I just got back from my first ever African hunting safari. It was truly a fantastic, moving experience. I hunted with Safari Afrika owned by Richard and Ruth Lemmer. Mr. Lemmer and our P.H. Rowan Zerf guided us each day of the ten day hunt. Both were very personable and had intimate knowledge of the properties we hunted. We stayed at the Lemmer's home and the accomodations were great. Ruth cooked for us and looked after our things while we were out hunting. The food was great. The other staff, Ester, Prince and Johanes took good care of us and the animals we killed. I ended up taking 7 outstanding animals: a 54 inch Kudu, a 29 1/2 inch Wildebeest, an almost 17 inch Bushbuck, a heavy horned 27 inch waterbuck and very nice blesbok, warthog and impala. The Warthog was by far the most difficult to hunt but I got mine the last evening on the last day with a 200 yard shot. I highly recommend Safari Afrika and hope to return in a couple years.

Thanks for the pictures Richard, Don's kudu is HUGE!!! Neil's bushbuck is SUPER and his impala has nyala shaped horns. The animals are really good quality, really nice blue wildebeest...very good trophies
 
Thanks !! Yes we were fortunate and got a couple of outstanding trophies ! Don's Kudu was a tad over 60 " ......

Happy Hunting !
 
That is a B E A U T I F U L Blue Wildebeest, congrats, congrats, congrats. All of the animals are fantastic, but...... I really like that Wildebeest.
 
Beautiful animals and really excellent photography. Well done.
 
Great animals.
I specially like the Bushbuck and Kudus!
Congrats :)
 
Well done...all fantastic looking animals there.....that bushbuck is a cracker....my first thought was he was 17 1/2....likely you now have acquired the 'africa virus'....an entirely enjoyable illness.
 
congratulations on a successful hunt boys .
I don't think you will ever up size on that bush buck or kudu
welcome and enjoy the site
your trophy photos look like they were taken by a pro
thanks for showing us
 
Thanks !! Yes we were fortunate and got a couple of outstanding trophies ! Don's Kudu was a tad over 60 " ......!

Thanks, I thought it was over 60! He's massive, a dream kudu.

I knew Scott, would like that blue wildebeest.
 
Thank you from my side for all the positive comments ! This is what I think all Outfitters like to hear . We worked hard but also had a lot of luck . It is true ....l the more you practise the luckier you get .....

Happy Hunting !!!
