A returning bushpig hunter.

Last week military man, Joe Rogoff, returned to Blaauwkrantz for the third time to 're' hunt the four animals that make Blaauwkrantz famous. The three spirals, kudu, bushbuck and nyala are always firm favourites, but the bushpig is right up there if not always in the beauty contest though.

Joe was successful with all four taking excellent trophies. His magnificent bushpig was taken in the moonlight over a bait relatively late at night.

We look forward to Joe's 're' turn.

Good hunting.

Blaauwkrantz Safaris doesn't only expand habitat, but infrastructure too.

We are proud to announce the addition of our Mountain Lodge to our outfit. The new facility is located on a newly bought property adjoining the existing ranch at the foothills of the rugged Cockscomb Mountain range.

Whilst the Mountain Lodge is logistically not as well placed as the central Main Lodge, it boasts a lovely wild ambience with a very appropriate dining lapa and rather romantic hut-chalets for accommodations.

We look forward to entertaining many happy hunters there once we complete some renovations.

Good hunting

Our hunters visited one of our local schools today

The learners at our Palmiet Skool were very excited today when our hunters from Utah paid them a visit and generously donated them some much needed supplies.

Hunters are probably the most generous people we encounter in the tourism industry. Thank you very much!!

Best wishes
Eardley. 

Safari Club International show in Las Vegas

We had a great show at the biggest hunting show in the world in Las Vegas, meeting new people and visiting with many old friends. The mood in general was very upbeat and the change in political administration has a lot to do with it.

There were no fewer than 92 South African outfitters exhibiting followed by Namibia with 24. This confirms South Africa as having the lion's share of US hunters in the African hunters market. Only one other country, the US, has more outfitters than South Africa with 101. 

Another interesting thing was the quality of taxidermy on display, truly remarkable.

We head for Salt Lake City, for the third leg of our 2017 marketing season.

Best regards and good hunting.

First Bushking for 2017 crowned.

Congratulations to Danish Hunter Martin Rosenberg who shot a fine bushpig boar last week making him the first Blaauwkrantz Bushking for 2017.

Two things made this hunt remarkable, the first being that the pigs came to the bait well before dark (being mid summer it stays light till late), and the second was while driving to the bait, we spotted another chance encounter bushpig and Martin had a long shot but unfortunately missed.

Martin shot a very nice bushpig in 2015 too and found the experience so thrilling that he wanted to try again. He had another memorable bushpig hunt last week.

Congratulations!

Happy New Year

We started 2017 in true fashion with our Danish customers take the morning off after some celebrations to usher in the New Year.

When the blistering New Year heat started fading we ventured out and managed to take this fantastic blue wildebeest.

Despite the drought this bull was in great condition thanks to our efforts to supplement the animals during this tough time where most grazers would otherwise succumb.

Best wishes for 2017!
