Default Kudu paradise report

I have just returned from one of the most awesome bow hunting concessions in South Africa I have ever seen.

www.africabowhunt.com
The outfitter: Danie van Jaarsveld
The Professional Hunter: Pieter van Aard

My target species for the 5 days was management Impala rams.

I must say I had the time of my live sitting in neat comfortable pit blinds and elevated hides.

Never a dull moment with the amount of animals visiting the water holes.

The property is situated on the Matlabas river in the Limpopo province.

In front of the lodge:

Sun Rise


I have never seen so many trophy Kudu in my life. If you are prone to Kudu fever you might not survive a day in the hide. To have 12 + kudu with in 20 yards all around you with at least 5 shooters may just be to much to handle for the weak hart…

If you want to harvest a trophy kudu with the bow this is the place. Here are some of the visitors:








Kudu is not the only game that has great genes on this property.

Have a look at this Blue Wildebeest Bull.



I was lucky enough to harvest two Impala rams.
These two guys were past their prime and two old fighters but in my book still awesome trophies.



For the bow hunter this is really paradise with a target rich environment. You will not get better client service, accommodation and food ask the guys that come back for 8 safaris in a row.
