Re: Africa for 1st timers...

blacks, the largest area was about 35,000+ acres. The smallest probably 8,000 acres. If memory serves me, they had 6-7 properties totalling over 150,000 acres. This may have changed since 2008. The boys will hunt you any way you want, spot/stalk, blinds, etc. If you don't like high fences, you may not want to hunt the limpopo, or anywhere[for the most part], in RSA. I must say though that the fences didn't bother me one bit, and the stalks were challenging. I also watched kudu jump one of the "high fences". Since there were 4 of us, we had the whole camp to ourselves. However, I don't think they take more than 6 people max., at any one time. One nice thing for a first safari, you get to Joburg, you are taken to Afton house, overnite, and the boys from cruiser pick you up the next day for the 4 hr. run to camp. No connecting flights, or other fuss. They even deliver you back to the airport at the end of the trip. Here's some pics from the 08 trip.
