A long-held, shared dream was this safari of two German hunting friends from Central Hesse, Germany. Planned and prepared many months in advance, the experienced hunters traveled to us on the east coast of South Africa in November 25 to embark on their joint hunting adventure for Cape buffalo and plains game.
They planned to hunt with their own weapons, so we assisted with the import and customs regulations and organized safe transportation. The weather was kind to us, and over the 9 hunting days, we managed to achieve an impressive hunt – the two will have plenty to talk about for a long time and are already planning their next visit!
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!
