In July 2023, together with 3 friends, I hunted in South Africa through Ian Head’s World Safari Xpeditions. This was a return trip for us, having hunted through Ian in 2018. I cannot recommend Ian too highly as a booking agent. Everything was organised for us, including flights and all paperwork for taking our rifles into South Africa (and getting them back into Australia). Ian arranged for us to be met at Johannesburg airport by Air2000 who shepherded us seamlessly through Passport Control and the South African police - upon arrival and departure. Ian had arranged for us to overnight at the Afton Lodge - an excellent, comfortable and very safe private hotel, about 15 minutes from the airport.

We had a 10 day hunt in the north of the Limpopo Province, near to the Zimbabwe border, where we took some spectacular game, including two very good 42 inch Cape buffalo, warthog, impala, nyala, wildebeest, baboon, jackal. Great hunting and great accommodation.

It was such a good trip that we are going back in 2024 and we will of course do this through World Safari Xpeditions.
