EAI Outdoors
Hunting Safaris for the Disabled
| Tour Code: EAI-OSA9
| Length: 7 days |
|
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 bushbuck, 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.

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.
My PH Hennie was the greatest. I also got to spend some time with the PH's that are brothers - Morris and Gerrie. They are also great guys.
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
Jan H reports:
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.
