We now have a wheel chair friendly lodge which sleeps 4 disabled people. We have all the proper equipment, facilities and experienced guides to make sure your stay is comfortable and susessfull.  The Lodge consists of a lapa/kitchen and four fully furnished chalets, gently sloping entry ramp, convenient low-placed light switches and a large, specially adapted bathroom with all the necessary amenities. The rooms are all level with adapted door widths and bed hights.
We have over 30 000ha in which to hunt in this area. The veld is varied - rolling hills with deep kloofs, open acacia thornveld and dense bushveld and patches of open grassland. Gentle sloping ramps making the lodge totally accesable for wheel chairs.  The bathroom is adapted with rails and support bar, at all the right hight.
The hunters are loaded onto the back of the hunting vehicles with the aid of either a special lift or a ramp - depending on the chosen vehicle. Four helpers surround the lift platform at all times to stabilize the chair and assist in case something should go wrong. The lift is mostly used for people in heavy electrical wheelchairs or those who prefer not to use the ramp.  We use different hunting techniques, this is usually dictated by the level of disability as well as the hunters preference.

• Walk and stalk and ambush: The hunter is carried into an ambush position in the portable chair by the 4 carriers. Due to the nature of the terrain disabled hunters usually have to make use of the ambush method but, where possible, 'walk-and-stalk' hunts are also conducted. In the hunting areas, many ridges overlook kloofs, gulleys and terraces and when hunters go after kudu, impala, blue wildebeest, mountain reedbuck or even Warthog, they are carried in the chair along these ridges early in the morning and/or late in the afternoon. We stop frequently to glass for game. If the hunter cannot shoot from the spot, we work out an approach route and 'stalk' (carry him) closer to the animal.

• Quad Bike and Blind: We have ATV's which we drive around the bush, find a suitable site and sit out and wait for a shot. We also carry portable pop-up blinds that fit around the ATV.

Animals included in hunt: 1 kudu, 1 blesbuck, 1 common spring buck, 1 impala, 1 Warthog Additional animals can be taken at additional cost. Please see trophy list below.

Brian W reports:

Ed, the hunt was absolutely phenominal. I have been on numerous guided hunts in the states but this was by far the best. James has a great operation and great people. I will definitely be returning in a few years. I would be going back sooner, but I am going all out with my taxidermy and getting several full body mounts done, so I will obviously be spending a few extra bucks.

Believe it or not, with all of the animals I hunted, the springbuck was my favorite. There was something about this little guy that just intrigued me. When I return I will have to shoot the black, white and golden for a grand slam.

Ed, please feel free to use me as a reference for the Africa hunt. And just some info for you if you use me as a reference - I hunted kudu, impala, blesbuck, springbuck, bushbuck, blue wildebeest, zebra, warthog, bushpig and duiker, hunting on 9 different farms.

Thanks for a great hunt.

Brian

Ed,

We've been back since Tues, Aug 12. We had a fantastic trip; the hunt was great. I got gemsbok, impala, springbok, bushbuck, and blesbok. Brian shot kudu, wildebeest, impala, bushbuck, and blesbok. Brian is psyched and ready to go again. Our PH is a great hunting machine! The entire trip minus the flight over and back was A++++++. If you ever need references, have them contact me.

Thanks again for making all of this possible.

We have our own in-house taxidermy shop that you will be able to visit on your hunt. It is located at our Kudu Lodge. We only work on animals from our hunters and do not take in outside work. Your trophies never leave our possession so we are able to supervise them at every stage of the taxidermy process. There are two basic ways most animals are processed. First you can have the animals dipped, packed and shipped to your taxidermist back home. This process brings the completely dried hides and cleaned skulls to your facility were the maintaining process will begin. It takes around 3-4 months. The second option is to have the animals mounted by us and then shipped directly to you. This process takes between 9-12 months. Trophies are ready to go up on the wall when they arrive. Which ever option you choose we have a logistics firm that will handle all the shipping and paperwork for the process so you will not be bothered with all the details. Prices below are for the taxidermy services ONLY and do not include the crating, shipping, brokers, etc. You will get a final quote on these services once the animals are ready to ship. As hunters ourselves we realize how important the taxidermy process is to the overall experience of the hunt. Having our own facility to process your trophies allows us total control over the entire hunt so we can assure our clients nothing but the best in quality and service! Feel free to call us with any questions at any time as well as for updates on your mounts. Unlike many others where you would be dealing with a taxidermist who you never met and who can be difficult to get a hold of in a different country, you can call us on the toll free (888-710-9453) any time and we will answer questions and be able to get updates on your trophies as well as be at your side during the shipping process.
