Some of the other visitors to the hides or tree stands....
Grey Duiker
Following morning another Grey Duiker
Waterbuck
some of the birds....
Steenbuck ewe
Evenings were spend around a fire relaxing.....
and then I got the shot at the primary target species for this trip.
Impala ram
I have all ready started counting down the days to my next trip.
I have seen some monster Kudu Bulls and this time they will be the target species.....
Congrats on a couple of beautiful trophies!
Well done!
I'm a rifle hunter, but would really try the bowhunting sometime..
Have thought of buying proper equipment, and practising before my next safari. Then maybe doing rifle and bow 50-50.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
