Getting Close!

[FB1416]

Less than 3 weeks out from 3rd Safari in South Africa. We will do long layover in London to do a little sightseeing, spend night at Afton in Johannesburg, 10 Days in 2 different camps in Free State & Eastern Cape, then 3 Day Photo Safari in Kruger. Bigger group going as 4 hunters and their wives, including my youngest son (30). Finishing most of my plains game as Sable, Eland, Black Impala, Golden Wildebeest and Bushbuck on the agenda. Other suggestions on another less common animal to take? Have funds to do at least one more and am somewhat undecided.

Time is definitely nearly standing still I am ready to go so bad. It has been 3 years since our last trip.

Have a great trip! If you've not taken a Red Hartebeest, there are good ones in the Free State.

Tsessebee

I have actually been thinking about a Tsessebe. Have you shot one? How was the hunt?

Have a great trip. Gotta make it to Harry Potter World while you're there..

 

[Throwback]

Roan, colored Sprinbok (black/white/copper), Ostrich, Blesbok. Not sure if you have the Tiny Ten but get some of those too! Cheers

I haven't shot a tsessebe yet. Have sat and observed them on several occasions. But when I have seen them I was concentrating on other animals and my budget ran out before the Tsessebe made it to the "Yes lets put a stalk on list"

Tsessebe are about the plainest looking of all African antelope. I wouldn't want one on my wall. I suggest red lechwe. They are beautiful whether shoulder or euro mount.

I took a very nice lechwe last trip. Has anyone taken a Vaal Rhebuck? My outfitter has mentioned several times that he thinks it is one of the best hunts in Africa.
