Successful Macnab Challenge
The trip immediately started with a catered pickup from the Johannesburg airport, followed by a relaxing drive to a reserve containing breathtaking animals. To say the Big 5 would be an understatement. Following the conclusion, my arrival at the lodge included a welcoming owner, operator, PH, and chef who began explaining the festivities planned for the hunt in the morning. The bonfire, dinner and dessert were delicious (including Kudu game meat). The lodge included my own private kitchen, living room, and clean bedroom. The morning started with a rifle warmup session for acclimating to the top-of-the-line equipment provided and the hunt began. The reserve size was expansive, with 4-wheel transportation everywhere to prevent becoming tired throughout the long and fun day ahead! The macnab challenge included a Guineafowl, Impala, and Bass in the agenda. Guineafowl run quickly and aren’t the largest birds, but the PH and operator ensured we found a suitable location with Guineafowl for action, crossing the Guineafowl off my list. The impala hunting was amazing. Many bucks and herds running and grazing across the land. It was a challenging time throughout the midday as the heat kicked in. We paused for a fantastic brunch ant the lodge, and fished for several hours in a local lake then private Eco-friendly (owned by Rust De Winters) resort that had large mouth bass swimming in the river alongside. An exhilarating catch was in-store and resulted in checking the bass off my list. The owner mentioned that transitioning to a blesbok instead of an impala was an option as the day progressed for more exciting options! Lo and behold, my PH identified a grazing heaven with Blesbok. My operator advised me which animals were fair game, and we setup in the truck. Despite the brush, a visible shot was apparent which concluded the day. We celebrated with another sunset safari to see giraffes and zebras, followed by another excellent meal. I cannot wait to come back, as this was an experience I will NEVER forget. Thank you, Rust De Winters!
The owner, operator, and PH made sure my stay was terrific.
The most amazing honeymoon
Everything was top class. From the hunting to the accommodations, food and overall experience. We will no doubt be back for even longer than a week next time, it is a truly remarkable property with so much to access.
Nothing, everything was amazing
Very nice place to hunt.
Accommodations are excellent! The food served is very good and I considered it gourmet quality. Very nice, comfortable hunting vehicles. Plenty of game running around with some good trophy animals in the mix. Lots of things to do in the area for non hunters. Overall a very good hunt.
Property is a bit small, but still challenging to get the bigger trophy animals.
