Well I finally bit the bullet for 2014. After 2012 in Ghana and 2013 in Ethiopia it is back to RSA. For the first time ever I am going to do some tourist days. Going to spend 3 days in the midlands visiting the battlefields of the Anglo-Zulu wars. Then a short 7 days hunting for Vaal Rhebok (semi tiny) and Red Hartebeast yes I have never seriously hunted them. Hopefully some of the small cats.

You must enjoy the Vaalie hunting it is great, will you be hunting the eastern cape for them or the western cape?

We are hunting in the mid lands, Mark says about a 3 or 4 hr drive from the battle fields. I hunted the mid lands about 05 or 06 for Vaalie with no luck or should say I missed the one chance in five days. He has promised me it will be no "walk in the park", as some think hunting in RSA always is just that. Will probably just have a nice dinner at the club after a couple sun downers.

spear, it is a guest house about 4 minutes from the airport. It is handy and not noisy. They have good food and nice rooms. They usually have 2 choices for dinner and a very nice comfortable bar over looking their common area. They have a nice airy room for breakfast. I just got my invoice (settle at time of stay) for two in one room R880. You are just staying not buying the property if you know what I mean. This will be my 4th or 5th stay with them and I always eat there no need to go out looking for a place to eat.

DOJ I hope you have a great time here in Kwa Zulu Natal! Maybe you should add a Common Reedbuck if you don't already have one as they are a "signature species" of the rolling midlands hills. Their cousins the mountain Reedbuck are also slightly higher up the slopes.

JCHB, I was able to get my Mt Reed buck and Klippy on the same hunt in northern RSA and my common Reedbuck near Hluhluwe. In fact I got the common on the same hunt that I hunted Vaalie with out success. I am looking forward to my return to RSA.

Nope. I'll look this weekend, though.
