RANCE SAFARIS

Warthog and blue wildebeast are my two favourites. Warthog because they are always wild, you need a quick shot and they are hard to keep in one jagplaas. Blue wildebeast is the poor man's buffalo, a very strong animal where you need a good shot to harvest it, otherwise you can look forward to a...

I own a Blaser R93 in 300 win mag. It has been taken to SA 10 times, first 2 hunts were with a 308. It has been equipped with a Nightforce NSX scope which is virtually indestructible. Since I live in Holland, i 'm not used to walk in mountain terrain, and the rifle has been dropped a few times...

After hunting 7 times in SA i wanted to change my PH/outfitter. And i did no research, just picked a PH who was also an outfitter on this forum and i relied on the professional attitude of SA towards its hunters. i had several very good hunts with Tsala Safaris (Rouan Nel) and will return to...

I hunted with Rouan and Niel from Tsala safaris several times and every trip was a great experience. I finally shot my klipspringer during a real hunt in unfenced mountain terrain and the fact that it took me 4 trips to get it makes me even more proud of it. I'm sure they stay in business Bruce...

I found my outfitter on this forum and will see him very soon again for my fourth hunt with him. AH is a great place for European hunters to read reviews and get advice.

During a hunt in East Germany, i watched the fallow deer calves playing. As any hunter would have done, i enjoyed watching them and did not take a shot.

My last hunting trip in SA with Tsala Safaris, outfitter Rouan Nel was ended before we started hunting due to the unexpected death of a Relative. We had to fly home to Holland. Rouan helped us as much as he could. Besides great hunting experiences in previous trips with Tsala Safaris, there are...

Somehow i get the impression that this is not a very active offer. Too bad, i would have loved to try this once. @Sika98k -> Nice hunt. I've done a few of those hunts in East Germany. Reason i was interested in this add was that i still want to shoot my trophee red deer, and i was wondering...

Did anybody hunt with this member? I would like to hear some experiences from other hunters.

No succes with the above strategy. I'll rest this case now. Crisis is getting less in Holland, business is getting better. We are now thinking about booking another trip to SA and i'll focus now on this positive plan!

Jeff, i hunted with them. One of the best hunts of my life, very nice people, good prices. I opted for a package with bushbuck, zebra and rooikat and shot them without any problems. If you need any more info, send me a PB.

Anybody interested? 3 barrels for sale for the Sauer 202 take down, 375 H&H, .416 R and.458 lott ( new). The first 2 only shot 10 bullets, the 3rd is new. They are hard to sell in Holland cause i shot the last dutch elephant. ;) send me a Personal message if you are interested in one or more of them

Hi Rouan, A very good offer! Sable is one of the few i did not shoot sofar. We hunted last year together and it was one of the best hunts of my life. If any european hunters want to know from me how Tsala Safaris works, email me. I only have very positive experiences. Hope to see you in...

More than enough. Maybe take a 30-06 for daily use and the 458 only for dangerous and big game.

Marius, thanks. I probably won't use your offer cause my last hunt with rouan nel (also a member on this forum) was fantastic so if i return i book with him. But i took a look at your site and you run a very professional hunting business and i wish you a lot of clients. If you ever want to hunt...

Dear fellow hunters, It has been a while since i added something to my thread. Nothing changed, i still don't have my rooikat, mr. D.S. refuses to reply to any messages, all mails from SA instances telling me they will do anything or start any investigation were never followed up..... In the...

Your animal prices are very fair. Who cares about sleeping in a tent when you can hunt in africa!

Kudu seems cheap. Do you have that many walking around?

Almost unbelievable if i see the pictures on my couch in holland..

After some intensive internet searching, i think i'll load a nosler partition 300 grain and a nosler solid 300 grain for the second shot. Barnes solids are hard to get in europe. They consider it armour piercing ammunition and i could not order the barnes solid bullets here. I'll adjust the...

I just read the discussion cause i want to load a 375 for my next africa trip. I just want to add something in defence of the Barnes TTSX Bullets. I shot over 70 african animals with them in .300 win mag caliber. I used the 180 grain bullet first, and now i use the 168 grain bullet (last 50...

Hi Roger. I'll probably burn the old mount. As you can read, i shot a new rooikat and i'll probably send it to Martin who did an expertise on the old mount and confirmed it was not my rooikat. (i know i can shoot, but a shot that turns a female into a male is even for me difficult). As you can...

Thanks bluey. I've been in SA for 9 times now, and my wife always follows me hunting. She likes taking pictures of the birds and animals. This was the first time we split our vacation in one week hunting, and a week relaxing in Pilanusberg. We stayed at the same motel (manawe) in a fully...

Hi Guys, I hunted with Tsala Safaris in april 2013. I shot a rooikat, bushbuck and a RW blue wildebeast in one day. Excellent hunt, excellent trackers, great food and great accomodation. And for European hunters, excellent dogs! I took the wife with me and combined a 6 day hunt with a 6...

The story behind the above picture.... During the discussion about the stolen rooikat trophee i got in contact with a member of this forum who told me i could hunt rooikat with him. It was mr. Rouan Nel from Tsala Safaris (in the picture on the right, on the left his brother Niel). Since the...

As they say in Holland, don't get mad, get even!

This is an email i just wrote to his laywer, Eugene Harmse. I will wait for what happens next. Dear Eugene, I had the rooikat taken for an expertise, and you were wright, your client can do wonders with a trophee!! He turned a female into a male. Look on the hunting forum if you want to...

After hunting in the same place lots of times and after about 50 succes shots, i got permission for head shots if i judged that it was possible and if i was confident i would not miss. This one was shot from a sandbag with a totally stable gun, home made ammunition which i trust and a perfectly...

You should have seen my face ;)

I have also done it a lot, put small animals into the freezer and it was never a problem. But the taxidermist is now trying to manoever the discussion into bad field preparation and so it will be all my own fault. The taxidermists who have seen the rooikat all say that it is a very old trophee...

This is the oryx skull i got. Note he did not even bother to attach it to some wood...

These are the pictures of the oryx which was shot between the eyes. You can see the entry and the exit hole of the bullet. Does this look like a skull which will desintegrate when cooked?

Here are the excuses sent to my by the laywer of the taxidermist. We have now consulted with our client, and our client instructed us to respond as follows: 1. Your hunt took place during summer, with temperatures up to 35ï½°C; 2. No field preparation was done on...

Coming Sunday, Martin will see the rooikat and give his professional opinion.

Dear fellow hunters!! I'm so glad that my original thought was not wrong. I'm going to make an appointment with Martin and he will do an expertise. I do not want to be wrong and put somebody on the internet who does not deserve it, so Martin will be the 4th taxidermist (and an independant...

this is the rooikat i shot
