Good evening John & Katherien Excuse the late reply, as you know, I have been out in the bush busy with a couple of things… Thank you so much for your kind words, it was great having you two in camp and to see someone appreciate everything going on around them as much as we do! It is as you...

Well done and beautiful animals! It’s quite refreshing to hear positive feedback on taxidermists. We only use bullseye and Craig is a great guy to deal with. I think I might have seen that kudu during a visit there a couple of months ago! Kind regards Aj Fourie

We are We are doing very well thank you! I’m starting another hunt tomorrow morning, and I can’t wait! I don’t want to hog the original post so I hope that you are doing well too! Kind regards Aj Fourie

I I’ve been accused of many things before, but a boring bugger has never been one of them…

Welcome to the site! As mentioned above you don’t need to be concerned about wastage of meat, in Africa, everything is utilised! What is an undeniable fact is that you and your family will build memories in Africa that will stay with you forever. Good luck on making your decision, if Africa is...

We’ll be sure to cook up some proper game meat for you both and it seems like he is willing to share with you! a Favourite in camp for us is also Kudu and my personal favourite is between Mountain Reedbuck and Bushbuck. Looking forward to having you in camp and June will be here faster than you...

Looking forward to having you back in camp!!!!!

It is unfortunate but as you say understandable, we ended up getting a Crocodile, Hippo, Giraffe, Blue wildebeest, Blesbuck, Ostrich, Nyala and a Bushpig.

Hi all, Our season has kicked off and it’s been good fun to get back to hunting. Sitting at home yesterday reflecting back on the past couple of days, I went through a couple of pictures and I decided to share them with everyone here, our clients have asked not to post photos of them on any...

Welcome to the site, Swakopmund is a beautiful area, I’ve only been there once but it was a great experience and a well kept and clean place (at least all the parts we saw). Looking forward to seeing some reports come through on your current planned hunts! Kind regards Aj Fourie.

Hi Dan and welcome to the forum! I‘ve been fortunate enough to visit AUS but I haven’t hunted there. We did go out crabbing close to Port Douglas and I remember the little boat (dingi) just being big enough to carry two people, some crab nets and a rather large ice chest filled with cold...

I was keeping an eye on the news yesterday and managed to get to O.R Thambo international without any problems. The people flying in had no problems what so ever except for a layover issue in Addis Ababa. There were a couple of incidents but nothing to lead to a shut down of any kind and they...

Good day MntMan82 Welcome to the site. We hunt in South Africa and Mozambique. I will send you a DM to explain a little more about us as well. Kind regards Aj Fourie.

There might be varied opinions on this one but you can have a look at news24 South Africa. We have better news channels although I’m not sure how much Afrikaans you’ve picked up on.

I’m with Colorado on this one, get a gun that you can shoot comfortably, a 375 H&H is great and it’ll do the job.

Sooo… what a topic… Africa has African problems, I am forever optimistic and hopeful and I love Africa and living in South Africa. Currently we do have allot of challenges and frustrations within the country, protests are not uncommon in South Africa and as a matter of fact they will protest...

Many things can happen while you are on Safari and Kevin and BRICKBURN both have very good points. Usually on wild areas we have a set quota. On privately owned properties you might see something like what you describe, but you have to ask yourself a couple of questions first. Is it truly a good...

You can hunt in Africa and she can shop somewhere nice in Europe, afterwards you can meet up with her, this way you don’t have to walk down every little passage… If we arrange this well enough we could even make it look like a kidnapping situation and she can dig around for a randsom that we‘ll...

There are a bunch of good outfitters and professional hunters that are not members of PHASA for various reasons. There’s also other organisation to be affiliated with like S.A. Hunters to name but one for South Africa alone and the list continues. PHASA has also had some troubled members in...

Welcome to AH!! Looking forward to hearing more about the hunt! Keep us posted

Welcome to AH, like Kevin said,tell us more about that double and maybe even spoil us with a photo!

Hi mxgust and welcome to the site! It might be a great idea travelling with a friend as you could look into two on one packages and end up saving a bit of money. Enjoy the site! Kind Regards Aj Fourie.

Good day Roy, maybe I can help out? You can send me a private message or send me an email at aj@kwalata.com. We hunt in the Niassa National Reserve in Mozambique and I can tell you more about our operation and send you some references as well. Kind Regards Aj Fourie

Very good post, well said!

Hi Mark The term “bigger or smaller outfitters” could be very deceiving. a Big outfit could be an outfitter with many ph’s and clients running all over to get their animals and a client could potentially end up just being a number basically. a Big outfitter could also be someone who has been...

We do quite a bit of hunting in Limpopo in the Waterberg area, obviously terrain will have an effect but we seldomly take shots over 120 yards on plains game, with some exceptions as mentioned by @Desperatezulu. On buffalo you want to get a bit closer so maybe around that 50-70 yard bracket...

Hello Ryan and welcome to AH! There‘s plenty of information on the forum! You cannot go wrong with the Niassa Special Reserve. I will send you a dm. Kind regards Aj Fourie.

CRIES of the Savanna

Welcome to the site!!! Post us some pictures of hunting in France!

Welcome to the site! 2024 will be here before you know it!!!

That second bull won’t go to deep fifties, I’d put him in middle fifties but yes, definitely the older one between the two and he displays beautifully as well!

The second bull in my opinion is almost ready, but I would give him more time as well.

Field judging a kudu bull has various aspects to be taken into consideration and depth of the curl, length of the tips and thickness of the base has an impact but so does horn mass and even the area that you are hunting in, some areas are known for better trophy quality than other areas. I...

Welcome to AH!!

Hi Sue, we were quite busy as well! But it’s not a problem, we will be back next year and hopefully we can catch up then!

And so our marketing time in the U.S have come to an end, We would like to thank everyone met or visited for your kindness and hospitality. Now it’s time to get back into the bush and start hunting! We look forward to seeing you there! Kind regards Aj Fourie.

Good day everyone! We are all set up and ready to go in Nashville!!! Be sure to come by our booth and don’t forget to mention AH!! Kind regards Aj Fourie

Thanks, but it’s definitely a team effort!

Hi Doug We told them about that trailer and they said they will see if they can find it!

Welcome to the forum Mark, there is something for everyone on here! Kind regards Aj Fourie

We had a great time at the Great American Outdoor Show! Thank you to everyone that came by to spend some time with us! Our favourite visitor was a kid called Vinnie, his family bought him to our booth to ask whether he could touch the taxidermy! Vinnie is blind but he loves animals and the only...

I’m very fortunate to live on a place where I can walk out the door and hunt some species although I must say, the further away I can get, the better! I have some kudu, bushbuck, blesbuck, Duiker and Steenbuck around my house but I prefer just enjoying having them there! That being said, we live...

Good evening! We would just like to say thank you to all the members that has come by our booth to greet us! We still have tomorrow left and Sunday (I know it is Superbowl Sunday) but if you have thought about attending the show, please pop in and mention AH! We are in booth Nr 5707. If you...

It’s a cheap piece of technology that will give you piece of mind, I’ve used them in my luggage as well and I think they are great!

Welcome to AH! Africa has enough beauty to keep you occupied for a long time!! Kind regards Aj Fourie.

This package is for clients coming from the US but I will send you a DM to discuss options for Europe.

Hi Jaqeus As stated above, this package includes two economy class tickets. Thank you. Aj Fourie.

Hi trperk In my opinion I would go for a European on the kudu, a Sable has a beautiful mane and the presents great on a wall. But as @Mwag said it depends, if you get a great kudu a sable can have a classic clean look as a European as well? You have time to make this decision, wait until after...

I have the CZ 550 in a .458 Lott and it is a reliable rifle, I had to work the bolt a little bit initially to get it a little smoother but I have been happy with it since the day I bought it, and as mentioned above it’s a robust working gun!! Does a backup rifle need to be pretty? In my opinion...

Hi Rubi, @BeeMaa said it well and with DG hunting there will always be risks involved. All being said I don’t think that it should discourage you at all, if it is something that you want to do you can make it work. We have all heard or seen the horror stories yes, and some members here have...
