KWALATA SAFARIS 2023 Safari Hunting Season

[get015]

So our season in South Africa on Waterberg Wilderness reserve is off to a great start!

While Johan and the crew have been experiencing some heavy rains on the first day’s hunt, it did make for some great sightings!

My very best as always!

That looks like a picturesque place to hunt. I think the big tuskers just make it.

Side note: That waterbuck is a freak, whoever eventually bags him will have one wild trophy.

Jaco, you’re killing me dude! Just 110 more days and I’ll be sitting by that campfire.

121 days for me - more pictures please.

Jaco - My buddy and I had a great time visiting with you and @AjFourie at DSC. Thanks for the hospitality!

Love the wonky horn on the waterbuck. Nice and green and looks like an incredible area.

Hi Dave, hope you guys are well? Incredibly green, we have just been declared a disaster management area due to excessive rainfall the last couple of days…
Have some German and Norwegian hunters in camp as we speak and they struggling to get in hunting time.
My best always.

Sorry to hear about the heavy rains. It’s a bummer for your clients there now. Hope conditions improve soon.

A couple of new pics.
Nice mid 50’s narrow horned Kudu bull.

Our first Kudu bull of the season.

No hunting today as we are being hammered with rain but will keep you posted on further updates.
My best as always!

Love the curls on the first bull of the season. Very deep. Keep the pictures coming!

Another couple wildlife and scenery pics.
Really nice Kudu bull note it is not the same bull as above similarly shaped but stripping does not match.

A pic from World’s view of the Mokolo River and landscape.

Johan guided a good looking impala ram this afternoon (I just don’t like the picture! ;-)

My best, as always.

I had planned to see you this year in May. Then my son begged me to go next year after he built up more vacation time. This is going to be a very tough year watching the hunt pics come in and wishing I was there. Save me a huge Kudu!

 

[AZDAVE]

Looks like the new area will yield some fantastic animals this year, and in the years to come.

Jaco and AJ….meer foto's en stories asseblief! I’m suffering from pre-trip anxiety. Please blame Google translator if I just asked you to rotate my tires in Afrikaans.
