I would like to share with you the following information about
my hunting operation in South Africa
While as an Outfitter and Professional Hunter, I am
licensed to hunt in all 9 states of South Africa, most
of my hunts are conducted in the north eastern part of
the country, on the western border of the Kruger
National Park. Besides all of the Big 5, I have Black
Rhino, Crocodile, Hippo, as well as about 25 species of
plains game that can be hunted on the various private
reserves where I hunt.
Accommodation , as well as trophy quality in the area,
is of a very high standard. Although prices in this area
are significantly higher when compared to countries like
Zimbabwe, I have found that there are a number of
clients that prefer to hunt these areas.
I have been hunting this area since 1989, and have access to some of the finest private reserves.
The pictures below were taken on 3 back - to - back
hunts that I did in June / July this year
(2005). All of the hunters were from Las Vegas. This
will give you an idea of what the area looks like,
examples of some of the camps we use, as well as the
trophy quality of the animals. As you can see, the
lion in the area are of an exceptionally high
quality.
I will provide you with pricelists for Plains Game
Hunts both in the Kalahari and Northern Cape areas
if required.
The following is a list of some of the clients
that have hunted with me over the years :

FOR THE 2006 HUNTING
SEASON:
The three pricelists include below, include all the areas I will be hunting during the 2006 hunting season. Additional areas, in the Kalahari and Northern cape, which I have personally inspected and reviewed, will be personally hunted and supervised by two associate outfitters, Rudolf Graupner, and Lieb Du Raan. I have worked with both of these gentlemen personally, and while they are only plains game operations, the overall standards of both operations is very high, and prices are competitive.
All of the Big 5 hunts in
the Kruger National Park area will be conducted by me
personally. While prices of these hunts are significantly higher
than the 2 plains game options, both accommodations, trophy
quality, along with all the other aspects of the hunt are of the
highest quality. All of these hunts will be conducted on the
western border of the Kruger National Park, on 7 private game
reserves which I regard as the finest in the area.
In addition to the
packages, and regular trophy listings, Specialized Big 5 hunts,
with specific trophy criteria, as far as exceptional trophy
quality, and accommodation facilities is concerned, can also be
arranged. These hunts are custom designed to the exact
requirements and specifications of the hunter, and are quoted
for separately.
As most of you have probably
heard, Lion hunting will be stopped by the government towards
the middle of 2006. I have a limited number of permits
available, for hunts in the early part of the year only. If you
are serious about hunting a lion before it is all over, it is
essential that you contact me as soon as possible.
