the 2022 season has begun
Plaines Game hunt with Ivan and first time African hunter Tamas from Hungary
In preparation of our first hunt that starts on Monday, everyone is hard at work today.
Our first guests for the year has arrived safely and we are in transit back to Limpopo.
Follow us this week as we go after Sable, Kudu and more.
Arrival day
After a long days drive we finally made it back to the Lodge.
Team LBG Safaris were waiting us in on arrival.
DAY 1
First day of our trip
And the first animal taken is a nice Sable bull!
The day started early, our team of hunters were out in search on Sable. After some much appreciated rain early in the season it was hard to follow tracks but everything finally came together.
No knowing where to start the team of hunters decided to stalk some watering holes in hopes to find some Sable tracks. About a two miles into the walk our tracker Michael spotted some movement under a Paperbark tree. The hunters got down and the stalk was on. Crawling through the tall grass and what felt like a eternity, Bossie got Ivan to about 150yards from a beautiful Sable bull. With Ivan now on the shooting sticks ready with the 375H&H the hunters waited for the opportunity. As the bull turned slightly to the left, Bossie gave the command. Ivan took no time to placing the bullet in the Sable's chest. The bull ran about 50yards to where he went down.
After our Sable hunt in the morning we were on our way again to hunt the Northern slope of the Soutpansberg Mountain.
We were all greatly blessed with a fabulous Gemsbok and Warthog.
DAY 2
What a day?
With the rains that fell early morning the hunting was a bit slow.
Firstly I had Tamas on a Kudu bull that stayed put in one spot and never gave us an opportunity before he vanished into the mountains.
With more rain coming down on us, we decided to take a break and have lunch under the Nyala berry trees.
Later we were all out in search of something to attack
.
Although everything happened on a slow pace we were blessed with 2 beautiful Impalas. Christopher Klopper guided Greta to take a beautiful male, then at last light Tamas had a chance on a great buck as well.
Leica the new puppy was also on her first hunting trip today.

Back at the lodge we all enjoyed a heartily meal of Sable tender loin prepared by Elizna Mostert , Steven and Mavis.
DAY 3
With more rain coming down on us, we decided to stay in and wait for the rains to clear.
But with the first opportunity Christopher was out with his team of hunters in search of game.
Andreas who has never hunted before took his first African animal. The team of hunters we blessed with a very good Impala.
DAY 4
Not knowing what the rains would do, we decided to give it another go.
Tamas and I was after Kudu but the aliments were against us. Christopher was able to guide another First time hunter Örkényi to a very unique Impala trophy.
"HERE is how it happened"
Today was yet another tough day in the office....
The windy, wet weather definitely didn't play in our favor.
After a tough morning we finally spotted a very special Impala ram ....
We made a stalk in on him, as got to about 80 m away Örkényi got on to the shooting sticks and made a perfect shot on this beautiful Impala ram......
The last few days was very special for the Örkényi family and Greta as they all shot their first African animals......
More rain is coming down on us, hopefully it will clear and give us an opportunity to find Tamas hi dream Kudu bull.
STAY TUNED for more African adventures following soon..
