Antonio Rocchi together with his wife and Allesandro Conte from Italy hunted with us for three days. Allesandro harvested an impala and Antonio a blesbuck and gemsbuck.

Dick & Michael Gunn spent 12 days of hunting with us in August.  Dick says his guide Beans, was the most competent PH he has ever hunted with. His personal highlights was the ox wagon camp, the great birding and his bushbuck! Michael says his guide Johan, was patient beyond comprehension, nice young man and exceptional host. He says he has been on three African hunts but the service and care and food on this was the best.
