This trip was arranged to the finest detail. Each step was covered from airlines, customs requirements, weapons handling, transfers, ground transportation, etc. We had a spectacular time collecting Kudu, Black Wildebeest, Blesbuck, Impala, Springbuck and the illusive Bushbuck. Accomodations and meals at Tollie's African Safari lodge were superb. Friendly, cordial, accomodating and provided top notch PH's who planned and briefed each successive hunt with the hunters so that everyone knew what to expect. I have been on 4 other major hunts but NONE compare to the professionalism and quality of this hunt. Take the family, enjoy the mountains and valleys filled with fine examples of African game.
Todd, Steve, Tollie, Karen, Beans, Andri and staff you are the best and thank you for everything. Will see you again next year.

Sounds like a great hunt! Congratulations. How did the .325WSM work out for you? What loads did you use?

If you have photos post them. I know every one would love to see them.

We hunted with Tollie in 2003 and had the greatest family trip of our lives. He and Karen do everything you would expect and are great people to boot.
Hope you got to meet Wilelm as well - he is a pistol....

I spoke to Tollie yesterday and he told me that Wilem shot his first springbuck this week. He did it while there were a number of hunters in camp and they treated him like aking!

He sure is a pistol!

When you talk to Tollie again, tell him the Murphy's said hello and think of our trip everyday..
