Had an incredible hunt in March with Ken Du Plessis of Faun Africa. PH was Willem Vanrooyen. 10 day hunt 2 on 1, my friend killed a 15" wart hog, and incredable Blue Wildebeast a 31" Waterbuck, and a 16" Limpopo Bush buck. I harvested a 26" Impala, 54" Kudu,37" gemsbuck,16" Bushbuck, 17" Blesbuck, a nice Zebra,and a 15" wart hog. Camp was in the Limpopo province, near Steenbokpan. Only two if us in camp, staff was incredable, as was our PH, and Ken is just superb, ironing out all problems,as they arise. I am definitely going back for more hunting here, it was my first trip to Africa, but will NOT be my last. Pictures to follow soon.
 
Glad you had a good time! Sounds like you shot some incredible animals. Can't wait to see the pictures!

Incredibly good pictures!!! I think I like the waterbuck the best! Though that warthog has great bottom tusks! And I don't have a beautiful Limpopo bushbuck either.
 
Awful good stuff for a first timer! We are all envious of those great trophies! Well done!
 
Incredible for a first trip. Congratulations! Nice Bushbuck.
 
Nice animals! That is a great Impala! And where's the blue wildebeest?

That bar is EPIC! Was there last month! Cold beer on our way to the hunting farm......................really an institution!

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
