mpumalanga Government Reserve Camp<br />
SoutH aFRiCa aCCommoDation<br />
thormählen & <strong>Cochran</strong>’s South african camps are unique. We hunt in big<br />
Government Game Reserves and we have distinct camps for every concession. Due to<br />
high demand, it is therefore essential to plan your safari well ahead and to forward<br />
a “wish list” or “priority list” of trophies wanted. Your trophy requirements will<br />
ultimately determine the concession to which you go to – hunting animals in the area<br />
of their origin ensure exceptional trophy quality. Every concession’s camp offers first<br />
class accommodation. our website, www.africatrophyhunting.com, will also guide you<br />
through the various concessions and camps.<br />
