We're offering a 1x1, 10 full hunting days, 11 nights special on 25,000 private acres in South Africa's Eastern Cape for $5,235.00! This can be taken in 2012 if you book BEFORE by January 1st 2012. We have a couple of dates remaining for this year in Aug/Sept. 50% deposit required to confirm dates. VAT applies to daily rate. You have trophy fees included for the following:
1 x Cape Kudu
1 x Southern Impala
1 x Common Springbuck
1 x Black Wildebeest
1 x Warthog over 8”
1 x Warthog under 8”
1 x Duiker or Steenbuck
1 x Common Blesbuck
There is no additional trophy fee or charge for taking top record book animals, and this ranch is known for taking top trophies each year. You may add other trophies at current prices. Ranch offers outstanding Blue & Black Wildebeest, common and White Blesbok, Cape Bushbuck, Waterbuck, Eland, Zebra, Nyala, Warthog, Kudu, Impala, Red Hartebeest and more. Last year I took a 30" Blue Wildebeest and 30" Waterbuck. Troops of Baboon are in and out of the ranch but they are quite clever. I took a big male last year and have taken them on previous occasions. I can highly recommend this ranch and its staff. You will not be hunting while others are in camp. It will be exclusive to you and/or your party. Ranch is broken terrain with high open plains and bush covered ridges and deep ravines. It is the perfect setting for a couple of hunters or your family. References available. Contact me for details.

A few pics two of my clients took this past August.
Asleep on the job! This Hartebeest was facing into a strong wind and taking a nap. Something you rarely catch them doing.

Kudu bull in the bush...a common site early morning and late evening.

Another young bull

Jackal

Warthog...commong here

Check out this lone Blue Wildebeest bull...a 29-30 incher!

Several huge bulls in this mixed group

Before or after your hunt, I suggest a tour of Addo Elephant park. Lots of Ele's and assorted wildlife including Lions.

At least the tuskless don't have many worries about ivory poachers!

originally stated "This can be taken in 2012 if you book BEFORE December 15th 2011" Has this date changed?

I would also like to see trophy prices for other available trophies. PM if you don't want to post the entire list please.

Thank you.

Email sent. Sounds like a great offer with tremendous potential to add a few nice animals at reasonable cost.

Thanks for the emails all. It has been another good year, with many excellent trophies coming off the ranch. Spring is here and with summer approaching, I'm confident there will be good calving this year. Another 30" Waterbuck was recently taken, but the slick one continues to elude.

Another client of mine (who doesn't surf the net) asked me to post his remarks and photo's of a recent hunt with us on this same private ranch.
"My first African hunt and it was fantastic! The hunting was excellent and I had to work for my trophies, nothing came easy, but all were very satisfying experiences. I used the .300 Weatherby with 180 grain Trophy Bonded Bear Claws. Was very happy with trophy quality, (which there were plenty of trophies to hunt), lodging, food, personel was all great! I can't wait to do this again. As David told me, I would get the bug if I ever went, and I have the bug bad."






Check out this Blue Wildebeest. This is where the #12 in the World came from. I've taken two 30 inchers. This one went 29.5" and check out the mass of these bases!

Hasher - so is knowing the difference between and agent and a safari company. Grey Ghost is the agency.

Sorry for the slow replies guys, I have been away hunting and did not receive and notifications. For future reference, if you have questions, just send me an email. I'll be happy to reply ASAP or give you a call if you like. Vinny, the company is ZS Safaris. I am their agent and it's a quiet affair. We do not run big groups through this private ranch each year and it's on a personal level. If one or 5 hunters are hunting with us, we will not bring in other hunters. The ranch is yours exclusively while you hunt with us. I have hunted this ranch many times, and it maintains a very high trophy potential due to management that works.

cameronaussie; yes, we can handle 4-5 hunters/obsevers but prefer to limit to that number max. Any questions/concerns, just email me. I'm always happy to send pics or references.

As mentioned, there will be a slight increase beginning the first of the year: Jan 2012. Book now to save!
