After a few fun days down in Cape Town, 1st timers to Africa Dan and Deb DeGeorge from Rochester New York USA touched down in Upington for a 7 night safari at Thuru. PH Jacques Taljaard took charge of the hunt and both Dan and Deb had an awesome stay in this magnificent camp and hunting area. Braam and Mardoret, who are the managers at Thuru, helped Dan with the planning of his Cape Town excursion which turned out to be a real treat for Dan & Deb. It is so rewarding for the whole WJVS team to share our special piece of Africa with our clients and to see them enjoying themselves so much.

Denny Rosson from Tahoka Texas and his son Aaron from Cameron North Carolina USA, joined PH's John Tinley and Johnny Vivier on this their 1st hunt to Africa. After surfing the internet for a destination to go on safari, Aaron crossed paths with Johnny and it wasn't long before this Special Forces vet had his and Denny's dates booked and they were on their way to Kimberley for a hunt of a lifetime. To say that we had lots of fun with these 2 crazy characters from the USA is an understatement... We had a blast!!John Tinley did a great job in guiding both Denny and Aaron out in the sticks.

A wonderful report came in today from Garrick Mishaga of Mentor, Ohio USA about his safari with PH Leroux (Lash) Coetzee in our Gamagara area. It was Garrick's 1st visit to South Africa and at 72 years young, it is most certainly not his last! The hunt was conducted the right way, all walk and stalk and armed with a .300 Win Mag rifle that Garrick borrowed from Lash, 1 shot kills were the order of the day!! The whole WJVS team wants to thank Garrick for first of all putting his confidence and trust in George & Catherine Robey of Antbear African Adventures and for booking this hunt with WJVS.

Wintershoek Johnny Vivier Safaris wants to thank Dean Stobbs and Dave and Wendy Greeno of DWD Worldwide Adventures for once again recommending Henry Sykes from Canada to WJVS. This is Henry's 2nd hunt with PH John Tinley and it was a most memorable safari at that with great weather conditions as well. We can recall the huge Lion that Henry took last year, well this year he wanted a Lioness and some plains game species that he hasn't taken before. Henry practiced his shooting hard during the course of the year and this proved to be very valuable when the chips were down during his hunt.

It was through a meeting that took place in Midland Texas, with PH Johnny Vivier, Hannes Pienaar, Mike Ford and also a reassuring chat with Fred Williams in Florida that brought John Daniels and Woody Woodside to hunt with Wintershoek Johnny Vivier Safaris recently. John had unfortunately a bad experience in another country hunting for Buffalo and returned home empty handed and very wary of any outfitters! We want to really thank John and Woody for entrusting the WJVS team, what a fabulous safari was had by our 2 clients.
