| Explanation | Limcroma Safaris worked hard to proved me with the hunt of a lifetime. I saw many hundreds of game animals, the food was excellent, the lodging was very comfortable, and the professional hunters were all very hard working. | |
| How the Hunt is Conducted |
| I wanted to rifle hunt
Africa, so my hunt was conducted largely on foot throughout
various concessions owned and leased by Limcroma Safaris.
Each day, we rode around in the hunting truck looking for fresh
sign. As sign was found, we would begin to hunt on foot,
often walking several miles in pursuit of game. On the impala and kudu hunts, we got in tree stands and hunted as if we were after whitetail deer. If you are archery hunting, very comfortable ground blinds overlooking water holes are available. |

My first trip to Africa went extremely well. I planned this hunt for a year and a half, and Hannes was very patient with my many questions. The came was beautifully maintained. Each hunter has a private chalet which consists of a bedroom and a bathroom. You can hear the antelope walking outside of your window at night, and the jackals howl in the bush behind camp. There's a large firepit to sit around each evening. The professional hunters were all very friendly and worked incredibly hard to put me on quality game animals. The food consisted of various game animals cooked in wonderful ways. Every meal that I ate was delicious. Drinks were available 24 hours a day, and snacks were provided around the campfire each night. I saw many specimens of each game animal that I was after, and was able to choose only the best to shoot. |
