For the great hospitality at the lodge . The food was as home cooked meals at its best! incredible game on this property was also hard to believe. I’m definitely returning for another hunt .

Had a great time with the Zander & Charl Osmers as well as my PH, Johannes. Very organized, hardworking and fun to be with. I shot my bull the first morning with a 60-yard side brain shot. Plenty of elephants and other game animals. In addition to the elephant, I also shot five impalas (end of season remaining quota), three baboons and a zebra. Beautiful lodge, great accommodations, meals and staff.

Everyone was very nice and helpful and worked very hard to get you on turkeys.

The use of a rubber raft on the river to cover more ground. My Guide was persistent.

Another hunter and I spent several unforgettable days with Ignacio and his team. The hunt was well-organized, with excellent outfitters and service. I have extensive hunting experience in many countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia, so I can highly recommend Ignacio as a professional hunter. After we harvested our ibex, he was able to quickly organize a barbary sheep hunt for us. Ignacio found and arranged for videographers for us, and even paid their travel expenses without charging us a cent. It was a wonderful hunt, and I fell in love with the mountains even more!

This was an excellent experience from all aspects. Ignacio is a super person who deeply cares about making sure that your hunt is great. Long before my wife and I flew to Spain, he was arranging for the best rooms in beautiful and historic hotels, and arranged for great traditional Spanish meals. He even sent us a questionnaire to allow us to outline what we liked and disliked. We hunted in rugged and picturesque areas, and I loved the challenging mountain terrain. My hunt started out tough with lousy weather of wind, fog, rain and snow but he and his team of local guides were hard working and persistent, eventually finding an 11 year old ram that I was able to collect. They knew the area very well and where to find the animals. I rented a rifle and it was a great shooting gun (my shot was over 400 yards). Overall just a fantastic experience and it will not be my last hunt with Ignacio.

This was an amazing and truly unique hunting experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a polished lodge hunt, this probably isn’t it—but if you want a primitive, authentic adventure with excellent guides and incredible animals, it’s hard to beat. I hunted the early season (August 14th - August 17th) for muskox and caribou and brought my 20-year-old daughter after my hunting buddy had to bail. She isn’t a hunter, but she loves the outdoors and camping, and having her along made the experience even better. We stayed in tents, which added to the true hunting-camp experience. Be prepared to hike and to help pack animals back to camp. For us, that was part of what made the hunt so rewarding. The quality of the animals was awesome. I was fortunate to take a great muskox bull and an awesome caribou, which made the trip perfect. Our guides, Mes and Rasmus, did an excellent job. They were knowledgeable, hardworking, and respectful, and they took excellent care of the trophies and capes. I also really appreciated that they didn’t drink or smoke in camp. They were great guys to spend the hunt with and added a lot to the experience. We lucked out with the weather. It was mild, we didn’t get any rain, and it had been a dry year, so the ground wasn’t nearly as wet and sloshy as I had expected. We barely noticed the bugs either. We brought bug nets and didn’t really need them, but they’re small enough that I’d still recommend packing one just in case. Meals are about what you’d expect from a primitive camp—cereal, cheese, bread and jam for breakfast, and sandwiches that we made and packed for lunch. One of the coolest things was being able to drink water straight from the streams and lake. After a long day of packing out the muskox, my daughter and I even took a cold plunge in the lake. On our final night in camp, we ate meat from both animals, which was an awesome way to finish the hunt. Another highlight came on the way out of camp. Before heading back into town, Mes and Rasmus took us to see the Greenlandic Ice Cap. That was an incredible addition and made the trip feel like much more than just a hunt. There is some downtime in camp, so bring a good book, playing cards, or something else to pass the time. We arrived a day before the hunt and stayed a day afterward, which gave us time to walk around Kangerlussuaq. It’s a small place. The town cafeteria is in the airport, and the grocery store is right across the street. We also walked out to Ferguson Lake and tried to visit the museum, although unfortunately it was closed both times we went by. Overall, this was a fantastic adventure. The primitive camp, hiking, packing animals, incredible scenery, quality of the muskox and caribou, and excellent guides made it exactly the kind of hunting experience I was hoping for. Being able to share it with my daughter made it even more memorable. If you’re comfortable with a primitive camp, willing to put some miles on your boots and help with the work, I highly recommend the experience.
