This is a photographic overview of our hunting area. After all the rains we had it is beautiful green. View while driving to the camp Entrance to the camp This Impala ewe is living inside the electrified camp fence. She sometimes leave the camp with the workers , but always comes back. This is the place where all the hunting stories are told The beautiful gardens can be seen through all the openings in the Lapa Best pace to make your food, I smell the Mopani wood burning. The lounge that looks out at the waterhole. Taken from the lower deck with the open lounge and bar in the background The waterhole that can be seen from the camp The entrance to two of the bedrooms All the rooms have a fan (keep the mosquitoes away) and air conditioning. |

Thank you guys , here is some more photos. Aerial view of the hunting area Google map of the concession You can hunt as far as you can see. It is beautiful green at the moment. We had good rains and the Limpopo burst its banks. Trail camera photo of a Leopard taken 06h05 in September last year. There was a bait in the tree. Ten minutes later there were 2. We think the second one was feeding on the bait |

Lovely pictures, Jacko- thanks. That's quite a beautifully built camp, with 'air' too. |

Lovely looking spot to listen to the tales and Jaco do you yourself fly the gyro? I believe they can be difficult at times. |
||||||||

Thanks for the comments, it is one of the most beautiful camps I have seen. I am very happy that I could get a concession on the area. gryphon, no I do not fly the gyro, the owner and his son are the pilots. The son is living on the ranch fulltime and he is flying it most of the time. I will post more photos later today. |

Do you go up with them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
John, yes I go up with them. Usually I do not get a lot of chances, it is always the clients going, it is a 2 seater. Damn it I always loose out |

Here is some more photos The Gyro on the concession A flip over the Limpopo in the Gyro The Buffalo breeding project on the concession, they may not be hunted. They can also not be hunted as they are part of a future breeding program. |

That Sable appears to have nice horns with heavy bases. Very nicely muscled in the shoulders - that profile shot shows he knows he's good. Large or not, they sure look good to me. |

Quote: Daryl, he is still very young, wait till those horns grow until they can almost touch his rump, then they are even more beatiful. Sable antelope are one of the most beautiful animals we have in Africa, unfortuneately a lot of their habitat were destroyed. They are one of the more difficult species to breed, because of their specialised habitat. |

Perfect stalking country, Jaco! I hope you had a great weekend! |

Ben, you are 100% right, this is some of the best stalking areas available, there are plenty of mopani's as well. We had a stressful but lovely weekend - our daughter Clio Cara got married. I will post some photos when we get some. |
