Operated by Buffelspan Safaris, the camp was located about a 4 1/2hr drive from J'burg in the Northern Limpopo Province. The camp was very well appointed and under the supervision of
Mr L H Oliver and Mr. Johan Human. Cooking was
done by "Ollie's" lovely wife Petro who had a never ending supply of great game dishes for the twelve days we were in camp.
This was my third hunt in RSA and Tom's first one. If the old saying about Beginners Luck holds true then Tom is a poster child.
On the 3rd day of the hunt he managed to bag an honest 59" Kudu. I told him there is only one way to go from there.
Weather was good, a cold front had just moved through and it was chilly the first couple nights but warmed up later on.
We both took good Gemsbok and Zebra, Tom also held true to form and took an exceptional
Blue Wildebeest and Blesbok.
The property is crawling with good Warthogs and I took three, one was a dandy.
We enjoyed great food, friendship and the African experience for 12 great days.
Anyone looking for a good outfitter for a
Plains Game Hunt should give this outfitter a
look. I will be going back.

Let's see a picture of that kudu and 54" impala!

Brett, you beat me to the punchline.

Rob, we need pics, pics, and pics, man!

Working on pics guys! Ive been bedridden since I got back, seems a nasty ole spider paid me a visit just before I came home. I will try to get some pics out soon. Rob

Welcome home Rob. In addition to posting pictures here I'm hoping you will bring a laptop to the SSG so we can see all the pictures. Mark

Mark;

You got it!

Rob

Rob,

Sounds like you were having a great time until you got bitten by the wrong safari bug.

Rick

Pics please !!!

I don't know which I want more...to see the pix or to find out if you survived the spider bite...

Seriously--hope you're okay--and would love to see the pix as well.

sounds great Rob. Looking forward to seeing pics!

Thanks for the thoughts guys! The spider bite has pretty much run its course. The bite site has healed leaving a small divot in my back that they say will eventually go away. Still not sure which species got me but it was not a lot of fun for sure. Funny thing was, I dont even know when it happened. Probably the night before we left for home or on the plane itself, I will never know. I will try to email some pics to a more techno savvy person so they can post them if I have any volunteers?
