Hunters: Kevin & Madison Diehl
PH: Willem van Dyk
Area Hunted: Thabazimbi, Limpopo South-Africa
“We had a lot of expectations with this being our first trip to Africa. From start to finish, Dries Visser exceeded every one of them.
The lodge setting was picturesque, perfectly placed
along the river with stunning views each morning and evening. Everybody at the lodge was very friendly, helpful, and naturally welcoming to everyone in camp.
The hunting was just as we had hoped, hunting out of classic African pit blinds over a water hole. Each day was full of excitement not knowing what was going to walk out next.
Our PH Willem did a fantastic job. He was easy to get along with, had a great sense of humor, and was able to put us on harvesting all 9 of the animals on our list in just 7 days. Our excitement was also his excitement, which made every harvest that much more enjoyable. His tracker Bosani was helpful each day in tracking our animals, helping Willem set up the animals for breathtaking
pictures, and making sure our animals were promptly cleaned and placed in the salt. Both were instrumental in recovering my kudu which was my #1 target animal.
Without either of them, that would never have happened. At the end of each day, we looked forward to returning to camp and gather around the fire with the rest of the hunters while everyone shared stories of the hunts that day.
Each PH would take the time to ask the other hunters about their day as well, as you could tell they were genuinely interested in how their hunt went. Shortly after, we were served a delicious dinner which involved various animals harvested by one of the hunters in camp. Elana went above and beyond with the meals she would create for us.
Cobus and Elana are amazing people, and it was evident that their camp is built with an emphasis on communication, teamwork, dedication, and professionalism. We truly had the time of our lives and look forward to our next trip with them.”
