Matswani or Cruiser Safaris

[crossfire3006]

I've been corresponding with Pieter and Lizelle at Cruiser since February of this year. They're wonderful people. Heading there in April 2026 for my first PG hunt.

I went with my brother and Father @Shootist43 to Cruisers in 2016 for our first safari. Pieter is a real practical joker during my first range session while I was shooting off sticks, he filled my pant pocket full of gravel, on our first night there I fell asleep on the couch in the lounge, and they painted my fingernails red. We had a great time, the lodge is great, and the food is even better, plan on gaining weight if you hunt with Cruisers. As I recall the longest drive, we had to get to a different concession was 20 minutes once you left Pieters property. The hunting was great, we finished in 8 days, leaving us 2 days for other activities.

This being your first safari, I recommend you be very clear with your outfitter and PH what your expectations are and what trophy size you are looking for. If you are just hunting Plains Game, I would recommend SCI Silver or higher as your starting point. If you are planning on hunting Kudu with Cruisers tell Pieter you want a mountain Kudu, the kudu there are larger that his flat land ones.

Fell free to send me a DM if you want to talk about Cruisers or just safari in general.
