SOUTH AFRICA: South Africa Eastern Cape With GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS April 2026

Outfitter: @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS
Location: Eastern Cape South Africa
April of 2026

My wife and I traveled for our second safari to South Africa. The first time we were in Limpopo and was a fantastic trip. This trip, however, was AMAZING! I will never be able to put into words how much we enjoyed everything about this most recent trip.
I will start with the planning. Wikus, the owner and PH was great with communicating and answering all of my questions..no matter how minor they were. I knew from all the recommendations here on AH that I was in good hands. Indeed that was the case.
I had planned this trip to target a Cape Buffalo so I took advantage of a great package that Game4Africa provided me. Also on the list was Cape Kudu, Springbuck and I added some others as well.
The wife and I wanted to make more of the trip than just safari so we planned to do some vacationing in and around Cape Town. I did not tackle this alone and will share that I got a number for a tour guide from another member here and reached out to a gentleman named Faiez in Cape Town and he took care of a lot of the travel arrangements and even the rifle permits for me. Not sure of the rules so if you need contact info for Faiez PM me. He was amazing and he and his airport crew helped with travel immensely. More on that later as we did most of the sightseeing after the safari.
My wife, Kris, is not a hunter but she was with me every step of the way and enjoys that. The last time we were in Africa I burdened her with asking her to video the hunt. Let me tell you that is too much to ask and we pretty much abandoned that idea after a few hunts....she was not having it and I understand why. This time we had a plan. We had a cameraman arranged to be with us on this adventure and Wik arranged that very easily for us. Dean was wonderful and although I haven't seen the full product yet I have seen other hunts he documented and it was worth the cost no question. Kris and I enjoyed his company on the truck and in the lodge it was like having another hunting buddy with us.
On to the trip....
We flew Delta and the main flight was from Atlanta direct to Cape Town. This was a typical cross Atlantic flight with no real hiccups. I can tell you the feel in Cape Town is much better than Jo'berg and I would recommend that even if not staying over at all. We arrived at 8pm so we stayed over to catch a flight to Port Elizabeth the next day. The incoming flights tend to arrive late so you half to overnight. We stayed at the Portswood Hotel in Cape Town. I recommend that or maybe the Commodore. They hold your rifles in a secure area at either so this gives you some peace of mind. Faiez had people waiting on us with a sign when we stepped of the plane. They helped us navigate to retrieve the rifles and led us to SAPS and then eventually to Faiez. This step can be a pain and there is not much you can do about it. There was no SAPS officer on scene and Soso had to call for one. It didn't take too long and we were all good.
We grabbed a meal at a local Irish Pub....I know right! and caught up on some rest . The next day we didn't have a flight until late afternoon so we walked around the waterfront area of Cape Town.....it's safe there and the Portswood is located right there. Our flight on Airlink was no issue wither and again the Faiez and his people helped navigate the back and forth with rifles. I will say it is much easier to travel there without your own guns but I'm a gun guy and to me it is worth taking my own....especially for the Cape Buffalo as I had a special gun for that.
We arrived in Port Elizabeth and were greeted by Don one of the other PH's for Game4Africa. We also met three hunters from Canada who were on safari at the same time. They had been on the same Airlink flight.
Hunters are a great breed as we all tend to get along.....this was no exception and the three gentlemen were a blast. I even got to hunt with John at the end ...more on that later.
After a couple hours in the dark we arrived at the main lodge. What a spectacular place. You will see the photos and likely may have seen it from other posts but the views and accommodations are even better in person. The rooms are very nice and the gathering room lodge is a nice place to relax and have meals and talk. You get to look around and add to your list as well after looking at all the animals on the wall.
Speaking of animals....we woke up the next day to see that the chalets and lodge overlooks fields that are just full of game. Warthogs all over as well as others like Nyala and waterbuck.
Breakfast then off to shoot the rifles. I will take the time to give some advise here as althought this is only my second trip to Africa I have traveled a lot with rifles for both hunting and work. I recommend that you take the scopes off and put them in carry-on. There are plenty of mounts that allow for this and they aren't always quick release but still repeatable. I use Talley on the big bore and the other was Hawkins rings that have the exposed nut to attach the ring to the base. We went to the range after breakfast and the Boys from Canada shot the Sako camp rifle and it was spot on. I shot the Winchester 70 458 win mag and it was spot on with the Swarovski Z8 1-8. I also brought my Seekins Element PH2 7mm PRC. It was also spot on and needed no adjustment.
The hunt began.........Stay tuned!

The hunt begins.......So after confirming zero my wife and I set out with Wik , with Dean capturing it all, with the intent to locate buffalo and/or kudu or nyala. The property surrounding the Woodvale lodge is vast. Turns out this was the "small" property of several that Game4Africa hunts. The properties and views are some of the things that just impressed us the most. As I reported, we had hunted in Limpopo in 2024 and it was a great first trip, however, for me the difference in terrain and the hunt are night and day. Limpopo, at least where I was, was what you often hear of hunting tracks of mostly flat heavy brush covered land. This entails covering grids of tract land and spotting and stalking once you see animals.
The Eastern Cape is just different overall and much more to my taste in how it is hunted. It is also better for the observer, my wife Kris in this case, as there is so much beauty in the landscape that she never got bored following us around. Again not taking away from any hunts in Limpopo or elsewhere but as you will read, the landscape hunted at Game4Africa changes even within the same area. I never got the fenced in feeling that you can get in Limpopo. The "small" area is something like 23 square miles. There are parts of that area that I still haven't seen.....well not yet anyways!
The landscape is similar to Colorado, Wyoming and then Nevada or Arizona.....all within a few minutes drive.
So we started off in the Land Cruiser and we were looking over the landscape that was a vast valley filled with areas of brush and rock, but had enough open areas where we would easily spot game. Well, when I say we I mean Wik and the tracker or Dean....at first at least. It takes some time to know what you are looking for as the animals are all different that what I am use to and the coloring is even different enough to make it a challenge. Once you get the hang of it it gets easier...say by day 5 of a 7 day hunt!
If I remember correctly the first animal Wik spotted was a waterbuck.....a term I heard him say a lot over that week....He would be driving or glassing and you would just hear "Waterbuck" and he would point. They were plentiful there...likely because I wasn't searching for one ...that makes sense to most hunters I'm sure. We stopped to view down into the valley and across it and Wik spotted a nice Nyala bull. i think we had seen a few females first and this bull was off to the right across the valley some 300+ yards away. We moved to the edge of the valley to get a good view of the area and after a short wait Wik spotted the bull again. Let my tell you I don't think I ever told Wik but behind buffalo the Nyala was my number one target. Those bulls are just so beautiful and this one was a giant from my virgin eyes. Wik set up the sticks.....that we had already adjusted for my short stature....and waited for the bull to step into an opening....we all know how that works ...the bull moved up and away from said opening and zig zagged a bit. He finally cam to a stop in an opening above a path about 220 yards away if I remember correctly. I settled the crosshairs of the Nightforce scope and had to force the Indiana deer hunter in me to move the crosshairs directly onto the shoulder. my heart was pounding and even at 220 the crosshairs were jumping with every beat. I settled it with some shoulder pressure and pulled the trigger. The rifle is suppressed so the bang was soft and immediately followed by the tell tailed thwap of the bullet striking the cavity. The bull went down quickly and the anticipation of seeing this magnificent animal only increased. We got to him and I was in awe of just how beautiful his coat was. His horns were nice and long with the ivory tips. I will say Although I consider myself a trophy hunter in that I want a Big one like most .....I never put a tape to any of the horns. Am I curious, well sure but the animal was down and it no longer mattered as he was clearly mature and a fine specimen. The photos will confirm this and some day I will have a number.....I may even share it. The crew arrived to load the animal after the proper respectful photos were taken to capture the moment as best as it could. Dean's video will soon confirm the moments happened like I remember....and I can't wait to see it from the perspective of his lens.

Awesome bull! Congratulations.

 

[Firebird]

Beautiful bull! My first animal there was also a nyala bull-a very special animal. I’ve been there a number of times and also still haven’t seen all the home property, but parts of it are holy ground for me!

 

[SCHUNTER73]

Beautiful Nyala!

 

[Andrew62]

Reading your post brings back wonderful memories for all of us who have previously hunted with Wik, that's one great operation!! Congratulations on a really nice nyala, I love the width on yours! I can't wait to read more about your hunt!!!

Great bull! Can’t wait for the next bit of the report!

Continuing the hunt........
I forgot to mention that on the day of arrival at Game4Africa, actual the evening of arrival, they had a splendid meal prepared for us. In fact all the food was amazing! I had the best intentions to take notes on meals and the timeline of things knowing that I would forget ....well I failed to take notes and now I may get things out of order or say things that are bit off...like this animal was at this many yards when it was actually closer or further. I say this because we will all get to enjoy a video at some point that will have the full story. This is my way of saying this is my disclaimer about the order of things and this happened but video shows this.....
So after the Nyala was taken back to the skinners we headed back out to continue looking for buffalo and other game. I will say, as I mentioned before, there is not a real sense of a fenced property here at all. The only time I even mention it is on the next portion of the hunt and only because it is part of the story. As we were driving back out to hunt I had a conversation with Wik about his history with PHing and their other business of the Butchery shop. A very interesting history that started with his father and led to he and his brother running both businesses. Anyways, Wik shared with me that his father was doing culling and helping game ranchers and farmers out. This led to me talking about cull animals and what that entails and how that works. Wik explained the concept of injured animals or those on the decline and when the herd needs to be culled a bit for management purposes. He said frankly if we run across a cull animal he would offer a client a reduced price and they could accept it or not and that's how that worked. why I share this is because as we drove to another vast area to hunt we came into the entrance where there is a gate to get in. again this is like 23 square miles of land. As we come through the gate we immediately notice a kudu bull standing there looking at us likely 150 yards away or so. Well if you know much about kudu they don't lend themselves to just standing there waiting to get shot or eaten. It was immediately apparent that this one was not well. We laughed and he said well there is a cull kudu bull right there. I felt compelled, from within not by Wikus in any way, that I needed to do the right thing and take that bull.
We got out of the truck and I recall thinking well this will be an easy mercy killing and did not expect much of a hunt out of it. To our surprise that bull had other ideas. We actually had to stalk that critter a lot back and forth getting glimpses of him through the bush here and there. I had a few fleeting opportunities. Finally we thought that the bull had slipped through and made it out....well I thought that but Wik obviously new better and we circled back and discovered the bull lying in a low area less than 100 yards away. It was again apparent that he was not well. The bull looked at me and I actually got the sense that he was satisfied with our interaction and he was now OK with how it was ending. Corny I know, but it truly felt like the bull was telling me he was happy to have it be this way rather than a long painful starvation or struggle with a 4 legged predator.
We approached the bull and confirmed by its coat and visible bone structure that he was not long for this world far before I stepped foot on the continent.
We gathered photos but were respectful and did not pretend that it was something it wasn't. No words of joy about the hunt were shared just a feeling that we had all done what was right. I give respect to this animal as it turned out to be more of a hunt than I expected when we first came through the gate.
Wik had trackers come and retrieve that kudu and I did ask for the horns and the inner bone of the horns to be added to the taxidermy list. I felt that although they are not a trophy size or even close they are certainly part of this story and I will proudly tell people how they came to be on my sofa table in Indiana. Side note: Hunters may not know that the horns on these animals cover bones that are shaped like the horns. It is a very minimal cost to ask for the inner bone. These are often laid out on a table or mounted to a wall. They simply get the same treatment that a skull does. More on taxidermy later.
We continued with the hunt and again saw several species in the valley and hillside across from us.
I think we were again in the same valley where I shot the Nyala but not 100% certain. A beatiful area nonetheless. Wik spotted a large kudu bull down in the valley and as they often do he was there then suddenly gone as if he was never in that valley. He was spotted again and Wik said "Kurt theres your bull" I don't recall the actual distance....video will remind me I'm sure. But I do know it was more than 200 yards. The bull stepped into a small opening and I took the shot. The bull reacted but did not immediately fall to the earth. It was a down hill shot so myself and the tracker went down as Wik stayed up high. Wik knew the game with an animal like a kudu....not sure if it was fatal he stayed to insure he would see it if it took flight. I approached after the tracker had discovered it. The bull was fatally hit...he just did not secummed to the Barnes bullet yet. I did take another shot at a very strange angle to end its struggle. I don't think it was necessary at all but again the right thing to do. The first shot was true so I include this as a one shot kill for my own satisfaction. Those that know me understand how important shot placement is to me and how I feel the responsibility is to the animal. It was only after the bull had expired that I took the time to look at he horns and at the animal itself. what I learned was that the Cape Kudu's coloring and hair is more disctinctive and elegant than that of the Southern Greater kudu, one of which I already have a pedestal mount of in my basement. The horn size is typically less but the beauty of the hide on the cape kudu is elegant. This was a fine specimin and I am very proud of it......I did not measure it nor did I ask Wik to. Am I curious now....honestly a bit but just for my own understanding much like that of the Nyala. It is a goal to have something impressive but to me when African game are the target it is more about the age and the hunt. There may be an exception to this for me and I am not ashamed to share it. I was hoping for a certain look in a cape buffalo as the image of that beast has been etched in my mind since I was a boy dreaming of hunting in exotic places. What that look was and whether I received that blessing are for another day! Stay tuned my friends it only gets better from here.

Wowsers! Good sportsmanship on the bonus kudu. Thats something non hunters will never be able to comprehend.

So day one was a complete success. It was everything I had hoped for even though we had not spotted any buffalo. Much of that was because we were busy with what the bush had provided. I will also say that if I was a PH with a client I have never hunted with I would not likely set out to hunt a cape buffalo as the first animal. Certainly not saying Wikus did that with me but hell when I rabbit hunt with someone the first time I am leery of there ability to not point a gun at me. Considering all the bad that can happen with dangerous game...I would want to watch a hunter prove themselves to me a bit.
In any event, I am pretty certain that I had gained the confidence of Wik by end of first day.
We had looked for buffalo but had not seen them but did find tracks. I think the boys from Canada had spotted a herd of buffalo near camp on day one. They were in the trees on a hillside that you could glass from the lodge.
The plan for Day 2 was to get up early and look for buffalo feeding. Wik had trackers looking for them from a high vantage point while we we going to an area with grass fields. The buffalo tend to feed early in the morning in the fields so that was a solid plan. We drove into the area and began a stalk on foot towards the fields. We started in an area with moderately thick bush that had pockets of openings. There was a drive that went through that area and we mainly walked down that for ease. We stopped a few times to glass over the edge, as we were elevated above other areas of bush and some grassland below.
For this hunt I had brought a specific rifle for the task. I'm a gun guy and it becomes part of the journey and the fun for me to develop loads and set the rifles up for the best possibility of success. For this I had thought about what I wanted to use. I had a Ruger 375 ruger that I had taken on my last safari and it would work fine but I wanted more. I think many buffalo hunters have dreams of shooting the buff at close range and following up with shot after shot in a dramatic tail of kill or be killed....honestly we know that is not typically the case. Yes buffalo can and do charge but is this really a goal? I have a job that is dangerous enough that I have learned if one can avoid or minimize the danger your odds are better. Hence my excuse to buy a bigger gun.....Yes my wife is reading this...I did it for safety Honey...after all you were standing with me during this hunt also.
The rifle I chose was a Winchester model 70 safari. I bought it second hand from a gentleman that had purchased it for this same task but unfortunately had health issues get in the way of that dream. It is a Cabela's addition with a nice piece of walnut and inlay on the bottom metal. It was in the classic 458 win mag caliber. I had some plans for it before it would be up to the task. Number 1 it had to prove reliable. Several rounds of different factory ammo proved it would eat it all. I then discovered that there was more potential for this rifle. The Winchesters have a long mag box with a block in the rear on the 458s. This is because they use the larger action so it can be used for 416 rem and others. Many will upgrade the 458 wm to a 458 Lott by extending the chamber. With the Winchester this is not necessary because the 458 wm has an extra long throat, meaning you can seat the bullet way far out of the case. If I'm boring you....sorry....this is how my brain works.
OK long story shortened, I made the necessary changes to the rifle myself. If you want to know what that is let me know. The only thing I had a gunsmith do was cut the barrel down from 24" to 20". It makes for a handier tool for such tasks. I added a banded front sight myself and and put a Swarovski Z8i 1-8 scope on top. I handloaded some North Fork 45 grain SS bullets as well as some solids. I was able to push them to 2400 FPS. I knew that would be a deadly combo as that bullet at that speed is proven. The North Fork is a bonded front with a solid copper shank. It should penetrate very deep while also opening like a flower.
Wik had been glassing the areas below as I was scanning the areas close. Buffalo are huge but somehow have the ability to hide very well and find themselves in the dark shade of trees. I recall encounters my wife and I had on our last safari that were border line spooky for us both. Nothing like a herd of buffalo running away from you from 15 to 20 yards then returning in the same manner. It was amazing that the 300 Weatherby mag is considered a large cartridge in the hunting circles but in that moment I felt like I was holding a 22. It obviously worked out. In fact that moment confirmed to me that I would hunt buffalo some day.
We crested the small hill and as we walked down towards two adjoining fields Wik spotted two buffalo bulls feeding in the grass field. They were tucked a bit into a corner but being in the field they were easy to see. We got into a single file line and approached them. At one point I thought they had seen us and had walked off into the bush so I had a moment of "well shit" go through my head. That was no the case they had just moved a bit in the field. There was a lone tree/bush that we put between us as we approached. They were both old bulls and I was fairly certain both were hard bossed and mature enough to take. That decision was for the expert though and Wik soon said that they were both shooters.
I had had a conversation with Wik on day one about what I was looking for in a buffalo. Those that know buffalo know that their horns come in different shapes and widths. No I wasn't expecting Wik to show me photos and have me pick....who would ever want that.. The point I was making is that ever since I dreamed of hunting buffalo I had an image of a heavy bossed bull with a deep curl. Length is not important.........well not for me.....not for buffalo horns boys!
I just wanted Wik to know that a super wide bull may be the goal for someone but that was not for me. I was prepared to pass on a bull if need be, after all these are expensive animals no matter where you hunt them. I wanted a bull that reminded me of the dreams I had in my head leading up to the hunt.
As we got closer Wik whispered in my ear about what bull I wanted. More conversation occurred but that will remain with Wik and I. I will tell you that I was starring at both bulls with intense scrutiny and as they fed they mainly kept their heads down or away....until the bull in the back turned and looked at me. I swear in that moment my heart skipped a beat and as that beast chewed on grass he starred at me like I had sex with his sister! I knew that was the bull. The look, the curls the roman face...he was the one. He had turned a bit and was quartering to us. I had studied shot placement on all the African game but particularly for buffalo. I was at 83 yards and I settled on the sticks and put the red dot of the Swaro so it was on the top of the lower third of the chest place above the gap between the front legs. If true the bullet would be sure to hit the heart or at least lungs.
when Wik gave the OK I fired the shot and immediately ran the bolt to continue the volley. As I recovered from the shot i recall Wik saying good shot......Humbly I got to hear that a lot on this trip but this really meant something....that buffalo was freaking huge! I saw the bull pull up his front right leg knowing the bullet had gone where I had hoped I steadied the rifle for the just in case. The bull went only 30 yards I'm guessing and collapsed. Wik said if you want to you can put in another for insurance.....before I could answer the death bello came and I shook my head no and lowered the rifle. I admit it was bitter sweet. All that work and preparation and for the one shot I had just taken. I smiled and recalled saying to myself..."Hey dummy that was why you did all of that .....this was the way it was supposed to be.....one shot kill on a large cape buffalo bull at 83 yards.
we approached with caution, as one always should but the beast was dead.
we celebrated as I stood in aww. Those things are just massive as evidenced by the number of trackers and the sound of the winch loading that onto the truck. The skinner began their work and filled a 55 gallon barrel with the grass from that beast's stomach. That would have been a task for any bullet to get through even the solids. Thankfully that never happened, in fact they pulled the heart out and I am happy to report it was darn near severed in half.....By luck or by practice.....no matter........the bullet had found it's mark.
I find myself still looking back at the phots and reliving that moment. It was not the deep thick bush setting Ihad imagined. I never thought I would be at the edge of a field taking the shot but as they say you take what the bush gives you even if there is no bush involved. I am proud of that buffalo and happy that it will adorn my basement with the same look it had at THE moment. Best of all I did it with my best friend beside me. My loving and very tolerant wife of soon to be 23 years. Kristine (Kris) is who made this possible for me. She willingly joined me on my very first safari and she knows how much that means to me. This time she was genuinely more excited to accompany me and I will tell you. She had said before this trip that she was happy to do this again with me but this would likely be her last trip to Africa. She knows I have met several people that have asked me to join them on safari and has encouraged me to go with them. That is a plan......but I am happy to report that she had such a great time at Game4Africa that before we even left there she said she would love to return again. Boys I am a lucky man. I am blessed to have the love and support of such a wonderful and beautiful woman. She will tell you herself she is more like one of the guys which is why I think this works so well for use on safari together. She is also the reason that Dean the camerman was with us on this trip. She was free to enjoy the moment for real and not have to worry about capturing the shot. I will cover more about cameraman Dean later, but I will say again it was more like having a buddy on the hunt with us than anything else. He was a joy to have with us and we shared some great laughs. Even a double rainbow laugh you will soon read about!.
Thank you Wikus, Dean and mostly Kris for making this dream come true! But wait there's more.......
