There is no doubt that 2020 was tough on everyone. And those of us who work in the safari industry were certainly not spared.

In March of 2020 I left for my second marketing trip to exhibit at the Edmonton Boat and Sportsmen’s show. Halfway through the first day of the show, we received news that all public gatherings had been banned in Canada, so this was the end of the show for us (fortunately not the end of the road).

We returned home, just in time for South Africa’s first ever complete lockdown and over the next months it dawned on us that there would be no hunting with international clients in 2020... Hunts that had been booked for 2020 were subsequently rescheduled for 2021 and 2022.

As time progressed, it became evident that 2021 would be nowhere close to normal from a hunting perspective either with many clients yet again moving their hunts over to 2022...

Fortunately, some of our clients were more than hungry to come back and hunt in Africa and despite the challenges that they faced getting here, they “bit the bullet” so to speak and made their way over here. One such group were my friends from Utah.


Paul's first African animal - an old Gemsbuck taken in the Mountains of Sabrisa Ranch.


Paul's Kudu - also taken in the mountains of Sabrisa Ranch.


Paul's Impala - a 25" dandy - from Sabrisa Ranch!


Ty's first African animal - a white Blesbuck taken with a bow!


Alan's Kalahari Springbok


Wade's Kalahari Springbok


Alan's Lion


Wade's Lion - taken with his black powder double as it charged!


Alan's 44" Sable - hunted on Sabrisa Ranch


Ty's Black-Backed Jackal


Wade's first animal ever with his bow - Nyala.


Paul's Golden Wildebeest


Vicena's Golden Wildebeest


Wade's Genet


Ty's Gemsbuck


Wade's Lioness


Alan's Lioness


Alan's Red Lechwe


Alan's Black Wildebeest


Vicena's Black Impala


Wade's Blesbuck


Ty's Baboon

These were the highlights. All and all a very successful safari thanks to clients like Alan and co who had decided - enough is enough - and stood up to the challenge of getting to South Africa in these difficult times.

Great to see things slowly returning to a semblance of normal Chris! Thanks for the report.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Some nice trophies, especially those "wild" lion.

My comment may irk some people, but I have a hunting ethic I will not break, and one of them has to do with shooting captive bred lion.

I do not think Chris is selling it as anything else? The golden wildebeest is a freak but different strokes for different folks.

It's permitted in SA, and as you say "different strokes for different folks".......its just not for me; even seeing them as "trophies" bothers me.

No offence to Chris.

Fully understand and Neil we are fortunate to entertain hunters who want to explore the wild.

Chris is a good operator.

Chris,

Nice trophies, I like Joe's bushbuck, looks like a dandy.

Just thinking that Joe was leading the group with fine trophies. He has more pictures.
