Eastern Cape, South Africa
I just got home from my first African safari with Gamka Safaris on the Eastern Cape. Words cannot describe the experience I had with Ken Whiley and his crew. The accommodations and hunting were first class, and the quality of animals was amazing. I was able to harvest 8 species, and doubled up on a cull Blesbuck so I could get a flat skin also. I guess I’ve got the bug now, and planning my next trip/list! I would recommend Gamka Safaris to anyone looking to go. He has plenty of openings due to all the cancellations because of this nonsense that we are all living through right now. Travel was cheap, testing to get back was easy, and Qatar Airlines was the way to go (even though it’s considerably longer). I still have perma-grin, that I’m sure will not be going away anytime soon!

Congratulations. I have not hunted with Ken Whiley, but got to spend some time with him in camp a few weeks ago. He's a straight up good guy and a pleasure to get to know.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
