I hunted with Ray Kemp of Lalapa Safaries in South Africa and had an excellent safari. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on booking a cape buffalo hunt with him again soon. I took 13 animals during my last safari with Lalapa and all but one were great specimens. The one that was not was a kudu in the 46"-47" range that my PH told me in advance was small. I wanted him and let Ray know I wanted him and have no regrets on my decision to take him. My partner took one over 50". Prior to hunting with Ray, I was booked with a different outfitter in South Africa that I would not hunt with again. Ray and his family were just the opposite and went far above and beyond to make my hunt the best it could be, which made up greatly for the other camp and PH. Accommodations and food were excellent and the attention to detail in their camp was top notch. I felt like we were best friends from day one and that continued throughout the entire hunt. Conversation during the hunt was rewarding and Ray is an outstanding guy to spend the days with. I especially liked that he went out of his way to hunt the way I wanted to hunt. I let him know that I did not want to just drive all over the place every day in the jeep to hunt. I like to hike in and hunt. So we hiked in over several mountains multiple times during our hunt and hunted by jeep other times. We took some exceptional trophys both ways. My hunting partner was unable to do long hikes due to health and age and Ray accommodated his needs as well with water holes, jeep hunts, short walks, etc. Both of us left extremely pleased with his overall operation.
