[THABA Nyati Safaris]

Hello Lou

Welcome to the forum. I read your post and felt I needed to answer.

Your dream is achievable in the situation hunting finds itself presently. South Africa in particular hosts many outfitters offering hunting opportunities galore.

I could offer you the following:

Thaba Nyati Safaris

The Hunt

Step into the wild beauty of Limpopo’s malaria-free bushveld, where the day begins with birdsong and the promise of adventure. At Thaba Nyati Safaris, every hunt is tailored to your skill, style, and spirit of adventure. Whether you choose to track a Cape Buffalo on foot, wait silently at a hide, or set out on a vehicle-assisted stalk, each moment is crafted to deliver the true essence of fair-chase African hunting.

Our hunting grounds span the foothills of the Waterberg Mountains near Thabazimbi, offering rugged hills, open plains, and dense bush. With herds of Plains game we and manage, including over 500 Cape Buffalo on 3,600 hectares and access to more than 100,000 hectares of surrounding concessions, hunters are guaranteed both challenge and reward. No long drives to hunting areas needed.

Hi,
I'm Lou. Thanks for accepting me to the forums.
I have dreamt of an African safari since I was 11 years old (Roosevelt, Ruarke, Hemingway).
I am retired now (finally). I still dream of that hunt very often.
Plains game (especially a kudu) and with maybe a buffalo, to boot. (I have been interested in the latter ever since I recently found out they are good eats. ).
Anyway, I look forward to chatting with you guys and gals.
Thank you again.
-Lou

Shoot the buffalo first, I shot mine on the last day and did not get to eat it. The guys after me would have had a great time.
