I didn´t have any definite plans to go back to Africa this year, but when last March I visited the stand of Spitskop Safaris at the Madrid hunting fair, my friend Adam Barnard said to me “would you like to come to Mozambique ? We are going to hunt crocodiles”.
So I answered, I am interested in Mozambique, but not in shooting any crocs, I just don´t have anywhere to put one, what else is there to hunt ? Well, there was hyena, baboon, bushpig, the chance of a very big Chobe bushbuck, warthogs, and the opportunity to see very large crocs being hunted in the Cahora Bassa dam. Interesting !
Unfortunately, there was little interest among his clients to hunt croc, and we couldn´t make a group large enough to fill the licenses being offered.
So we made a plan. At the end of September, I will go with my friend @chemarq to the Pongola Game Reserve, KwaZulu/Natal where we each plan to hunt a hyena, plus baboon and warthog.
Then on to Kimberley in the Northern Cape where Spitskop has its farm, there we will join two other friends who are hunting buffalo, which will be interesting. There I plan to take a mountain reedbuck, jackal, porcupine and warthog.
We will also make a visit to Adam´s cousin who owns a farm in the Free State and has assured us he has nice bushpig.
That will make ten days of hunting and having a good time in SA with a bunch of friends, I am really looking forward to it.
