Hi folks,

This offer might appeal for those in search of an adrenaline charged hunt like many have not experienced before...

I have permits available for crop-raiding hippos near Malelane in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga. This is roughly a 4 hr drive East from OR Tambo Airport.

Hunting method is on foot using night sights and scanning sugar cane fields for crop raiders late at night. When we spot a big one we stalk up to it without use of artificial light and typical shooting distance is 30 - 50 yards. More often than not you'll find yourself between the hippo and water which is not for the faint-hearted... But it is indeed an adrenaline-packed adventure for those who can stand their ground... (We know where some big bulls are active at present and whoever is interested in this hunt will have a good chance on success)

Here is a picture of one we got last week. The picture is not the greatest as it was taken with my mobile phone but the bull was a dandy!




Pricing details are as follows:

Cost of package - $9,595 which includes airport pick-up + drop-off, full-board accommodations, services of trackers, skinners and camp staff and all the usual extras such as use of hunting vehicle, daily laundry etc.

Other animals available on same hunt in close vicinity on a 25,000 acre high-fenced ranch are:

Cape Buffalo - $10,000
Sable - $9,000

Other Plains Game available as per my Pricelist

Interested parties please contact me directly or via PM.

Best,

Are you shooting them in the dark??

Go to any concession that has a river or lake in the Selous and shoot them in the thickets near the water in broad daylight - best time is high noon when it is blistering hot - you just need to let your PH know what you have in mind.

Not to distract from Chris's offer, but in the Selous one gets the chance of shooting buffalo as well, and other animals too.

Chris,

How long is the permit valid for? How long in advance can a hunter book such a hunt?

They usually issue them only for a month?

Cheers,
