KMG Hunting Safaris 2026 Season Photos

Just looking at these two beautiful old kudu bulls two friends took in different areas during the 2026 Season…
One’s got those really tight curls, while the other carries the more classic wider, open shape. Both absolute crackers in their own way.
Taking fully mature animals like these is such an important part of proper conservation hunting. These older boys have already done their job genetically.
Which style do you prefer, the tight spiral curls or the wider conventional shape?

What an absolute brute of a Blue Wildebeest bull!
This old warrior has clearly seen many seasons and plenty of battles. Notice the heavy, prominent bosses, showing years of wear.
Huge congratulations to our hunter on taking such a magnificent animal. Don't use enough gun at your own peril. This estate agent will show you the area multiple times over.
Who else has had the privilege of hunting one of these tough old bulls? Drop your photos below!

Two friends scored themselves a pair of great Gemsbuck bulls on their trip with us during the 2026 season!
These two animals were taken in classic rugged terrain, as Gemsbuck are often found down here in the Eastern Cape.
One of the bulls, is showing classic secondary growth. In older Gemsbuck this basal thickening and extra ring development is a clear sign of advanced age and post prime maturity. As I have mentioned before, ideal and something that should be strived for, but not always possible to achieve.

Can you identify which bull has the secondary growth?

Taking time to sit quietly beside a hard-earned animal is one of the most meaningful parts of the hunt.
In that stillness the adrenaline fades and deeper emotions surface. Gratitude, respect, and quiet pride.
These reflective moments turn a successful stalk into lasting memory rather than just a photo.
This beautiful Eland bull, taken by our hunter, stands as a powerful reminder of that privilege.
Such pauses honor both the animal and the journey that brought hunter and trophy together.

So true Marius. Thanks for posting pictures. I always enjoying the insights you provide in your commentary.

What an exceptional Blue Wildebeest bull! A magnificent trophy, showcasing impressive mass, worn down tips, and the rugged character that makes this species such an iconic African plains game animal. Congratulations to our hunter on an unforgettable stalk and a truly memorable achievement in the African bushveld!

Two good friends and a stellar pair of Lechwe!
Both animals showing impressive horn development and those solid, well-defined bases that point to maturity as opposed to immature animals which will have a white, flakey appearance, especially found in ringed horn antelope.
Congratulations to our hunters on two outstanding animals!

A truly remarkable achievement and a hunt to remember!
Congratulations to our hunter on taking this magnificent Cape Buffalo bull with bow.

Taking on one of Africa’s most iconic and formidable game animals with archery equipment is no small feat.

Not every day do you get to see a magnificent Barbary Sheep ram featured, making this a truly special trophy to share! Hunting these impressive animals is no easy task, with their keen senses, incredible agility and ability to navigate some of the toughest terrain making every encounter a real challenge. It takes patience and determination to get within range of a mature ram like this. When an opportunity finally presents itself, it makes the whole experience that much more rewarding. A truly memorable hunt and a magnificent trophy for our hunter. Congratulations on an exceptional ram and an experience to remember!

After an exciting hunt, our hunter was rewarded with this magnificent Kudu bull. Spotting a mature bull like this is never guaranteed, and getting within range requires careful stalking, consideration for the wind and making the most of every opportunity.
Moments like these are what make Kudu hunting so special, the anticipation, the challenge and the unforgettable reward at the end of the journey.

Congratulations to our hunter on a fantastic trophy and an experience to remember!

Thank you for hunting with KMG Hunting Safaris.

This was one huge effort in the recovery. After watching a Kudu bull for a while, and already having our Kudu in the bag, we called friends of our party over who still had a Kudu on their list. While waiting for them to arrive, this Gemsbuck bull stood up below us. One that was on our list, but not in the bag.
We were situated above him on the rocky outcrop, and our hunter made a perfect shot on him. We had to walk back up over the top to get back to the vehicle, drive around and approach again from the bottom to the closest road almost a mile away. We managed to get the bull to the vehicle in one piece, thanks to a great carrying crew. The work was done roughly at 13:00, and we duly decided to take the rest of the day off. Trackers and Professional Hunter was very appreciative.
