Helge, Barbara, Victor and Sandra hunted with ECKS. They arrived from Vienna, Austria. The day of arrival was greeted with a splendid sunset which provided a back drop for awesome sundowners.
On day 1:
Sandra is checking her skills on the bench. She is closely watched by Dale and Helge. She proved to be spot on with her shooting and was duly branded the Sniper!!
A brief visit to Kwandwe private game reserve where we all had a scrumptious lunch. On route to the restaurant on Kwandwe we were visited by this zebra with her newly born foal.
In the afternoon Sandra hunted this old Springbuck ram. She took this 150 metre shot with a 30-06, and downed the animal with a single shot to the heart. Great shooting Sniper Sandra!!
Day Two:
Ashley went off early with Victor and Sandra to hunt blesbuck. Victor had never shot an antelope before. He spent some time on the bench checking his breathing and approach. They stalked several blesbuck before taking shot at this mature ram. Victor got off a great shot that took down this ram. Well done Victor!!
Dale on the other hand, left for the coast with Helge and Barbara to hunt the elusive blue duiker. Helge has hunted several species around the world including elephant, buffalo and lion, but had not been successful in hunting a blue duiker. Adrian with the help of Rudi the beagle managed to get onto the scent of a blue duiker. The duiker flashed passed us at such a speed that Helge never managed to get off a shot. Rudi persisted on the spoor and scent and the blue duiker back tracked and again flashed past. This time Helge managed to get off two shots with a shotgun. The second shot was an awesome shot that took down this blue duiker. It was an adrenalin packed hunt. Well done Helge on some great snap shooting!!
Ash, Victor and Sandra came down to the coast after there blesbuck hunt where they joined us for drinks following Helges successful blue duiker hunt. We were literally on top of the world!! An awesome sunset with the Indian ocean in the back ground. A postcard scenario. Pink bubbles and wine flowed to celebrate an awesome safari. Remember to keep this picture in your mind when next in a stress situation!!
Helge, thanks for taking the time to visit and hunt with ECKS. We look forward to having you hunt with us again, or maybe see you in Vienna!!
“It was our first trip to South Africa. We hunted for the first time and we did so with Ashley and Dale from Eastcape and Karoo Safaris. Hunting with EKS was a great experience. Ashley and Dale were the perfect hosts. We had wonderful moments in this very special holiday. It was a successful combination of hunting, beautiful scenery in the game parks and great service at the lodge. Heartfelt thanks to Ashley and Dale for the great new experiences. We hope to be back soon. With friendly greetings.”
