My follow up to a great adventure:
In 2020 I approached Liam Urry of Liam Urrays Safaris about a hunt posted on Africa Hunting. We agreed to a time line, then CoVid hit and we postponed until March of 2022. My discussions with Liam were always understanding, upfront and courteous.
Upon arrival my wife and I were greeted at the airport, our bags were loaded and we were off to the property and lodge, which was only about a 40 minute drive. Upon arrival we were shown our lodging, which was even more impressive than the pictures online. Introduction was made with his staff. A great meal had been prepared by his excellent Chef Matthew, and then we were off to rest from our long trip, falling asleep to the night sounds of Africa, including the distant roar of lions.
The next morning we arose early to breakfast and discussions with Liam and his camp manager, Hennie, of my and my wife’s desires and expectations, you see while I was off hunting she relished staying in camp reading, bird watching and viewing the many animals who came daily to the water hole just outside our door. All the while drinking good South African wines. Just as a side note, just in case you are trying to talk your wife into coming with you, my wife loves luxury and she was so very pleased with the beautiful large room, king size bed, and what she called better than Marriot bedding.
A little more about the stay, before I expand on hunting. Each day the meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner were prepared. The dinners were 5 star! Each night we would sit on the deck which overlooks the watering hole to enjoy many animals that came down. One night there were over 30 Cape buffalo that just came moseying in and stayed for quite some time.
Due to the time of the year and unusually high rainfall we did have a few tough days in the beginning. But, never once did Liam or his staff bug off and stay in camp! He always had a plan to make something happen, never says quit.
To this end now let me say “Liam will work to the death to get you a representative specimen of the species you are after”!
Needless to say I got all my trophies, a 46 1/2” Black Sable Bull, a 31” Roan Bull, a 28” Lechwe Ram, and a 27” Black Impala Ram. Each exceeded my expectations. By the end of my hunt, I had gotten a bonus. I acquired a
new friend!
In closing, I give Liam, his staff and his organization an A+ grade. I am convinced you will be 100% satisfied. I stake my name and reputation on it.
