Fantastic place to hunt! First class lodge, amazing staff and great professional hunting guides! The prices for trophies are very reasonable and the quality is top notch! I was hunting the 5 different Springboks, Lechwe and Roan Antelope. Everyone in my group got what they came for as well as additional animals. I'd like to return for a Cape Buffalo as they had fine examples and the price is right. The terrain here is skin to hunting in the American west, and we all greatly enjoyed it.
