Hi Gang,
I was lucky enough to hunt the same time with Glen and his dad at Tholo Safaris.
Everything was excellent. Quality of game outstanding.
PH - Steven did an excellent job full filling my species list, including a few extras.

Anyone planning a hunt at "Tholo Safaris" will not be disappointed.

Regards,

Well done, congrats on some fine animals.
 
Super trophies. I am keen to go after Eland on my next safari.
 
Wow!
High 50's on the Kudu?
Asking for a umm... friend.... :)
 
Some fantastic trophies in that lot but for me that kudu is awesome. He must be pushing 60. I am @shootist’s friend that wants to know?
 
Tholo means kudu in the Sotho language. I had the good fortune to hunt with them a few years ago. Great hosts and PHs. Very nice camp with beautiful accommodations and meals. When I was there the waterhole in plain view of camp where we enjoyed sundowners each evening had a resident leopard who strolled along and climbed into a tree as we watched every night. I killed a kudu that was a little over 58 inches there and he was not the largest one we saw. Good gems, zebra and others. Really nice zebras as well. You couldn’t go wrong with Tholo safaris. The owner Clive Easton is a nice guy.
 
I have been fortunate enouther to hunt with Steven and Besa twice and hope o again, unfortunately Besa time was cut short on the second hunt by the passing of his father. He was there when i took my Kudu. The first trip we were so picky, if you have been there you know why, that on the last day I made a bad shot and hit a second time and we spent the whole day tracking with no success. I took my the first day of my second hunt, Besa saw the horn first. All I saw was a rump. Steven tapped his shoulder and I knew what that meant. All i saw of my 57ish bull was a shoulder as I pulled the trigger. I regret nothing. That day put 4 animals in the salt, 3 of my top 3. We had time for some relaxing bird shooting that trip. Great animals all. Tholo is truly a special place. I am going to Zim in 2022 and that outfitter has some big shoes to fill.

Hello, My wife and I hunted with Marius 2 years ago. He fit us into his schedule after a different outfitter "bailed" on us. He was always very good with communications and although we didn't end up meeting him personally, he called us multiple times during our hunt to make sure things were going well. We were very happy with him.

Reach out to the guys at Epic Outdoors.

They will steer you right for landowner tags and outfitters that have them.

I have held a membership with them for years and they are an invaluable resource.

Way better that asking random people on the internet...WAY better

Skydiver386,

Did you ever find your 30-06 CZ550? I own a fairly solid conditioned one, if you wanted to talk.
