Returning home as Happy Hunters
Very friendly and professional outfitter head by Alex running 3rd generation family business. The lodge Royal Thabane is an excellent 5 star one. Using Rigby rifles with Z8i Swarovski's optics was a good experience. My PH Gary was exceptional. Very calm, hard working and friendly person with exceptional knowledge of animals and animal behavior being also a vet himself. He was very selective to find old, mature animals rather than point and shoot style. Our tracker has several times beaten the dogs. Overall very good experience and left with only good memories.
Food was excellent. Only thing, being in Africa would have liked to eat more game meet but it was also understandable that we were the ones opening the season.
High end accommodations and excellent game.
I love this place from the first visit in 2012
All was great
