Good day AH community!

This is always a very exciting adventure that we are happy to offer to you all! This is our fifth year offering this hunt and we could not be more pleased to offer it again! It is always a welcome financial injection into looking after, maintaining and growing our population going forward (Rhino eat a lot in times of drought!).This hunt is of course a very modern and affordable way to complete your big 5 and achieve that incredible hunting milestone. We have yet to meet a friend or client who has not said it was one of the best things they've done in terms of hunting!

This hunt will take place in the Limpopo Province and is a painless 4 hour drive from OR Tambo International Airport. There are multiple Rhino on the concession (exact numbers not to be revealed for security reasons) and you will need to stalk into close range to be able to administer the dart. Although their eyesight may be poor their nose and hearing is great and it is a serious nerve wrecker being within range of them! You will need to be roughly 20 to 30 yards away from the Rhino to be effective. Once the hunter has darted the Rhino a licensed veterinarian will take blood samples, perform micro-chipping if necessary, perform DNA ID’s, pregnancy tests (if necessary) and a number of standard check-ups are administered as part of the management and well-being of the animal on an annual basis. No expensive insurance for the Rhino is required for this hunt. The trophies we will be looking to take will range from about 20 to 22 inches. For privacy purposes exact locations are not provided in this post.

You will be guided by a highly knowledgeable dangerous game PH and you will be in safe hands. Should you wish to take home more than a picture of your trophy keep in mind that the quality of fibre glass reproduction rhino horns and shoulder mounts is truly outstanding these days! If so let us know so we can take the correct measurements once we have the rhino on the ground for your reproduction mount.

A wide variety of other species are available to hunt.

Having done this exact hunt with Bayly Sippel Safaris last month, I can attest that this is more of a spiritual experience than a hunting experience. From the food, to the guides to the lodge, everything was wonderful! Highly recommend.
 
I pray that one day I can do this hunt. Thanks for such a wonderful offer.
 
Bayly/Sipple do it right. A first class operation top to bottom. I hunted a hippo with them in 2023. Not sure if it’s the same property where this hunt takes place or not but there were some rhinos on that property and the accommodations there were top notch. If you have ever been interested in this type hunt this is a great place and outfitter to get it done with.

Thank you @Andrew62 we appreciate the kind words tremendously. Hope to see you again one of these days! Have a great deer season back at home!

I’m the lucky guy in the above photo. I can’t say enough great things about the darting of this magnificent animal and hunting with Dempsey of Bayly and Sippel. The whole experience was first class and for such a big animal they can move on a dime. Deets did a fantastic job with the attached video. You can’t go wrong doing a dart hunt and going with Bayly and Sippel.

Did you make a replica of the horns, and just went with the pictures and video? I'm definitely going to do this hunt. It's the only way I can afford such a hunt. Thanks for the info, beautiful hunt. Congrats!
 
I made a replica of the horns. I have them sitting on my bar. I had it done with Kanati Taxidermy. I was originally going to do a shoulder mount and then reality set in - My wife asked where I was going to put it? Above the bed was not the right answer.

That’s too cool. Looks great.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
