Hello All,
I’ve recently returned from my second hunting trip to Africa – this time to Lowveld region in South Africa with Dieter, owner of @MATTANJA HUNTING SAFARIS.
Again I’m pleased to report that the trip exceeded my expectations.
This time I was accompanied by a friend on his first trip to Africa who intended to hunt plains game while I was hoping for a buffalo.
Our camp was perfectly placed adjacent to the Greater Kruger National Park. Accommodation and staff were excellent – as was the food, especially the meat from the braai courtesy of Derian, another superb PH who accompanied us on our hunts.
Dieter has a fabulous personality, is super easy to get on with and importantly really knows his stuff.
His long term tracker Eliphas was incredible too – it’s hard to believe how gifted he was. One afternoon, just the three of us cautiously stalking, we got to within several meters of a buffalo we had been following all morning.
During the week we were in camp, my friend and I were both lucky enough to enjoy successful hunts – duiker, impala, zebra, nyala, giraffe and I was rewarded with a couple of, in my opinion, incredible old dagga boys.
Dieter really does put in the utmost effort to get you what you want - we both had a tremendous time with him.
It was an unforgettable adventure that I will enjoy looking back on for the rest of my life and I can highly recommend Mattanja Hunting Safaris.
I’m now planning to visit Zimbabwe next year with Dieter to go after leopard.
I can’t wait…
