Royal Karoo Safaris – Eastern Cape

A great Cape buffalo hunt that was textbook perfect.

An opportunistic Golden Wildebeest (Gnu) out of nowhere on top of a mountain. Mountain hunting at its best quite extreme at stages, a real hunt.

A five-day stalk, on my nemesis, the Zebra, with a successful conclusion.

All three hunts were fair chase, with nature having the final say.

My PH, Andrew Birch, was brilliant, and his knowledge on African hunting was “second to none”.

Rob Birch (the owner of Royal Karoo) was articulate, honest, and treated me as a family member.

I loved it, great outfitters, lovely genuine people, old style African hunting, with a 5-star accommodation twist to it.

The chef, and cuisine, was like dining at a “3 Michelin hats” restaurant.

I felt like I was in the movie “Out of Africa” and that was only day one of the Safari.

Loved it and didn’t want to come home.

Thank you to Ian head, for organizing a truly great (classic) African Safari, of a bygone era.

Let’s do it again…and again…
