Had zebra backstrap for the first time last week. It was great. I wish I could have brought some home.

Excellent flavour, no doubt.

We get asked many times what is our favorite animal to hunt. The Bushbuck could be one that challenges us the most, but it sure is the one that is the most rewarding.
They are without a doubt the most temperamental animals out there. On beautiful days they will go missing, and be out in the worst conditions. He does what he wants.

Speak to us about your 2026 and 2027 Safaris!

Bushbuck are incredible to hunt.

This Caracal took us to some deep country. We had received a call from one of the nearby sheep farmers that one of his Merino Sheep ewes had been caught. Staff members noticed something in the grass and upon inspection, found the dead ewe, with the Caracal crouching behind and taking off as they approached. He phoned us to bring the hounds and upon dropping them next to the ewe, they immediately started working the scent.
Once the cat was treed and we approached, the cat got nervous and jumped. heading deeper down the valley. With the hounds so close on its tail, it wasn't long and they had it treed again. This time, we wasted no time and finished the job.
Hunting them this way over hounds is effective and accurate. Having three packs working the area, and being surrounded by stock farmers, ensures that we can offer excellent odds at getting our hunters on to these highly sought after animals.

When Africa offers you a blessing, you better be ready to accept it. This is a stellar Waterbuck coming in at 32". A Waterbuck was never on our hunter's list, but when an animal in this class walks out, it was never in question.

What animals were there that wasn't on your list, that you now regret not taking when you had the opportunity?

Ivory tips is not something that is common on Bushbuck. This old ram was heavy all the way up with the some ivory to show. Typical Cape Bushbuck with his dark, chocolate coat.

Another magnificent Cape Kudu bull that broke the 50" mark. Since 2019, we started focusing heavily on age. Now, 6 years later, we can physically see the fruits of our labor from our decisions we made back then. So many more animals that we hunt during current times, on their last teeth.

Great moment shared between two friends in one of our free range areas.

Indeed!

How is this for a unicorn? This was an ancient Common Duiker that was most likely on his last legs. The one horn was sheared off, with the other horn already withered away at the base from age.
Simply a giant in his own world.

Here is a very large Stallion hunted with us. Zebra are one of the species where both sexes get hunted, and also quite necessary. Often, the mares will offer better, cleaner skins than the Stallions. To the untrained eye, telling the difference between mares and stallions can be challenging for. What are your go to markers for distinguishing between males and females?

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

Another great Waterbuck bull taken in one of our low fenced areas. One thing is almost universal with all hunters, and that is the surprise at the size of a Waterbuck bull. With its stout, thick neck and compact body, they can often outweigh a Kudu bull.
The musky smell is also unmistakable, leaving an oily residue on touch. This musky smell is often their downfall when you put good tracking hounds on a wounded animal.

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

This is a serious Black Wildebeest bull. After crawling a few yards, we managed to perch up over a rock and found three bulls together trying their luck with the herd bull. With their concentration firmly on each other, we managed to get setup for a very comfortable 150 yard shot. This bull certainly stood out above the rest and has everything one should look for in a Black Wildebeest bull. Big, cracked bosses and a big sweep.

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

Seems like the more open the terrain, the more wild Hartebeest get. With a little bit of intuition, we made a big loop and came over the back of the only hill in the area. We had to lay down for close to an hour, waiting for this bull to make his way to a respectable shooting distance. Only one mistake was made, and it wasn't by us.

Nice set of animals, congratulations. That Black Impala, very cool. That Kudu had very nice sweeps to the outside, great look
