Hi Doubleplay, It's on the border of SA and Botswana in the far Western part of Limpopo Province.

Thanks Dave,
I hunted in the area couple times on the properties bordering Botswana on the river.
I'm confused because you said quota is from a government reserve but the hunt will take place on a private reserve?
Can you explain?

Yes, we are in partnership with the government. We own 30% Government 70%. Its been closed to the public since 2013. We have exclusive rights to the reserve.
 
dang if I did not have a hunt planned in April I would jump on this, someone will have fun
 
Just curious to know if there are any size limits? What would be the typical trophy size range to expect?

I respect very much that you put the acreage right in title!!

No Size limits. Focus will be on old cantankerous bulls. Previous bulls ranged from 34'' - 40''. The average was 35''. If you are looking for inches, then our private ranch would be more suited.
 
Guys buff hunting with @DAVE FREEBURN SAFARIS is epic. I took one with him in june and had an absolute hoot of a time. I think we put in 30KM ish on foot to get him on the salt.
 
What are your accommodations for this hunt?

Is the lodge / camp on the property?

Can this hunt take place 2026?
 
Unfortunately, this is for the 2025 season. Our accommodation it’s a lodge on the property. We are in the process of renovating the rooms so will have a new feel to the lodge come May.
