On the recommendation of friends who had already been on safari with us, Judith, Petra, and Uli came to us in August 25 for a 7-day safari targeting plains game. They wanted to hunt for a week and then get to know the country and its people.
Even during the sighting in at our shooting range, it was clear that amateurs were not in the picture – all three had excellent shooting results, so the loan guns were quickly chosen and we were ready to go.
Uli had requested species such as Blue Duiker, Cape Grey Rhebok, and Mountain Reedbuck, which required a division into two hunting groups. Petra and Judith stalked together with their hunting guide, while Uli went on safari alone with his professional hunter.
The hunt was extremely successful, and the days flew by before the three finally set out to explore the Garden Route. This certainly won’t be their last visit to NGIRI, that much is certain!
Following the recommendation of hunting friends, we contacted Anja to learn more about her private hunting in South Africa. Anja invited us to visit her booth at the Jagd & Hund trade fair in 2023, and we liked her idea of sustainable, ethical hunting in South Africa so much that we decided to go for it and booked a family safari on NGIRI for September 2024.
We were not disappointed – our week on NGIRI was an adventure just the way we wanted it. An enormous game population with exceptional diversity met excellent cuisine and wonderful hospitality. The hunting success was also impressive, and we ended up with a massive lynx (hunted with a pack of dogs), an abnormal nyala bull, a bushbuck, and a steenbok. The trip concluded with a deep-sea fishing trip in Port Elizabeth before we unfortunately had to head home.
Thanks to Anja and her team for a fantastic time and wonderful hospitality; we felt completely at home!
