Your Favorite Africa Hunting Photo

Hatari is a supercool movie.
But here you can see John Wayne ,Elsa Martinelli and an other for me unknown guy during the Hatari Sylvester party in Momella.
They don't look very amused.

Not long before he passed away, I had the privilege of having lunch with Jan Oelofse at his ranch in Namibia. He was the handler for many of the animals in the movie, including the Cheetah. In the scene where Elsa Martinelli is joined by the big kitty while she is taking a bath, Jan is on the floor behind the tub managing the cat. His description of the scene was hilarious.

Maybe not my absolute favorite, but a close. The final sunset on my husband and I's first safari. I took it with my iPhone in the brush waiting on them to bring my kudu in via tractor to take photos with the kudu he had just killed (within an hour of mine being taken from a different herd on the same farm).


Also, this thread is great, so I figured why not keep it alive.

Wife with "her" Kudu, which she claimed after I shot it. Until this day, this is her Kudu and the mount sits above our tv over the fire place. :)

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
