<strong>Exciting</strong> <strong>Hunting</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Fishing</strong> <strong>Destinations</strong><br />
edition 2013
Foreword of the founder<br />
Hunters <strong>and</strong> anglers are conservationists…<br />
100.000<br />
shots guaranteed*<br />
You heard this statement before <strong>and</strong> some large hunting organizations even<br />
claim that hunters are the largest contributors to wildlife causes.<br />
It is true that catch <strong>and</strong> release has become the norm with the sporting<br />
fishermen over time. Last Christmas I experienced myself the positive impact<br />
of this philosophy, when I fished the world record bronze whaler shark from<br />
the beaches of Henties Baai (Namibia). A big crowd (see page xxx) witnessed<br />
my 3h45min fight <strong>and</strong> loudly voiced their approval when, after measuring <strong>and</strong><br />
photographs, I released the shark back into the sea. Next day the local press<br />
spend more words on the release than on the catch, but more importantly they<br />
were inciting the local sports fishermen to do likewise as the general public<br />
judges the gesture as a positive attitude towards conservation.<br />

Kinematic Drive System : simplicity of design for consistent,<br />
reliable function with any load <strong>and</strong> under the full extremes of<br />

A5 HUNTER<br />
Another event which also influenced my thinking on conservation seriously<br />
this year was a meeting with Mark Rose the CEO of Fauna & Flora International.<br />
This conservation organization is the oldest <strong>and</strong> one of the largest worldwide,<br />
operating on projects for wildlife protection in 140 different countries.<br />
Amongst others, their Nyassa National Park (Mozambique) is an example for<br />
everyone that conservation <strong>and</strong> hunting can indeed work h<strong>and</strong> in h<strong>and</strong>. FFI is<br />
managing the park in a difficult post-war environment <strong>and</strong> decided early on<br />
that organized culling <strong>and</strong> trophy shooting in collaboration with the hunter’s<br />
community in more than one third of the park made perfectly sense for a sound<br />
balance of the wildlife stock in the park. Later on it became also clear that<br />
through this collaboration a much better poaching control was in place than<br />
in any neighboring park. All pro’s <strong>and</strong> anti’s should study this situation as today<br />
their eternal fight only works well for the poachers <strong>and</strong> no one else.<br />
Both happenings bring me back to my favorite message to all hunting<br />
<strong>and</strong> fishing sportsmen…please invest time into teaching your children or<br />
gr<strong>and</strong>children to appreciate our great sport as they will need to stay in touch<br />
with nature to balance out the side-effects of the digital era.<br />

Dear Hunters, dear Friends,<br />
Foreword of the founder<br />
Nature is a master to us all <strong>and</strong> it gifts us with changing colors <strong>and</strong> smells that are<br />
fluid with the passing of the seasons. We learn through nature <strong>and</strong> share remarkable<br />
experiences with our friends <strong>and</strong> family, <strong>and</strong> it provokes emotions incomparable with<br />
anything else. At Holl<strong>and</strong> & Holl<strong>and</strong> we value the work of <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> <strong>Lodges</strong>, which<br />
reflects the true values of nature, <strong>and</strong> of our sport. My belief is that conservation <strong>and</strong><br />
ethical hunting codes are invaluable for our Animal Kingdom to continue to flourish<br />
<strong>and</strong> preserve this age old way of life. Through education we must strive to teach our<br />
younger generation the same respect that we had instilled upon ourselves.<br />
Niels van Rooyen<br />
Holl<strong>and</strong> & Holl<strong>and</strong><br />
I will always remember the first time I got in contact with the <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> <strong>Lodges</strong><br />
book. Starting going through the pages, the book transported me to destinations I<br />
was dreaming to discover. I had a feeling of quiteness <strong>and</strong> emotion.<br />
At Leica, we look at the <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> <strong>Lodges</strong> as the finest places where to go<br />
hunting <strong>and</strong> fishing around the world. The <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> <strong>Lodges</strong> are a universe<br />
of beauty, authenticity <strong>and</strong> passion. They represent a way of life for many hunters<br />
<strong>and</strong> fishermen. They engage you as you would dream to experience your hunting<br />
or fishing moments. They propose you the very unique experience you have always<br />
been looking for.<br />
A good partnership is always driven by common values. Meeting with Laurent<br />
Huwart, a owner of MSL, I quickly understood that our companies were on the<br />
same path. We are passionate about what we do. We believe in delivering the<br />
very best experiences <strong>and</strong> to achieve this purpose, we refuse compromise. We see<br />
hunting as a shared passion for nature <strong>and</strong> adventures.<br />
I wanted to thank <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> <strong>Lodges</strong> for their strong involvement in defending<br />
the values of hunting <strong>and</strong> fishing. I thank as well each lodge presented in the book<br />
for their commitment in proposing state of the art experiences. We, at Leica, are<br />
proud to be your partner <strong>and</strong> we hope it will last for many more years.<br />

“It has been almost 20 years that I hunt abroad; I decided 5 years<br />
ago to focus on mountain game, since then I have hunted different<br />
species from Asia to North America <strong>and</strong> in Europe.<br />
Thanks to the reliability in all circumstances of the Leica Magnus<br />
scope <strong>and</strong> Leica Geovid HD all these hunts were successful.<br />
That is why Leica is my choice when it comes to optics for hunting.”<br />

Wild<strong>Hunting</strong> in Turkey is owned <strong>and</strong> managed by the Ekenler Family <strong>and</strong><br />
currently run by two brothers, Kürsat <strong>and</strong> Temir. They are both extremely keen<br />
young hunters <strong>and</strong> have hunted extensively throughout Turkey <strong>and</strong> abroad.<br />
The Ekenler family has been l<strong>and</strong>owners in Tarsus, Cukurova area for more than<br />
300 years. <strong>Hunting</strong> is a family tradition, proudly passed from father to son <strong>and</strong><br />
finally to us. We have always had a passion for the wild; this has been supported<br />
by their father who took Temir <strong>and</strong> Kürsat with him to many hunts all over the<br />
world. With some of the world’s finest species on our doorstep, we have naturally<br />
concentrated on big game hunting.<br />
Wild<strong>Hunting</strong> offers a total of 6 species of big game, which are natively found<br />
only on Turkish hunting l<strong>and</strong>, this makes the hunting unique! Our family has<br />
controlled the shooting in large areas of the Taurus Mountains for generations.<br />
We therefore operate as a private family hunting estate, rather than an agent<br />
buying from different concessions all over the region. As a result, we have<br />
controlled, conserved <strong>and</strong> developed our areas in a manner that we believe to be<br />
unique in the whole country. This approach is key to our way of maintaining the<br />
highest st<strong>and</strong>ards in everything we do.<br />

Patagonia, it’s a country in itself...<br />
Algar <strong>Safari</strong>s owns two private hunting properties that cover 85,000 acres<br />
(35,000 hectares) of pristine Patagonian steppe country. The hilly terrain <strong>and</strong><br />
breathtaking views make Algar <strong>Safari</strong>s an excellent place to hunt for the various<br />
species we offer. The captivating surroundings <strong>and</strong> the wilderness of the country<br />
provide the most dem<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> experienced hunters with a once-in-a-lifetime<br />
hunting experience.<br />
We are located in the southern part of the Province of Neuquén, with paved road<br />
access from the airport in the beautiful city of San Carlos de Bariloche (two-hour<br />
drive). We recommend doing our hunts on horseback; however, for those who<br />
prefer or require it, hunting can also be done with 4WD vehicle.<br />
We encourage bow hunters to hunt with us; great trophies can also be taken with<br />
bow & arrow. We offer premium hunting, two new first-class lodges, gourmet<br />
cuisine, as well as the unforgettable experience of having a midday “asado”<br />
(barbecue) right in the middle of the hunting grounds.<br />
We are proud to own the world’s third largest Pere David’s population, being the<br />
only ones who can offer this exotic species in the wild.<br />

Cameroon<br />
African Trackers Cameroon<br />
Cameroon is at the heart of the Dark Continent. It offers all wildlife habitats known to Africa. For the hunter/<br />
collector it offers the ultimate challenge with the Lord Derby El<strong>and</strong> in the savannah <strong>and</strong> the Bongo in the<br />
rainforest. Cameroon offers four different spiral-horned antelopes: Lord Derby El<strong>and</strong>, Bongo, Harnessed<br />
Bushbuck <strong>and</strong> Forest Sitatunga. Besides these animals, there are two types of buffalo, savannah <strong>and</strong> dwarf,<br />
as well as savannah <strong>and</strong> forest elephants, <strong>and</strong> the largest number of duiker species in one country… Basically,<br />
Cameroon offers the largest antelope (Lord Derby) <strong>and</strong> the smallest (Bates pygmy antelope) <strong>and</strong> quite a few<br />
stunning species in between. All huntable species in Cameroon can be hunted with African tracks on our<br />
privately owned hunting blocks.<br />
Our safaris guarantee a 100% success rate on our flagship species. We organise the safari from the moment you<br />
book to the delivery of the trophies for your trophy room. We assist in all administrative matters (visa, import of<br />
rifles), meet <strong>and</strong> greet our guests at the airport, <strong>and</strong> h<strong>and</strong>le plane tickets, security <strong>and</strong> export of trophies. Our<br />
hunting areas are carefully monitored, have permanent anti-poaching programmes <strong>and</strong> continue to deliver<br />
recordable trophies <strong>and</strong> unique hunting experiences.<br />
Having conducted safaris all over the African continent, I returned to Cameroon because of the quality of the<br />
hunting. Basically, I wanted to share the ultimate hunting experience: “hunt on track”. This allows me to share<br />
with the hunter my knowledge of tracking, the intense contact with nature <strong>and</strong> the close contact with the<br />
game. A once-in-a-lifetime hunting experience !!<br />
The hunting season in the savannah is from late December to mid-May <strong>and</strong> in the rainforest from March to<br />
mid-July. Our stone-built camps are equipped to modern st<strong>and</strong>ards with air-conditioning. Our cars are tuned<br />
to provide the ultimate experience in suspension, comfort <strong>and</strong> safety. Our staff consist of carefully selected<br />
trackers <strong>and</strong> pygmies with whom we have developed a strong bond over years of hunting. Our skinners are<br />
trained by visiting taxidermists to ensure perfect in-field preparation of trophies, <strong>and</strong> we h<strong>and</strong>le the delivery<br />
of trophies to your destination. At the request of our hunters, we can contact the best taxidermists worldwide<br />
who can immortalise your trophies in unforgettable memories. We hunt with the quality of your trophy room<br />
as our objective!!<br />

Africa<br />
Tanzania<br />
AM <strong>Safari</strong>s Tanzania<br />
As a professional hunter for many years, my first hunting season was back in 1988. I have been working mostly in Tanzania.<br />
I also travelled through many other African countries, such as Senegal, Cameroun (both bush <strong>and</strong> forest), Centrafrican<br />
Republic, Benin <strong>and</strong> Tanzania (both Selous <strong>and</strong> Massai country). All these experiences I have lived through the years led<br />
me to guide other hunters in western, eastern, central <strong>and</strong> austral countries of Africa. I offer to my hunters to be guided<br />
in Tanzania through the hunting reserves of Selous, Masai country. In Tanzania, hunting mostly concerns big cats, such as<br />
lion, leopards, elephant <strong>and</strong> Caffer buffalo or hippoptamus. There is also a great number of antelopes in the Masai country<br />
<strong>and</strong> in the south of Tanzania. Territories on which I guide my hunters have no secrets for us. This leads us to the best results<br />
possible in matter of hunting, <strong>and</strong> therefore we suggest the best dates <strong>and</strong> the best camps for our hunters, according to<br />
their needs <strong>and</strong> to the particular animals they are looking for.<br />
Masai L<strong>and</strong><br />
Located in the heart of the Rift, the Masai country is delimited by large <strong>and</strong> semi-arid up north, by the wet yet refreshing<br />
Lake Victoria at west, dry steppes of Tsavo in the east <strong>and</strong> by the low tropical l<strong>and</strong>s of Dodoma, the “geological shield” of<br />
Tanzania. L<strong>and</strong>scapes in our two different areas of hunting are numerous <strong>and</strong> offer either mountains, great plains, shrubby<br />
bush <strong>and</strong> a very dense savannah where thorny trees make the heaven for the little koudou.<br />
It’s on our territories that the “Great Cats” of Africa have decided to settle, fact that will definitely enjoy our hunters: slender<br />
leopards <strong>and</strong> majestic lions are numerous <strong>and</strong> live together on this great l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
You won’t find a happier man <strong>and</strong> tracker than a Dorobo (the Massai tracker) when you tell him that you have come to his<br />
l<strong>and</strong> to hunt a lion or a leopard, for as the two predators are the number one enemies of the Massai people. And once, they<br />
used to hunt lions with lances in order to prove to the group their leadership. Cosy yet luxurious, our camps are designed<br />
to offer our clients the best confort that they may look for after their long hunts in the bush. The safaris I organise in the<br />
Masai country last 21 days, <strong>and</strong> the hunting seasons go from July to the end of December. The 15 days safaris are organised<br />
between January <strong>and</strong> March. I also offer to the hunters who want to spend their 21 days safari on different areas, the<br />
possibility to hunt on both territories of the Masai country <strong>and</strong> the reserve of Selous.<br />
Selous game reserve<br />
With the beautiful Rufiji River <strong>and</strong> its two affluent, the Kilombero river <strong>and</strong> the Luwengu river, the reserve Selous is the most<br />
water supplied region in East Africa, besides from being the biggest reserve in Africa, <strong>and</strong> probably the most beautiful one.<br />
The concentration <strong>and</strong> the variety of animals makes it the second most rich animal life of all Africa’s reserves, just after the<br />
Serengeti. The 55 000 km2 of territory are part of the total of 75 000 km2 of the Selous ecosystem <strong>and</strong> include the National<br />
park of Mikumi <strong>and</strong> other uninhabited areas in the North, such as the Kilombero. Tanzania houses more elephants than any<br />
other country in Africa. The territory in Selous on which we hunt is located in the south of the reserve <strong>and</strong> is large 25 000<br />
acres, which represents approximately one half of this immense reserve. The south blocks on which we hunt are considered<br />
as the most prestigious ones in all Africa for hunting “Big Cats”.<br />
During a 21-days safari, it’s often possible to get an elephant, leopard, buffalo’s <strong>and</strong> also a lion all at once.<br />
These 39 years of our presence on the same territory led us to elaborate a very strict <strong>and</strong> confident management plan with<br />
the Game Department of Tanzania, which includes both regional development of various reserves within our territory <strong>and</strong><br />
the qualitative searching of animals. Our techniques of hunting include the meeting, the tracking, <strong>and</strong> the calling as far as<br />
the lion is concerned. All our trackers are Dorobos, from the Masai country (see the page “Masai country”)<br />
I also offer to my hunters according to their desires <strong>and</strong> needs, to guide them in other countries of Africa, as Mozambique,<br />
Cameroon or C.A.R..<br />
I am member of four different associations of professional hunters: ACP senior member, AGCG, TPHA, T.<br />
Also I am member of the CIC, SCI <strong>and</strong> official measurer <strong>and</strong> the Club of the <strong>Hunting</strong> House (French association).<br />

Motlala, nestled in the savannah bush of the Limpopo province, lies in an area of resounding natural beauty. This<br />
unique property can produce extraordinary hunting of game large <strong>and</strong> small. There is also a whole spectrum<br />
of accommodation available, from luxury 4 star chalets with all the whistles <strong>and</strong> bells, to the comfortable <strong>and</strong><br />
charming tented camp at Nyati Pools, in the heart of the bush.<br />
There is also “Giraffe camp”, situated on the Eastern border of the Buffalol<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> Ranch where, as the name<br />
suggests, giraffe are in abundance <strong>and</strong> can be viewed from just a few metres. Of course, we shouldn’t forget<br />
the tiny prints left by the hundreds of species of birds when not in flight – <strong>and</strong> the prints of many happy guests<br />
leaving sweet memories in the soft African soil.<br />
Before <strong>and</strong> after hunting hours, ladies <strong>and</strong> children will also appreciate the swimming pool as well as several<br />
famous attractions situated in the vicinity of Buffalol<strong>and</strong> such as Kruger Park, Blyde river canyon – 2nd largest<br />
in the world, Cheetah Park, Silk Farm, rehabilitation centre for animals, to name but a few. And for the wild<br />

Daggaboy <strong>Hunting</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s Namibia<br />
Although based in Namibia, Daggaboy <strong>Hunting</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s offers hunts in the rest of Africa as well, particularly for<br />
returning clients who are looking for those special trophies that do not occur in Namibia.<br />
Owned <strong>and</strong> operated by Dawid Muller, a well-known Namibian professional hunter who has been active in the<br />
hunting industry for more than 30 years, Daggaboy <strong>Hunting</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s offers dangerous as well as plains game<br />
hunting opportunities on their exclusively owned hunting areas in Namibia.<br />
Hunts for dangerous game are conducted on their exclusively operated conservancy in the Caprivi region,<br />
bordering the Mamili National Park in the south <strong>and</strong> the Mdumu National Park on the northern side. Hunts<br />
for plains game take place in an open (no high fences) area of over 40 000ha in the Khomas Hochl<strong>and</strong> area<br />
in central Namibia. The plains game hunting area being only 60km south-west of Windhoek, the capital of<br />
Namibia, means that you will arrive at your hunting destination within an hour’s drive from the Hosea Kutako<br />
International Airport.<br />
Accommodation is offered in five luxurious double rooms in the hunter’s wing next to the colonial-style farmhouse<br />
on Dawid’s ranch, with en suite bathrooms <strong>and</strong> wireless access to Internet. Up in the Caprivi the accommodation<br />
is in en suite bungalows or tents (client’s choice) with running hot <strong>and</strong> cold water.<br />
Excellent food, complimentary beverages, alcoholic drinks as well as a daily laundry service is included in both<br />
areas.<br />
Daggaboy <strong>Hunting</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s endorses the practice of ‘fair chase’ in hunting, so although 4x4 vehicles are used in<br />
the initial process of locating the game in both areas, all hunts <strong>and</strong> possible follow-ups are thereafter done on<br />
foot.<br />
Passion for what he does, <strong>and</strong> personal attention to every detail of your hunt <strong>and</strong> stay is what Dawid is known<br />
for to which the very high percentage of return hunters to Daggaboy <strong>Hunting</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s is a testimony.<br />
So, you might arrive as a client, but you will definitely leave as a friend.<br />

Ekl<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s South Africa<br />
Ekl<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s is an exclusive property in the heart of South Africa’s Northern Province. Its location alone is<br />
enough to bring the dream of hunting alive, housing within its boundaries at least 20 species of mammal -<br />
including white rhino, cape buffalo, elephant, lion <strong>and</strong> giraffe, as well as a wide array of antelopes indigenous<br />
to the area.<br />
However, Ekl<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s is not simply a hunting delight. Rather, it’s a whole world of sensations spread out<br />
across its 35,000 acres: a place that stimulates the senses <strong>and</strong> proclaims the beauty of the African l<strong>and</strong>scape<br />
through its own awakening.<br />
The development of a dreamlike camp was inspired not only by the natural beauty that embraces this concept,<br />
but also by a clear underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the symbiosis between an adventurous spirit <strong>and</strong> the inclination for<br />
comfort <strong>and</strong> luxury of a group of selected individuals that look for a personal reward in each experience.<br />
The estate offers many forms of enjoyment, <strong>and</strong> can accommodate every individual, hunters <strong>and</strong> non-hunters<br />
alike. It’s a unique experience for the whole family.<br />
The lodges that discreetly integrate themselves in the environment are proof of our special keenness for detail.<br />
The architectural style embracing the concept of these lodges comes impregnated in the African spirit <strong>and</strong><br />
reflects, in a gr<strong>and</strong>iose way, the architectural beauty of the area.<br />
Above all, we put at the guest’s disposal a group of highly qualified staff - providing an unsurpassed service<br />
that’s guaranteed to delight every visitor we have, including a gourmet chef who’ll please anyone with a<br />
discerning palate through his varied <strong>and</strong> exquisite cuisine.<br />

Hunt & Fish Namibia Namibia<br />
Namibia has the largest diversity of biotopes in all of Africa, ranging from deserts such as the Kalahari <strong>and</strong> the<br />
world’s oldest, the Namib Desert, to red-coloured dunes (Sossusvlei) <strong>and</strong> s<strong>and</strong>y beaches along the Skeleton<br />
Coast or then again the subtropical marshes between the Okavango <strong>and</strong> the Zambezi.<br />
Twenty years of experience have taught us that all our guests like to discover all the different parts of this<br />
magical country, either by hunting or fishing in the different places. Therefore we offer you two hunting <strong>and</strong><br />
two fishing destinations which we own or operate. Several combinations are possible, depending on the<br />
season, your availability <strong>and</strong> your mode of transport, all of which we would be more than happy to study<br />
together with you.<br />
<strong>Hunting</strong> the gr<strong>and</strong>iose Etosha area <strong>and</strong> the massive Damaral<strong>and</strong><br />
The southern border of Etosha National Park is well-known to hunters for its great variety of plains game. Our<br />
privately owned l<strong>and</strong> covers a diverse l<strong>and</strong>scape consisting of Mopani forests, dry river beds, acacia woodl<strong>and</strong>s,<br />
plains, mountains, valleys <strong>and</strong> pans.<br />
You can hunt exceptional trophies <strong>and</strong> experience the magic of real hunting. Gold medals can be obtained for<br />
gemsbok, kudu <strong>and</strong> mountain zebra. The Damara dik-dik <strong>and</strong> the black-faced impala are even exclusive to this<br />
area. Leopards <strong>and</strong> cheetahs are considered the jewels of Etosha.<br />
We have three types of accommodations, each giving you different experiences on your safari. One way is<br />
using our African safari lodge with all the five-star amenities typical to the Southern African triangle <strong>and</strong> with<br />
an uninterrupted view of the surrounding valleys <strong>and</strong> plains. For a more typical hunting atmosphere, we use<br />
a camp with several thatched rondawels, decorated with local artwork <strong>and</strong> en suite bathrooms. For those<br />
nostalgic for an ‘Out of Africa’ atmosphere, we offer a live version in the tented camp where as the night falls<br />
the bush comes alive.<br />
More to the west lies the Damaral<strong>and</strong> concession. As no fixed settlements are allowed, we use our 4x4 <strong>and</strong><br />
tents to set up fly-camps in a moonlike environment.<br />
All meals are served around a crackling fire under the clear African sky or under thatch in the central lapa, with<br />
unique game dishes. On the day you wish to take a rest from hunting, it is possible to go for a game drive in<br />
Etosha National Park or simply relax around the swimming pool <strong>and</strong> the spa of the main lodge.<br />

<strong>Hunting</strong> the Kalahari dunes <strong>and</strong> Namib Desert<br />
South of Windhoek we own two hunting territories, each very representative of their specific biotopes. The<br />
Kalahari property features a combination of 74 sequential red s<strong>and</strong> dunes with the equivalent number of<br />
valleys stretching each over a kilometre wide. It is an amazing sensation to hunt in such countryside, as each<br />
dune hides a new spectacle of animals grazing in the next valleys.<br />
Here you can hunt mostly grazers such as springbok, gemsbok <strong>and</strong> wildebeest, all medal quality.<br />
Again accommodation can be provided in three different types of camps: the luxurious safari lodge with fivestar<br />
facilities such as pool, spa <strong>and</strong> restaurant; the comfortable bungalow of the hunting camp with its magic<br />
lapa <strong>and</strong> boma; or finally, real bush life in a tented camp.<br />
A few hours westward, we have our Namib desert property, which again is a totally different view from the<br />
Kalahari. Montana-like grass plains contrast with the red hills, which seem imported from Arizona. <strong>Hunting</strong><br />
tactics change 100%, since here the hunter <strong>and</strong> the animals have little space to hide. So far our accommodation<br />
is in our dune hotel near Sossusvlei, 40 minutes away, from which we organise fly-camps on the property.<br />
All game here is natural resident game.<br />
What’s the best season for hunting?<br />
There is no good, better or best time. There is only a period that is less comfortable because of high temperatures<br />
<strong>and</strong> a period less favourable to hunting.<br />
Therefore, we suggest:<br />

<strong>Fishing</strong> the legendary Skeleton Coast<br />
Set in the magical town of Henties Baai, on the edge of the Namib Desert, Fisherman’s Guesthouse welcomes<br />
fishermen <strong>and</strong> tourists alike. The lodge is the ultimate destination from which to experience the shore angling<br />
adventure of a lifetime. This beautiful lodge offers unforgettable accommodation a mere 200 metres from the<br />
beach. Listen to the sea, enjoy fresh air <strong>and</strong> cool evenings. Experience the different recipes for the catch of the<br />
day, accompanied by a glass of local wine.<br />
The nine comfortable rooms promise a good night’s sleep before the big fishing day.<br />
Renier De Villiers, our professional fisherman, will take you out on an unforgettable angling adventure. The<br />
once-in-a-lifetime experience is to catch a bronze copper shark (all the way up to 189 kg) from the s<strong>and</strong>y beach.<br />
You do not need to be an expert though, but let’s just say that the size of your shark will be determined by your<br />
patience <strong>and</strong> wisdom during this fight <strong>and</strong> not by strength or technique. Once the shark has been hooked, the<br />
pro will guide you on how to haul the catch in.<br />
If you want to change to edible fish for a day, you can catch big cobs as well as some locals, such as steenbras,<br />
galjoen or snoek. For the youngsters, the smaller sharks such as spotted gully shark are a good initiation before<br />
tackling the real stuff.<br />
Other activities our team performs are desert tours in 4x4, dune races on quads or shopping in Swakopmund<br />
<strong>and</strong> its harbour Walvis Baai.<br />
<strong>Fishing</strong> the mighty Zambezi <strong>and</strong> the mysterious Okavango<br />
There are different ways to discover the unspoiled beauty of the Caprivi strip, locked-in between the Okavango<br />
<strong>and</strong> Zambezi rivers. They provide the perfect backdrop for some of the most unforgettable fishing experiences<br />
imaginable. We elected to build a lodge along the Okavango near Popa Falls. The fishing takes place up- or<br />
downstream from the lodge, guided by an experienced fisherman in a small but safe outboard boat.<br />
The main attraction is obviously the tigerfish; people travel the world just to fight this prehistoric-looking fish.<br />
Other species are different sorts of bream or buddle fish, <strong>and</strong> the area is also home to two rare fish species: the<br />
broadhead catfish <strong>and</strong> occelated spinyeel.<br />
Non-fishing activities include game drives into the Mgango game reserve or Caprivi National Park <strong>and</strong> boat<br />
trips on the river to view hippos <strong>and</strong> crocodiles.<br />
In contrast, the Zambezi has a lot more people living along its shores. A few years ago, we started to charter<br />
a houseboat in order to organise our fishing trips onto the river from this base. Experience taught us that the<br />
houseboat provided flexibility to move up <strong>and</strong> downstream, depending on fish density. Our success rate also<br />
went up tremendously. Although houseboat life is quite a different experience, all our guests just love it.<br />

Zimbabwe<br />
Pro <strong>Safari</strong>s Africa Bulawayo, Zimbabwe<br />
The Zambezi Valley is the best big game hunting area in Zimbabwe, if not Africa. Rifa <strong>Safari</strong> Area is arguably<br />
the best area in the Zambezi Valley. Pro <strong>Safari</strong>s Africa has the exclusive rights to for this magnificent area. With<br />
45 km of Zambezi frontage on the west <strong>and</strong> north, <strong>and</strong> safari areas bordering on the east <strong>and</strong> south, Rifa <strong>Safari</strong><br />
Area is surrounded by wilderness areas, <strong>and</strong> is secluded from any human encroachment.<br />
Everyone dreams of hunting Africa’s Big Five. Of these, the Cape Buffalo must be the most sought-after<br />
trophy of them all. <strong>Hunting</strong> them by tracking is the only true way to hunt. <strong>Hunting</strong> Cape Buffalo needs to be<br />
incorporated in a true African <strong>Safari</strong> with its vast areas <strong>and</strong> wide variety of dangerous game.<br />
The area is perhaps best known for its cats. Leopard are abundant <strong>and</strong> can only be hunted during daylight<br />
hours, making this more interesting <strong>and</strong> giving it the work that it deserves. Two of the top 10 lion ever taken in<br />
Africa have been taken in this area, making this the number 1 area for lion in Zimbabwe.<br />
Elephant hunting is perhaps the most physical hunt that one can ask for. Elephant is hunted on foot. Whether<br />
it’s trophy bulls, which can be anywhere between 40 lbs <strong>and</strong> 70 lbs per side, or the notorious tuskless elephant<br />
that you’re after, Rifa is the safari area that truly has it all!<br />
Hippo are abundant in the Zambezi River <strong>and</strong> is a unique hunt that takes you away from the everyday tracking<br />
of the Cape Buffalo. Keeping in mind that they kill more people in Africa than any other animal, one has to<br />
show them the respect they deserve. A hippo hunt should not be done without including its amphibious<br />
friend, the Nile Crocodile. This prehistoric creature has to be baited for the best results.<br />
Our 6 Professional Hunters are all Zimbabwean with over 95 years of experience between them, thus ensuring<br />
your safety, <strong>and</strong> making sure that all hunts are not only conducted within the law, but within our own strict<br />
code of ethics.<br />
The area has two luxurious tented camps on the banks of the Zambezi River, with all the luxuries of home. Each<br />
room has an en-suite bathroom <strong>and</strong> a sweeping view of the river with a cool breeze coming off the water. All<br />
rooms have invertors to ensure that the fans keep the rooms cool at night. A splash pool at the main camp is<br />
convenient for those boiling hot days. Both camps are run on generators, <strong>and</strong> all vehicles are equipped with<br />
freezers, ensuring that cold refreshments are always on h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Pro <strong>Safari</strong>s Africa has several other areas in Zimbabwe, so we can tailor a safari to suit your needs. Access to all<br />
areas is by private air charter from Harare.<br />

Rhinol<strong>and</strong> South Africa<br />
Rhinol<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> is a hunter’s paradise where the luxury of the lodges, the crystal clear skies <strong>and</strong> the peaceful<br />
silence utterly relaxes you. Vast plains, teeming with the most superb African game, will thrill you. From the<br />
massive bulk of the white rhinoceros to the delicate little duiker, the choice of trophy will be all yours.<br />
Rhinol<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safari</strong>s are based in the Limpopo Province of South Africa on two pristine <strong>and</strong> privately owned<br />
nature reserves representing a plot surface of 9090 ha, which are located 200 miles northwest <strong>and</strong> 290 miles<br />
northeast of Johannesburg, <strong>and</strong> 40 km of the town of Ellisras, that has its own airport for private planes.<br />
Rhinol<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> Lodge is located on our privately owned nature reserve in the typical African bushveld in the<br />
Limpopo province. It varies from flat open country to very dense bush. Creeks <strong>and</strong> gullies open onto marsh<br />
areas. The diversity of the terrain supports a large variety of birds <strong>and</strong> mammals. Animals like elephant, White<br />
Rhino, Nyala, Mountain zebra, hippo <strong>and</strong> the rare Black Rhino are just some of the wildlife you can experience.<br />
You will be accommodated in a luxurious game lodge with comfortable air-conditioned chalets with en-suite<br />
bathroom surrounding the pool area. There is an open-air bar, lounge <strong>and</strong> dining area under thatch for your<br />
leisure. Excellent cuisine, with personal supervision by a qualified chef <strong>and</strong> friendly African staff, awaits you.<br />
<strong>Hunting</strong> begins either on foot or by jeep. However, when fresh tracks or animals are spotted, stalking on<br />
foot presents an exciting challenge. Riffle, shotgun, pistol or bow may be used. When an animal is shot it is<br />
immediately transported to the camp to be skinned <strong>and</strong> treated in preparation for the trophy. For avid trophy<br />
hunters there is a void in certain African Animal species. Rhinol<strong>and</strong> has filled that gap my making available the<br />
much sought after trophies of White Rhino, Blesbok, Waterbuck, Zebra, Nyala, Kudu, Gemsbok, Warthog, Sable<br />
Antelope, Impala, l<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> many others.<br />
The farm is not only known for its picture or hunter safaris, but also for its fishing opportunities.<br />
Rhinol<strong>and</strong> conducts safaris throughout the year depending on your particular requirements. Over 30 species<br />
of game are available including those that are only obtainable in South Africa.<br />
Professionalism <strong>and</strong> strict maintenance of accommodation, equipment <strong>and</strong> vehicles are of paramount<br />
importance to us.<br />
The complete success of your safari is our prime concern <strong>and</strong> our booking agent <strong>and</strong> dedicated personnel will<br />
organize your safari to meet your specific requirements.<br />

Located in the heart of the Central African Republic, the different areas of the territory offer visitors a great<br />

This very specific, very special location enables visitors to hunt species typically found in the savannah as well<br />
as those that inhabit forests, all from the same camp.<br />
Species available:<br />
Widely known <strong>and</strong> recognized as one of the most beautiful <strong>and</strong> most difficult hunts in the world, the pursuit<br />
of a GIANT ELAND is always a great adventure. With <strong>Safari</strong>a’s dense population of wildlife, visitors encounter<br />
these animals regularly <strong>and</strong> can bring home high quality trophies.<br />
The very timid ROAN ANTELOPE, although less numerous than the el<strong>and</strong>, can be seen throughout the territory.<br />
Found throughout most of Africa, the LEOPARD is not a rare animal. However, there are not many hunting areas<br />
that offer the opportunity to shoot a very big leopard…<br />
Our l<strong>and</strong> is one of these rare places.<br />
One of the highpoints of these unique, magnificent expeditions, the LION is hunted primarily by tracking <strong>and</strong><br />
call hunting. The many BUFFALO living here are one of <strong>Safari</strong>a’s greatest assets.<br />
We also offer special outings that give visitors the opportunity to sample the BONGO, GIANT FOREST HOG <strong>and</strong><br />
YELLOW BACK DUIKER.<br />
<strong>Safari</strong>a offers a great variety <strong>and</strong> high density of plains game, as well.<br />
At each of our camps, visitors are accommodated in bungalows (bedroom, living room, washroom),<br />

<strong>Safari</strong>a République Centrafricaine<br />
La <strong>Safari</strong>a est la société de safari phare en Afrique Centrale et de l’Ouest.<br />
Avec ses 5 concessions de chasse adjacentes, La <strong>Safari</strong>a est fière d’offrir une des plus gr<strong>and</strong>es zones de chasse<br />
(1 500 000 ha ), gérée par une seule entité. Le propriétaire s’est rapproché des meilleurs professionnels afin de<br />
proposer le meilleur service et continuer ainsi à maintenir la réputation et le sérieux de la <strong>Safari</strong>a.<br />
Située au cœur de la République Centrafricaine, la zone de chasse de la <strong>Safari</strong>a offre des biotopes allant de la<br />
savane arbustive aux galeries forestières. Cette variété unique permet de chasser, depuis le même camp, à la<br />
fois les espèces traditionnelles de savane et les espèces spécifiques de forêt équatoriale.<br />
Chasses proposées :<br />
La quête au pistage d’un El<strong>and</strong> de Derby, reconnue par tous comme une des plus belles et des plus difficiles<br />
chasses au monde, est toujours une très belle aventure. La densité importante d’El<strong>and</strong>s à la <strong>Safari</strong>a permet au<br />
chasseur des rencontres régulières et la récolte de trophées de très bonne qualité.<br />
Les plus gr<strong>and</strong>es Antilopes Roannes se trouvent en RCA et, bien que moins nombreuses que les El<strong>and</strong>s de<br />
Derby, ces antilopes discrètes sont bien présentes.<br />
On rencontre le Léopard dans beaucoup de pays africains, mais les endroits qui offrent de réelles chances de<br />
prélever un gros spécimen sont rares. Les zones de la <strong>Safari</strong>a font partie de ces quelques rares endroits. Un des<br />
moments forts de ces chasses uniques et exceptionnelles est la chasse à l’appel du Lion ou encore son pistage.<br />
Le nombre important de Buffles rencontrés en brousse est aussi une des qualité de la <strong>Safari</strong>a, qui propose<br />
également des chasses spécifiques pour les espèces de forêt, comme le Bongo, l’Hylochère ou encore le<br />
Céphalophe à dos jaune. Enfin, les densités importantes d’antilopes et leur variété complètent efficacement le<br />
panel des espèces à collecter.<br />
Sur chaque camp de la <strong>Safari</strong>a, les chasseurs sont hébergés dans des bungalows en pierres locales, composés<br />
d’une gr<strong>and</strong>e chambre et d’une salle de bain (douche et toilettes) attenante. Ces constructions offrent à la fois<br />
un vrai dépaysement et un confort appréciable après une journée passée en brousse. Les chefs cuisiniers de<br />
la <strong>Safari</strong>a honorent la réputation de la cuisine française : les mets sont préparés avec les vi<strong>and</strong>es issues de la<br />
chasse et avec les légumes du potager.<br />
Dans le berceau de la vraie chasse traditionnelle au pistage, la <strong>Safari</strong>a offre à ses clients la possibilité de traquer<br />
des espèces prestigieuses, de la manière la plus noble possible, en s’appuyant sur la gr<strong>and</strong>e compétence de<br />
guides motivés et sur l’extraordinaire habilité des meilleurs pisteurs africains.<br />

Abaco Lodge Abaco Isl<strong>and</strong>, Bahamas<br />
The “Marls of Abaco” are a vast expanse of prime, wilderness bonefish habitat, situated along the western shore<br />
of Great Abaco Isl<strong>and</strong> in the Bahamas. The Marls have long been known by well traveled bone fishermen as one of<br />
the most unique <strong>and</strong> productive fisheries in the Bahamas.<br />
Abaco has more than 400 square miles of flats, none better known than the Marls on the western side of the<br />
isl<strong>and</strong>. Abaco lodge is centrally located directly on the Marl side of the isl<strong>and</strong> with access to them all. For twenty<br />
miles the average depth is four feet, a bone fisherman couldn’t ask for a better backyard. It would take a lifetime<br />
to fish the entire Marls alone but Abaco also offers some incredible fishing on the eastern ocean side of the<br />
isl<strong>and</strong> as well. “Abaco Lodge” has now been added to Nervous Waters portfolio of the finest properties to host<br />
our first guests, April 20th, 2009. As with all Nervous Waters properties, you can expect comfortable <strong>and</strong> well<br />
appointed accommodations, world class cuisine, top of the line boats operated by seasoned, expert guides, <strong>and</strong> a<br />
management & staff committed to providing the utmost in service <strong>and</strong> attention to detail.<br />
The fishing<br />
The Marls encompass more than 400 square miles of flats on the west side of Abaco. For twenty miles the average<br />
depth is four feet. The lodge is centrally located directly on the Marl side of the isl<strong>and</strong> with access to them all. It<br />
would take a lifetime to fish the entire Marls alone but Abaco also offers some incredible fishing on the eastern<br />
ocean side of the isl<strong>and</strong> as well. Cherokee Sound, the Bight of Robinson <strong>and</strong> Snake Cay are minutes from the<br />
lodge <strong>and</strong> offer opportunities at some of the largest bonefish. This location gives our guests easy access to the<br />
flats, whilst providing many sheltered locations irrespective of wind direction, within the interior of the Marls. In<br />
addition, from Abaco Lodge, guests have the opportunity to try for occasional Permit, Tarpon <strong>and</strong> Snook, as well<br />
as offshore <strong>and</strong> reef species such as Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado, (Seasonal Billfish), Snapper, Barracuda <strong>and</strong> Grouper.<br />
<strong>Fishing</strong> areas<br />
The typical trip does not fish on arrival or departure but we can arrange for a half day fishing if your flights allow.<br />
Breakfast is severed at 7; we leave the dock at 8 <strong>and</strong> return between 4 <strong>and</strong> 5. This schedule can be tailored to your<br />
needs with advance notice. Picnic lunches <strong>and</strong> cold drinks are taken to the flats in a cooler by your guide.<br />
We access the Marls directly from the lodge dock; the flats on the ocean side require a short drive. All of the skiffs<br />
are equipped with padded seats with a backrest <strong>and</strong> a lean bar in the front. The majority of the fishing is done from<br />
the boat but wading opportunities exist if you prefer. Runs to the flats vary from 10 to 45 minutes. The bonefish<br />
on the Marls average 2-4 pounds with the occasional shot at bigger fish. The ocean side flats offer opportunities<br />
as some of the largest bonefish in the Bahamas but they are incredibly wary creatures. The Bahamas are primarily<br />
a bonefishery <strong>and</strong> Abaco is no different. There are the occasional shots at permit, tarpon, ‘cudas, jacks, <strong>and</strong> sharks<br />
<strong>and</strong> we recommend you bring the appropriate tackle just in case. There is nothing like seeing a 20 lb permit tailing<br />
or the juvenile tarpon cruising the flat <strong>and</strong> not having the right gear set up.<br />
In addition to the wonderful flats fishing Abaco has incredible blue water fishing. We are happy to coordinate a<br />
day or two with the best captains available in search of marlin, sailfish, dorado, wahoo, or tuna depending on the<br />
season. Arrangements can be made at the lodge but the best captains book early <strong>and</strong> we recommend you do as<br />
well. There will be an additional charge for this fishing.<br />

Dove shooting lodge<br />
Algar <strong>Safari</strong>s is proud to introduce this world class dove shooting in Cordoba province, Argentina. Cordoba is<br />
the best destination in the world to shoot doves. Millions <strong>and</strong> millions of doves everywhere, a delightful climate<br />
all year around <strong>and</strong> top level service make this place a paradise for every wingshooter. Doves in Cordoba do<br />
not migrate, due to immense crop fields settled in the area, which provide them food supply anytime. It’s the<br />
perfect place for a high volume shooting experience. Hunters may expect to shoot up to 3,000 rounds a day…<br />
or even more… that’s up to you!<br />
The “estancia” is strategically located in a great prominent area where has been developed enormous dove<br />
roost everywhere <strong>and</strong> makes this region just incredible with the highest volume of doves in earth. Actually, the<br />
property is surrounded by huge dove roosts in the west side, just in the hills. In addition, hunts take place in a<br />
7.000 acres private lodge, which means that the hunting fields are exactly inside the property. We are located<br />
just in the middle of the flyways!<br />
The lodge is located in Cordoba province, Argentina, 80 miles (140 km) north from Cordoba International<br />
airport. Driving time is around 1.40hs. It has six double rooms, with private bathrooms <strong>and</strong> there is a cozy<br />
area with open bar available, TV, <strong>and</strong> playroom. It also has a fine living room <strong>and</strong> incredible dining room with<br />

Algar <strong>Safari</strong>s is also proud to introduce the amazing mixed bag shooting (Dove, perdiz & duck hunting) in Entre<br />
Ríos province. Hunters will experience great duck hunting early in the morning, followed by a fantastic perdiz<br />
hunt with dogs <strong>and</strong> the possibility to shoot as many doves as they want in the afternoon. Hunt all 3 species in<br />
the same day, every day !<br />
It is strategically located, due to the fact that the area is surrounded by thous<strong>and</strong>s of square kilometers of<br />
marshes, which form the great Paraná River (one of the largest ones in South America). The typical features<br />
of this region provide the perfect environment for large quantities of ducks <strong>and</strong> perdiz. In addition, the lodge<br />
is situated on the coast of Gualeguay river, between the marshes <strong>and</strong> the high fields that are mostly used for<br />
crops, therefore hunters will certainly find millions of doves.<br />
The lodge is located near Gualeguay, in Entre Ríos province, Argentina, just 240 km. north east from Ezeiza<br />
International Airport in Buenos Aires. Driving time is around 2.30 hs. by highway. There is a local airport 10<br />
minutes away from the lodge, for small airplanes <strong>and</strong> helicopters to l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
The Spanish colonial lodge was built in 1920 <strong>and</strong> the mansion features 8 bedrooms. It also has a fine living room,<br />
a large dining room, an excellent tennis court <strong>and</strong> several kilometers of coast bordering the Gualeguay river.<br />

Bahamas<br />
Bair’s Lodge South Andros, Bahamas<br />
Since men have fished for bonefish, Andros has been a name synonymous with the biggest fish, <strong>and</strong> South<br />
Andros has built a reputation over the years as being the location to try for a ‘giant’.<br />
Names like Grassy Creek, Deep Creek, Little Creek, the Water Cays <strong>and</strong> Curley Cut Cays are intrinsically linked<br />
to sight fishing for some of the world’s largest bonefish. Ideally situated midway between the South Bite <strong>and</strong><br />
Curly Cut Cays, Bair’s Lodge accesses some of the most remote flats, whilst also providing many sheltered<br />
locations irrespective of wind direction. Since the early 90’s Bair’s has become highly regarded as providing the<br />
best fishing South Andros has to offer.<br />
The lodge has also come to represent the bench mark in terms of quality guiding, delicious food, comfortable<br />
accommodations <strong>and</strong> courteous hospitality.<br />
The fishing<br />
Andros has long been synonymous with the biggest bonefish in the Caribbean. The South <strong>and</strong> more particularly,<br />
West of the Isl<strong>and</strong> have built the reputation as the place to try for a ‘Giant’. The flats in Andros are some of the<br />
largest <strong>and</strong> most varied in the world, offering both opportunities to wade or fish from the boat, in the ocean<br />
flats or creeks <strong>and</strong> bights. This incredible choice of classic bone-fishing environments, as well as the numbers<br />
<strong>and</strong> size of the bonefish is what makes South Andros the bone-fishing capital of the world. Bair’s Lodge, famed<br />
for its access to the vast <strong>and</strong> largely under-fished flats of the South <strong>and</strong> West, is strategically situated between<br />
the South Bight <strong>and</strong> Water Cays, near Little Creek. This location gives our guests easy access to the flats of<br />
the South, whilst providing many sheltered locations irrespective of wind direction, within the interior of the<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>. In addition, from Bair’s Lodge, guests have the opportunity to try for occasional Permit, Tarpon <strong>and</strong><br />
Snook, as well as offshore <strong>and</strong> reef species such as Wahoo, Tuna, Dorado,(Seasonal Billfish), Snapper, Barracuda<br />
<strong>and</strong> Grouper.<br />
<strong>Fishing</strong> areas<br />
Every morning, you step out of the lodge into a boat, <strong>and</strong> can be fishing within a few minutes, or you can<br />
choose to ride further a-field to explore the more remote, pristine white s<strong>and</strong> flats Andros is famous for. Deep<br />
Creek <strong>and</strong> Little Creek a few minutes run from the lodge, open into large bay areas dotted with many small cays,<br />
where there are always flats that offer protection from the wind. Both creeks allow access to the fabled West<br />
Side <strong>and</strong> other remote Cays to the South <strong>and</strong> South-West that may provide lucky anglers with the possibility<br />
of trying for Permit <strong>and</strong> Tarpon to complete the famous “Gr<strong>and</strong> Slam”. The Southern flats are home to some of<br />
the largest schools of bonefish. Grassy Creek is a 40 min boat ride from the lodge. Weather permitting you can<br />
ride to Hawksbill Point <strong>and</strong> onto Cistern Point. This area sees little fishing pressure <strong>and</strong> is regarded as the place<br />
to come for numbers of fish. The flats stretch as far as the eye can see <strong>and</strong> wading next to these huge schools<br />
is the experience of a lifetime.<br />

Futa Lodge Tenth Region, Futaleufú, Chile<br />
Across the border from Esquel in Argentina, <strong>and</strong> deep into the coyhue forests of the tenth region of Chile<br />
flow the azure depths of the Futaleufu river. A world away from the hustle <strong>and</strong> bustle that even sleepy Esquel<br />
represents, the “Big River” (for this is how Futaleufu translates from the tehuelche tongue) rolls along, amid<br />
some of the most unspoilt mountain scenery on the planet. South of the Chilean lake district, Futaleufu is<br />
a st<strong>and</strong>-alone fishery. The freestone giant grows healthy stocks of rainbow <strong>and</strong> brown trout that are fed by<br />
abundant hatches of mayfly, caddis <strong>and</strong> stoneflies. A heavy resident stock of fish <strong>and</strong> great hatches, combined<br />
with classic fly water, make the Futaleufu a trout fisherman’s paradise.<br />
The Fish<br />
The fishing at Futa lodge is largely based on the Futaleufu River, which flows right by the lodge’s front door.<br />
In addition there are some smaller rivers close by that are fished <strong>and</strong> some local lakes. For those wishing to<br />
diversify further we work closely with an outfit on the Argentine side of the border who can arrange excellent<br />
dry-fly <strong>and</strong> nymph fishing on a host of rivers near to Esquel. The Browns <strong>and</strong> Rainbows of the Futaleufu River<br />
<strong>and</strong> the catchment area as a whole were stocked from European <strong>and</strong> American stock in the early 19th Century.<br />
The fish on the Futaleufu River in particular have gone on to establish an extremely healthy population that is<br />
the envy of wild trout fisheries the world over.<br />
Seasonal expeditions from Futaleufu will also encompass some of the further flung lakes <strong>and</strong> coastal fishing<br />
areas. A large number of Chilean rivers play host to anadromous fish as well which every year grow in numbers<br />
as the fish themselves develop wild strains from the original escapee stock that first ran these rivers. Principal<br />
species encountered are Chinook <strong>and</strong> Silver Salmon with a few sea-run browns <strong>and</strong> rainbows.<br />
<strong>Fishing</strong> Methods<br />
A lot of the fishing at Futa Lodge is taken on float trips from the lodge <strong>and</strong> your guide will position you in<br />
productive areas of the drift or alternatively stop you on the shore so you can get out <strong>and</strong> wade. All methods<br />
will have their moment <strong>and</strong> you may find yourself searching the shoreline for browns with a big streamer one<br />
minute only to be fishing for selective rainbows on the surface the next. Water levels can change from week to<br />
week <strong>and</strong> the water generally drops as the season progresses.<br />
Vary your presentation markedly in each area fished until you <strong>and</strong> your guide find the formula that works best<br />
there. Pay close attention to the advice of your guide, whose primary aim is to recommend the methods that<br />
will help you hook <strong>and</strong> bring your fish to the net.<br />

Jacana Lodge Lincoln, Buenos Aires, Argentina<br />
Jacana Lodge follows in the footsteps of other David Denies properties in offering discerning guests some of<br />
the best sport available combined with the highest levels of service, both at the lodge <strong>and</strong> in the field. We are<br />
confident that we have created a truly unique duck shooting experience.<br />
The David Denies Duck Program draws on the hundreds of years of combined experience our team brings to<br />
the table in guiding, outfitting, <strong>and</strong> preparing wing shooting programs for discriminating shooting guests.<br />
Duck shooting here features comfortable, well-camouflaged dry blinds, quality species-specific decoys, <strong>and</strong> all<br />
the boats, vehicles <strong>and</strong> trucks to get you to the ducks each day. Guides position you where you need to be to<br />
get the kind of duck hunting you’ve only dreamed of until now.<br />
We shoot twice a day, morning <strong>and</strong> evening, <strong>and</strong> there is plenty of time to unwind <strong>and</strong> relax at midday. Roads<br />
are good, <strong>and</strong> journeys are short <strong>and</strong> - better yet - you can reach our duck hunting program by road from<br />
Buenos Aires. Arrive on a morning flight from the U.S. or Europe, <strong>and</strong> you’ll be hunting ducks after lunch.<br />
Shotguns/Chokes<br />
Selecting which gun to take all comes down to personal preference. Autoloaders are popular, as are over/under<br />
or side-by-side guns. With Rosy-Billed Pochards, Pintails, <strong>and</strong> other “big” ducks being the prevalent species in<br />
Argentina, 12 gauge is the gun of choice. Chokes are probably more open than you’d imagine - decoy ducks are<br />
generally at close range, <strong>and</strong> improved cylinder is about right. If you prefer not to bring a gun, we have Benelli<br />
autoloaders that you are welcome to use during your stay.<br />
Ducks<br />
There are 12 common species in this area of Argentina, which is an area called the central lowl<strong>and</strong>s, or wet<br />
pampas. A fine book on all of the bird species, including the waterfowl, is Tito Narosky’s Birds of Argentina <strong>and</strong><br />
Uruguay, which is available in many bookstores <strong>and</strong> online retailers. In order of abundance you should see<br />
these ducks as they are listed below. Almost all whistle, except for the Pochard which purrs, or burrs, like the<br />
Canvasback.<br />
Yellow Billed Pintail/Rosey-Billed Pochard/White-Faced Whistling Duck/Fulvous Whistling/ Duck Speckled Teal/<br />

Kau Tapen Lodge Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina<br />
Kau-Tapen (“house of fishing” in the Ona language) is the original fishing lodge in Tierra del Fuego <strong>and</strong> the<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard of elegance by which other lodges are measured.<br />
What started as the brainchild of Jorge Donovan <strong>and</strong> Jacqueline De Las Carreras over twenty years ago has<br />
revolutionized the way the fishing world views big trout.<br />
And, while the name Kau-Tapen might be cumbersome to newcomers, this lodge has made the Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e a<br />
household name for fly anglers the world over. Impeccable accommodation, plenty of elbow room on the Río<br />
Gr<strong>and</strong>e, caring guides, select vehicles <strong>and</strong> equipment, Argentina’s best wines <strong>and</strong> menus, <strong>and</strong> enviable fishing<br />
records since 1984. All great reasons to come <strong>and</strong> be a part of Kau-Tapen’s history yourself.<br />
The Fish<br />
The first brown trout were stocked in Tierra del Fuego by John Goodall in 1935. Shipped from Puerto Montt in<br />
Chile, 60,000 ‘salmo trutta’ eggs survived the arduous journey to be planted on the C<strong>and</strong>elaria <strong>and</strong> McLennan<br />
rivers, both tributaries of the Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e. These fish eventually found their way to the sea, possibly attracted by<br />
the rich nourishment of the estuary.<br />
These sea-run brown trout now complete the yearly migratory cycle of salmonids, spawning during the<br />
summer months in freshwater. Salmo trutta trutta remain in the river for a period of time (ranging between<br />
1 <strong>and</strong> 4 years) until their first migration to the sea, where they will feed <strong>and</strong> grow for about 6 months before<br />
their first return to freshwater, weighing approximately 6lbs. Researchers have found trout that had spawned<br />
more than 6 times. A trout that has completed four cycles of returning to freshwater can weigh over 20lbs. The<br />
frequency with which they return to freshwater is also an indicator that the fish face very few threats - whilst<br />
also providing a very real example of the benefits of Catch <strong>and</strong> Release.<br />
Guides<br />
Kau Tapen has a team of experienced, professional international guides. They are all English speakers, <strong>and</strong> will<br />
be able to offer tips on how to best fish each pool, fly choice <strong>and</strong> presentation. They are there to make your<br />
fishing more productive <strong>and</strong> enjoyable.<br />

La Dormida Córdoba, Argentina<br />
Built on the tradition of over 20 years of pigeon shooting experience from David Denies, the new lodge at La<br />
Dormida offers the most exclusive pigeon-shooting accommodation ever offered in Cordoba.<br />
Even before the acclaim from Argentina’s journals of design <strong>and</strong> decoration, David Denies was famous for its<br />
unparalleled service. And true to form, our staff at La Dormida have been specially trained in the fine art of<br />
caring for private parties. Meals at La Dormida feature the very best Argentine beef <strong>and</strong> other meats, <strong>and</strong> our<br />
menus are prepared by one of Argentina’s best chefs. Carefully selected Argentine vintages complement field<br />
lunches <strong>and</strong> dinner in the lodge <strong>and</strong> indeed, the wines alone make La Dormida worthy of a visit!<br />
From the moment you arrive in Argentina, our service is personalized <strong>and</strong> attention is paid to every imaginable<br />
detail - from airport reception to uniformed bird boys in the field. The David Denies’ st<strong>and</strong>ard has no equal, <strong>and</strong><br />
makes a visit to Cordoba a shooting holiday without peer.<br />
The Shooting<br />
• Cordoba is considered the dove shooting capital of the world. The 100 square mile radius (160 km) around<br />
the lodge is annually inhabited by over 40.000.000 million dove. The lodge enjoys 55 shooting fields all<br />
within a scenic drive through the region’s rich farml<strong>and</strong>.<br />
• Each day the lodge donates hundreds of doves to local public dining rooms in the area.<br />
• The program generally starts at 8:00 AM with a hearty breakfast <strong>and</strong> short drive to the shoot.<br />

Los Crestones Lodge Buenos Aires, Argentina<br />
Building on our tradition of excellence, the David Denies Wingshooting family is proud to announce the<br />
addition of an exciting new hunting property for the 2011 hunting season.<br />
Located in the Province of Buenos Aires, just 85 minutes from the Ezeiza International airport, Los Crestones<br />
Lodge, was named for the Rosy Billed Pochard-Argentina’s most distinctive <strong>and</strong> sought-after duck. Set in a<br />
mature parkl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> surrounded by fertile countryside, Los Crestones will offer discerning guests a combination<br />
of decoyed ducks followed by perdiz over dogs.<br />
For those who appreciate shooting behind a well trained dog, Los Crestones is special. Your host, Claudio<br />
Villalba, has been breeding <strong>and</strong> training pedigree sporting dogs for 25 years, <strong>and</strong> they are a joy to see in the<br />
fields <strong>and</strong> in the marshes.<br />
On duck hunts, you will be accompanied by a team of well trained Retrievers, making sure that lightly hit birds<br />
are recovered. The perdiz (a prized Argentine game bird) will be shot over German Short-Hairs <strong>and</strong> English<br />
Pointers. Watching them work is a joy in itself.<br />
The lodge is a classic Argentinean estancia, which has been recently refurbished <strong>and</strong> possesses all the comfort<br />
<strong>and</strong> style you would expect of a David Denies property. Guests will sleep in one of 6 single bedrooms, each<br />
with a private bathroom. In the evening, exquisite meals <strong>and</strong> fine Argentine wines will be enjoyed in the dining<br />
room.<br />
At Los Crestones we believe we have created a unique opportunity– a wild mixed bag hunt, supported by a<br />
great staff <strong>and</strong> great working dogs, all within a short drive of the international airport. Add a couple days to<br />
your next shooting holiday, business trip or family visit to Argentina-you won’t be disappointed.<br />
Wild BlackBuck Antelope <strong>and</strong> Wild Axis Deer<br />
Only 30 min from the lodge is an area that holds the biggest herds of wild Blackbuck Antelope in the world, a<br />
bit farther away from the lodge you’ll find some of the best wild Axis deer hunting in the country. Full day or<br />
half day hunts for these animals are an easy extension to your wingshooting adventure.<br />
Several of our guides at Los Crestones are experienced big game hunting guides, <strong>and</strong> know these private l<strong>and</strong><br />
areas well. They can organize a hunt <strong>and</strong> provide an accurate loaner rifle. They will also guide bowhunters,<br />
but we suggest you allow more time if you’d like to pursue either specie with the bow.<br />

Pira Lodge Esteros del Iberra, Corrientes, Argentina<br />
For many years one of Latin America’s most exciting game fish was kept a secret in its heartl<strong>and</strong>. In the last few<br />
years the golden dorado, or ‘river tiger’ as it is affectionately known has rocketed to the top of the hot fish list.<br />
Throughout much of its range, the dorado is caught in coloured or murky waters <strong>and</strong> generally with heavy<br />
spinning tackle. But since the discovery of the Iberia marshl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> the establishment of Pira Lodge, clear<br />
water fishing on light spinning tackle <strong>and</strong> on fly rods has become one of the worlds most sought after angling<br />
adventures.<br />
Opened in March 2000, Pira lodge is the world’s first deluxe lodge to target the freshwater dorado. The<br />
lodge is located in the Iberia marshl<strong>and</strong>, one of the most unique <strong>and</strong> fascinating wetl<strong>and</strong>s in the world. The<br />
incomparable variety of wildlife found in the 3,000,000 acre marshl<strong>and</strong> allows anglers to combine fishing<br />
with a number of other activities. However, it is the electric take <strong>and</strong> dazzling fight of the dorado that brings<br />
fishermen back year after year.<br />
Climate<br />
The dorado season runs from November to May. The Ibera area is subtropical, similar to northern Florida in<br />
the U.S. December <strong>and</strong> January are the hottest months, with temperatures up to 95 degrees. Towards the end<br />
of March the temperature cools down, ranging from 55 to 85 degrees, with mornings <strong>and</strong> evenings cool <strong>and</strong><br />
comfortable.<br />
The <strong>Fishing</strong><br />
There is little written on Dorado fishing on the fly. This is an exciting fishing frontier.<br />
Our guides have been exploring the area <strong>and</strong> Dorado fishing itself for more years than most. Their advice will<br />
help you maximize your enjoyment of this incredible fighting fish.<br />
The Dorado, (salminus maxillosus), is an aggressive fish, <strong>and</strong> once hooked makes impressive <strong>and</strong> acrobatic<br />
multiple jumps. This complex fish can be found near confluences, on edges of eddies, riffles, sharp bends in the<br />
current, <strong>and</strong> close to overhanging carpets of water hyacinth. It can be fished in narrow runs, on skinny water,<br />
large fish have been hooked in the deep runs, so let your guide show you the multitude of ever-changing<br />
locations where you can make contact with these fish.<br />
The Lodge<br />
Pira has 5 spacious twin bedrooms with large double beds, air conditioning <strong>and</strong> ensuite bathrooms. Large<br />
french windows open out on to a shady ver<strong>and</strong>a from where to enjoy the sounds <strong>and</strong> sights of the surrounding<br />
marshes. Evenings are spent in the large living room <strong>and</strong> adjoining bar before moving on to the dining room to<br />
enjoy delicious meals cooked by your chef, which include Argentina´s famed beef <strong>and</strong> the best wines.<br />
The lodge also has a 25m pool for a welcome cooling swim after your fishing session.´<br />

San Juan Lodge Pays<strong>and</strong>ú, Uruguay<br />
Perched majestically atop a knoll with a striking 360 degree view of the fertile Uruguayan countryside teaming<br />
with ducks, doves, pigeons <strong>and</strong> perdiz is Estancia San Juan. Managed by David Denies partners, <strong>and</strong> long time<br />
shooting hosts Bernardo <strong>and</strong> Mercedes Barrán, San Juan offer the convenience of shooting all game birds in<br />
Uruguay from just one destination <strong>and</strong> the assurance of a world class outfitter known for attention to detail<br />
<strong>and</strong> quality.<br />
Accommodations<br />
Estancia San Juan offers 5 bedrooms each with bath & fireplace, <strong>and</strong> will accommodate up to eight guests.<br />
With plenty of space to spread out, this estancia offers a comfortable living room with its inviting fireplace<br />
centrepiece, a dinning room boasting exquisite meals, fine wines <strong>and</strong> a majestic view. On pleasant evenings<br />
or before the next hunt the Estancia offers an open air galleria so guests may enjoy the fresh air <strong>and</strong> Uruguayan<br />
countryside at any time.<br />
Estancia San Juan Location<br />
Estancia San Juan is located in the Northwest region of Uruguay near the river town of Pays<strong>and</strong>u. The lodge<br />
is located approximately 336 kilometers or 208 miles away from Montevideo, the capital <strong>and</strong> the major<br />
metropolitan center of this small country.<br />
The Shooting<br />
Shooting at San Juan offers a variety of game that makes Uruguay a very unique destination, where hunters<br />
can enjoy the pursuit of an upl<strong>and</strong> mixed bag in the same day, each <strong>and</strong> every day. Each morning you will hunt<br />
wild partridge or perdiz in short grass pastures, <strong>and</strong> over pointers <strong>and</strong> English Setters, or ducks <strong>and</strong> big wild<br />
pigeons by decoying in lagoons <strong>and</strong> ponds nearby. In the afternoons, volume dove shooting is on the shooting<br />
schedule, <strong>and</strong> normally doves are encountered, in large numbers, on a flyway enroute to a large roost that is<br />
very close to estancia San Juan Estancia (just a few minutes).<br />
Everyday you will drive to the perdiz fields or to the lagoons for duck <strong>and</strong> pigeon hunting <strong>and</strong> return for lunch<br />
at the lodge, or stay for a BBQ, the “asado”, done in the field by the staff.<br />
The afternoon shoot (normally high volume dove shooting, sometimes ducks <strong>and</strong> pigeon) will start after lunch,<br />
<strong>and</strong> will end at dusk. Each evening you will return to the lodge for cocktails <strong>and</strong> dinner. Your host <strong>and</strong> guide,<br />
as well as bird boys, will be with you to provide you with challenging shooting, <strong>and</strong> other necessities such as<br />
shotgun shells, refreshments <strong>and</strong> anything else you may need. Drive time to hunt locations is usually between<br />
10 <strong>and</strong> 35 minutes for the perdiz, ducks or pigeon fields, <strong>and</strong> from 5 up to 35 minutes for the dove shooting.<br />

San Pedro Lodge Pays<strong>and</strong>ú, Uruguay<br />
Located in the province of Pays<strong>and</strong>u, San Pedro Lodge is a living example of the elegance of a bygone era.<br />
It is a sprawling estate home that dates back almost two hundred years, to a time when fine ranch homes were<br />
centers of rural family life. They were also centers of agriculture, they proved family <strong>and</strong> workers with homes,<br />
stores, <strong>and</strong> a place to worship. In addition to ample living areas, San Pedro also has a chapel on the ground<br />
that dates to the 19th century. The chapel’s architecture dates from Victorian Engl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> was designed to<br />
resemble the Liverpool Chapels. Inside, it holds a magnificent vitraux named for “Capilla del Buen Pastor”.<br />
In these modern times, shooting guests will also appreciate that San Pedro lodge has quick <strong>and</strong> excellent<br />
access to both sides of the biggest dove roosts in Uruguay. The ranch is also located near a vast network of<br />
lagoons <strong>and</strong> rivers in the most important agricultural area of Uruguay. This creates the best possible conditions<br />
for resident <strong>and</strong> migrating ducks, while acre upon acre of short pasture fields offers perfect habitat for the<br />
perdiz.<br />
San Pedro Lodge offers the convenience of shooting all these game birds in Uruguay from just one destination,<br />
with the assurance of a world class outfitter known for attention to detail, quality, <strong>and</strong> reliability.<br />
The <strong>Hunting</strong><br />
<strong>Hunting</strong> <strong>and</strong> shooting at San Pedro offers a variety of game that makes Uruguay a very unique destination not<br />
only in South America, but anywhere in the world. It is a rare treat for the wingshooter that hunters can enjoy<br />
the pursuit of an upl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> marsh mixed bag in the same day, each <strong>and</strong> every day.<br />
Each morning you will hunt wild partridge or perdiz in short grass pastures, <strong>and</strong> over English setters, or<br />
depending on wind <strong>and</strong> weather, the morning hunt could include ducks <strong>and</strong> big wild pigeons; both are hunted<br />
by decoys on ponds or in fields nearby. In the afternoons, volume dove shooting is on the shooting schedule,<br />
<strong>and</strong> normally doves are encountered-- in large numbers-- on a flyway enroute to a roost or very near a big roost<br />
that is just minutes from the San Pedro Estancia.<br />
Your host <strong>and</strong> guide will be with you to provide you with challenging shooting, <strong>and</strong> bird boys will also be there<br />
to provide other necessities such as shotgun shells, refreshments, <strong>and</strong> anything else you may need. Shooting<br />

Villa Maria Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina<br />
The second of the de las Carreras family lodges to open on Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e after Kau Tapen, Villa Maria has offered<br />
small private groups exciting fishing on some of the most productive pools in the lower river since 1994.<br />
A very different fishery to Kau Tapen or Toon Ken on the upper river, Villa Maria is a double h<strong>and</strong>ed fishermen’s<br />
dream, enjoying the first crack of the whip at newly arrived sea trout. With friendly <strong>and</strong> dedicated house staff <strong>and</strong><br />
guides, Villa Maria is very well suited to caring for small groups of friends or family groups.<br />
Climate<br />
The Sea trout season runs from November to mid April.<br />
December <strong>and</strong> January are the warmest months, <strong>and</strong> traditionally the windiest. The sun can be strong during the<br />
day, but the wind chill factor makes the use of protective gear necessary all season long.<br />
The <strong>Fishing</strong><br />
The sea run brown trout<br />
The first brown trout were stocked in Tierra del Fuego by John Goodall in 1935. Shipped from Puerto Montt in<br />
Chile, 60,000 ‘salmo trutta’ eggs survived the ardous journey, to be planted on the C<strong>and</strong>elaria <strong>and</strong> McLennan<br />
rivers, both tributaries of the Rio Gr<strong>and</strong>e. These fish eventually found their way to the sea, possibly attracted by<br />
the rich nourishment of the estuary.<br />
These sea-run brown trout now complete the yearly migratory cycle of salmonids, spawning during the summer<br />
months in freshwater. Salmo trutta trutta remain in the river for a period of time which ranges between 1 <strong>and</strong><br />
4 years until their first migration to the sea, where they will feed <strong>and</strong> grow for about 6 months before their first<br />
return to freshwater, weighing approximately 6lbs. Researchers have found trout which had spawned more than<br />
6 times. A trout which has completed 4 cycles of returning to freshwater can weigh over 20 lbs. The frequency<br />
with which they return to freshwater is also an indicator that the fish face very few threats, whilst also providing a<br />
very real example of the benefits of Catch <strong>and</strong> Release.<br />
Guides<br />
Villa Maria has a team of experienced, professional international guides. They are all English speakers, <strong>and</strong> will be<br />
able to offer tips on how to best fish each pool, fly choice <strong>and</strong> presentation. They are there to make your fishing<br />
more productive <strong>and</strong> enjoyable.<br />

Château Saint Michel France<br />
Experienced hunters usually need to go far to hunt big deer. This is often a long <strong>and</strong> troublesome trip, <strong>and</strong><br />
sometimes accommodations are rough. As of this year, a new destination in France has opened, offering some<br />
of the biggest <strong>and</strong> most beautiful deer.<br />
The Saint Michel property, in the Nièvre department, located between Beaune <strong>and</strong> Saint-Honoré-les-Bains, will<br />
welcome you to its magnificent park. You will stay in a fully renovated castle with all the comfort of a five-star<br />
hotel. Everything is done to perfection, be it the rooms or the meals.<br />
The owner Antoine Feidt, himself a very experienced hunter who has travelled the world, will personally<br />
welcome you <strong>and</strong> make it possible for you to shoot one of his exceptional deer.<br />
The deer are originally from Germany, <strong>and</strong> they were imported to France 10 years ago. They have been<br />
pampered <strong>and</strong> well taken care of in order to make this livestock so amazing today. They have been treated<br />
naturally <strong>and</strong> kept in the wild. Many stags have 30 points or more <strong>and</strong> go up to gold medals.<br />
For the first time, Antoine Feidt is opening this exceptional domain where he will, I am sure, prove the beauty<br />
<strong>and</strong> the quality of his deer. You will either hunt game from a hide on watchtowers or by stalking. The best<br />
calibres for hunting here are .300 Winchester, 9.3 x 62, etc.....<br />
A French hunting permit or license is m<strong>and</strong>atory. You will be hunting with the owner, who will gladly explain<br />
the evolution of his livestock <strong>and</strong> his theories on genetics.<br />
So take advantage of this unique opportunity to discover these unique deer, <strong>and</strong> should you shoot one of<br />
them, it will most certainly become one of the most admired pieces in your trophy room.<br />
Château Saint Michel France<br />
Certains chasseurs expérimentés vont au bout du monde pour chasser de gr<strong>and</strong>s cerfs. L’avion et les transfers<br />
sont souvent très longs et éprouvants. Or, depuis cette année, une destination en France permet aux amateurs<br />
de trouver de très gr<strong>and</strong>s cerfs, le domaine Saint Michel. Situé dans la Nièvre entre Beaune et Saint-Honoréles-Bains,<br />
un château complètement rénové vous accueille sur un territoire magnifique, offrant un confort<br />
digne de 5 étoiles: chambres, suites, repas, tout est merveille et délices.<br />
Antoine Feidt, le maître des lieux, lui-même chasseur hors pair, mettra tout en œuvre pour vous faire tirer un<br />
de ses plus beaux cerfs. La souche, venue d’Allemagne il y a plus de 10 ans, a porté ses fruits et la qualité et la<br />
beauté des cerfs est remarquable. Nourris tout à fait naturellement, ils valent le coup d’œil, plusieurs faisant<br />
plus de 30 cors, certains allants jusqu’à la médaille d’or.<br />
Cette année, Antoine Feidt ouvre pour la première fois son domaine. La chasse se déroule uniquement à l’affût,<br />
sur de gr<strong>and</strong>s miradors ou au pirch. Les calibres recomm<strong>and</strong>és sont: 300 Win - 9,3 x 62 - etc. Un permis français ou<br />
une licence est obligatoire. Vous chasserez avec Antoine Feidt, il se fera un plaisir de vous expliquer l’évolution<br />
de ses cervidés et sa théorie génétique en rapport avec son cheptel.<br />
Profitez de cette occasion unique pour découvrir enfin de magnifiques cerfs...Nul doute que si vous venez en<br />
chasser un, il sera une des pièces maîtresses de votre trophy room.<br />

France <strong>Safari</strong>s France<br />
“Magnificent hunting estate”, “exceptional trophies”, “remarkable, friendly welcome”, “Anne’s cooking is<br />
amazing”, “beautiful family château” … These are extracts from the Laplanque hunting estate’s visitors’ book,<br />
written by hunters who have stayed with us <strong>and</strong> left entirely satisfied. We are very touched <strong>and</strong>, at the same<br />
time, very proud of these congratulatory remarks.<br />
Located in the south of France (one <strong>and</strong> a half hours from Toulouse Blagnac airport <strong>and</strong> two hours away from<br />
the Mediterranean) at an altitude of 600 meters (1,950 feet), the Laplanque hunting estate is in a magnificent,<br />
unspoiled rural region, rich in traditions, gastronomy <strong>and</strong> charming villages that we are delighted to help our<br />
guests discover.<br />
Château de Laplanque has been in the same family since the 13th century. It has been lovingly maintained ever<br />
since <strong>and</strong> proposes comfortable reception rooms <strong>and</strong> bedrooms.<br />
The fully fenced 350-hectare (860-acre) estate has always been dedicated to hunting. The terrain is rough, the<br />
environment wild <strong>and</strong> the biotope highly varied. The grassl<strong>and</strong> areas alternate with pine, chestnut, holly <strong>and</strong><br />
beech forests <strong>and</strong> with heather-covered cliffs. <strong>Hunting</strong> is therefore difficult <strong>and</strong> exciting.<br />
Didier Roques Rogery <strong>and</strong> his son, Guillaume, founded the company France <strong>Safari</strong>s. Both are big-game<br />
enthusiasts <strong>and</strong> have put an enormous amount of time <strong>and</strong> effort into selecting the species they propose: red<br />
deer stag, fallow deer, mouflon sheep, sika deer <strong>and</strong> wild boar. Trophies obtained at the Laplanque hunting<br />
estate are classified amongst the biggest in Europe. Our red deer stags have antlers that may exceed 16 kg in<br />
weight <strong>and</strong> 36 points, <strong>and</strong> our fallow deer bucks have heavy, long <strong>and</strong> very wide palmate antlers. The most<br />
impressive mouflon sheep have thick horns, often exceeding 90 cm in length. Certain wild boar are particularly<br />
well tusked.<br />
The hunting season starts at the beginning of September <strong>and</strong> ends at the end of February. The estate is<br />
exclusively reserved for one hunter, alone or accompanied. <strong>Hunting</strong> is by stalking or from hides only.<br />
Didier’s wife Anne regales her guests with her culinary talents. Her meticulously concocted dishes, inspired by<br />
the culinary traditions of the Mediterranean in particular <strong>and</strong> the south of France in general, are accompanied<br />
by a delicious selection of French wines. Champagne is served to celebrate trophies brought back by hunters.<br />
Château de Laplanque is well known for its relaxed, family atmosphere.<br />
Hunters from abroad know very little about hunting in France. France <strong>Safari</strong>s is therefore delighted to welcome<br />
hunters from all over the world to hunt exceptional trophies in a magnificent setting <strong>and</strong> show them all the<br />
riches of a region overflowing with charm.<br />
The Pyrenees <strong>and</strong> Spain are not far away. It is therefore possible to organize both a stay at the Laplanque<br />
estate <strong>and</strong> an expedition to hunt Pyrenean chamois or Spanish ibex.<br />

Great Spanish Hunts Spain<br />
The red-legged partridge (Alectoris Rufa) is a Gallinaceous fowl endemic to Spain considered the most sporting<br />
<strong>and</strong> challenging bird in the world<br />
by hunters due to its beauty, audacity <strong>and</strong> fast <strong>and</strong> erratic flight. The driven partridge shoot is a shooting style<br />
with a long <strong>and</strong> deeply rooted tradition in Spain, which allows the hunter to enjoy the red-legged partridge in<br />
a far more challenging way, since the speed <strong>and</strong> height reached are unbeatable, putting more than one expert<br />
wing shooter to the test.<br />
Our shoots are some of the best <strong>and</strong> most famous in the country. Groups of 3 to 10 guns usually bag around<br />
1,000 birds per day or even double that amount depending on their shooting skills. Thanks to the wide range<br />
of estates we manage <strong>and</strong> their diverse <strong>and</strong> beautiful l<strong>and</strong>scapes we are able to offer some of the most<br />
spectacular <strong>and</strong> challenging drives to be found in Spain. Featuring birds with fast <strong>and</strong> erratic flight, both<br />
low <strong>and</strong> high flying, we can offer drives that allow hunters to enjoy very varied <strong>and</strong> challenging shoots. A pair<br />
of 12 <strong>and</strong> 20 bore double-barrel matched shot guns is ideal for this type of shoot. We work closely with top gun<br />
manufacturers to offer you the best quality guns on-site, therefore avoiding the inconvenience of travelling<br />
with them.<br />
Two of our locations, La Flamenca <strong>and</strong> Fuensauco, are just 35 minutes by car from Madrid international <strong>and</strong><br />
private airports, making them very accessible from the world’s capital cities. Tacones, another of our prime<br />
locations, is in Toledo province in the heart of La Mancha, l<strong>and</strong> of Don Quixote, famous for its wild partridges,<br />
just 1 hour 15 minutes from Madrid.<br />
In southern Spain, the province of Cádiz, <strong>and</strong> thanks to hard work <strong>and</strong> sacrifice over the past 35 years, we<br />
manage over 90% of Spain’s wild red-legged partridge, a true treasure trove in this day <strong>and</strong> age.<br />
Our partridge shooting season runs from 15 September to 15 March.<br />
At GSH we believe in offering the highest level accommodation featuring quality service <strong>and</strong> the most select<br />

Le Domaine de l’Ortolo Corsica, France<br />
At the southern tip of Corsica, between the sea <strong>and</strong> the mountains, lies an immense estate in the heart of a<br />
valley carved by the Ortolo River. Its name is Murtoli, a secret destination whispered about by those in the<br />
know. This unique setting has a poetic air, with two thous<strong>and</strong> hectares of completely wild brush-covered<br />
terrain where flora <strong>and</strong> fauna have been left to thrive untouched.<br />
The Murtoli Estate offers many inviting coves <strong>and</strong> an endless white s<strong>and</strong> beach that stretches over a dozen<br />
kilometers along the Mediterranean Sea, a true paradise.<br />
An Exceptional <strong>Hunting</strong> Ground<br />
The Ortolo Estate offers an exceptional hunting ground boasting two thous<strong>and</strong> hectares of well-preserved<br />
ecosystem with a widely varying l<strong>and</strong>scape featuring mountains, forests <strong>and</strong> brush interspersed with prairies<br />
<strong>and</strong> swampl<strong>and</strong>. Some fields are farmed <strong>and</strong> sown with grain, providing welcome feed for wild game, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
olive groves are kept invitingly free of undergrowth.<br />
Here, visitors can hunt alone or accompanied by the game keeper Jean-Louis <strong>and</strong> his team. Although the<br />
estate provides dogs, shotguns <strong>and</strong> rifles, there is also a kennel to accommodate our canine guests.<br />
The Estate welcomes visitors for the hunting season, approximately six months of the year from September to<br />
the end of February. Wild boar is the big game here <strong>and</strong> is hunted in the traditional beating method, with a<br />
pack of hounds <strong>and</strong> beaters, or from a hide early in the season.<br />
Small game, like partridge, pheasant <strong>and</strong> hare live on the grounds, which are also a choice l<strong>and</strong>ing spot for<br />
migratory birds such as thrush, woodcock, doves <strong>and</strong> ducks, depending on the season.<br />
<strong>Fishing</strong> for the Most Avid Sportsman<br />
At the Murtoli Estate, fishermen can also pursue their passion, with fishing opportunities many sportsmen only<br />
dream of. In May <strong>and</strong> June, coastal net fishing is offered for tuna, such as amberjack, leerfish <strong>and</strong> “domti.”<br />
Those who prefer line fishing can catch sizable “pajots,” sargo bream <strong>and</strong> s<strong>and</strong> steenbras, which can be grilled<br />
for a tasty meal, or like “dentis” are used as bait for deeper sea fishing. On the coast, there are spear fishing or<br />
surf casting excursions for catching sea bream or sea bass.<br />
In August, September <strong>and</strong> October, join us for the big game fishing season, with Captain Henri <strong>and</strong> his 31-foot<br />
fully equipped fishing boat, for deep sea fishing allowed only at competition time <strong>and</strong> for deep sea net fishing<br />
to bring in the largest catches..<br />

the hassle of travelling by air with a gun. Winchester cartridges are available on site for 12, 16 <strong>and</strong> 20 bore guns.<br />
The estate is 60 km from Toulouse International Airport with direct flights from most European capitals <strong>and</strong> 25<br />

Manager: Stefan Bengtsson<br />
Sc<strong>and</strong>inavian Prohunters arranges hunts throughout Sweden for a variety of species. We are proud to say we have access<br />
to the best, most professionally managed areas, <strong>and</strong> for those who want to experience other countries in Europe, we also<br />
have hunts in Irel<strong>and</strong>, Engl<strong>and</strong>, Scotl<strong>and</strong>, Spain, Austria <strong>and</strong> Pol<strong>and</strong>. If you would like to combine your Swedish hunt with<br />
other hunts throughout Europe, we can easily arrange it.<br />
Sweden is a large country with a huge diversity of game, offering great hunting as well as beautiful scenery. In the<br />
temperature farming country of southern Sweden, we offer hunts for roebuck, moose, red deer, fallow deer, wild boar,<br />
ducks <strong>and</strong> geese. These hunts also feature great accommodations, making it a perfect hunting holiday. For those who<br />
prefer the wilderness <strong>and</strong> a more rugged hunt, we can arrange a hunt in northern Sweden for moose <strong>and</strong> Capercaillie birds.<br />
In the neighbouring country of Norway we offer hunts for European reindeer <strong>and</strong> in Denmark for red deer, fallow deer, Sika<br />
deer <strong>and</strong> driven pheasants. There is a great variety of species that can be combined, so the choice is yours.<br />
Sweden is rich in history, with great sightseeing <strong>and</strong>, of course, wonderful shopping for non-hunters. The hunting,<br />
sightseeing <strong>and</strong> shopping opportunities all feature great accommodations, which can even be upgraded to a castle or<br />
old manor houses. Most couples choose to stay after the hunt to explore the country on their own. The infrastructure of<br />
Sweden is first class, <strong>and</strong> crime is virtually non-existent---AND everyone speaks English, making it much easier to travel.<br />
Moose hunting Traditional Swedish moose hunting with a moose dog is a great experience. After locating the moose, the<br />
dog will hold the animal at bay until the hunter arrives. This is a hunt for people who appreciate a true “Fair Chase” hunt.<br />
You can choose to hunt one-on-one or in a group.<br />
Roebuck stalking Sweden is world-famous for its beautiful roebuck. We have several areas in southern Sweden where we<br />
can hunt these small, beautiful deer.<br />
Other species We have several areas in Sweden <strong>and</strong> Norway where we offer hunts for reindeer, red deer, fallow deer, wild<br />
boar, mouflon, European bison <strong>and</strong> beaver.<br />
Driven hunts There is a long tradition of driven hunts in Sweden. These hunts are very well organised, <strong>and</strong> safety is a top<br />
priority. Driven hunts can be wild boar hunts only, or a mixture of moose, red deer, fallow deer, roe deer <strong>and</strong> wild boar.<br />
Capercaillie The Capercaillie is one of the most beautiful trophies in Europe. We hunt them with a special breed of dog<br />
called “Tradskallare”. This hunt is similar to moose hunting with a dog. The dog finds the bird in the tree <strong>and</strong> barks until the<br />
hunter finds the clever bird. We combine the Capercaille hunt with a hunt for black grouse.<br />
Duck <strong>and</strong> goose hunting Our duck hunts feature high quality <strong>and</strong> a high volume of birds. Our main area for hunting these<br />
birds is the Bjorkvik Estate, regarded as one of the best areas in Europe for high-quality wing shooting. We arrange hunts<br />
of 200 birds <strong>and</strong> more.<br />
Geese are always difficult to hunt, but there is no bag limit, <strong>and</strong> on a good day, it is spectacular! Geese shooting at Barseback<br />
is regarded as the best there is!<br />
European style<br />
Every year we offer a few special group programmes for hunters who want to try a bit of everything. We combine moose<br />
hunting with driven hunts. Trophy hunting as well as wing shooting is also offered. These hunts are for small groups, <strong>and</strong><br />
it is quite acceptable to bring along non-hunters, in order to combine the hunting with a few days of Christmas shopping<br />
in Stockholm.<br />

Soto Real Andalucia, Spain<br />
Spain has always had a peculiar attraction for hunters. It of course has two very unique ways of hunting namely<br />
the “ojeo” driven partridge <strong>and</strong> the “monteria” driven big game.<br />
Andalucia has long been the el dorado of partridge shooters, providing some of the world’s finest shooting, in<br />
breathtaking scenery of hills <strong>and</strong> valleys.<br />
In contrast with the more northern hunting areas, Seville boasts a reputation of ever sunny skies <strong>and</strong> mild<br />
temperatures the whole hunting season long. Taking the sun at his post, with these “Spanish grouses” all around<br />
you is a pleasure for any hunter. The informal yet traditional atmosphere, punctuated by the convivial Spanish<br />
hospitality, makes these outings a daylong fiesta. Put Soto Real, the exclusive hunting resort <strong>and</strong> retreat in<br />
these surroundings <strong>and</strong> a <strong>Magic</strong> <strong>Safari</strong> Lodge is born.<br />
But, what really triggers everyone’s imagination is that you can walk around in short sleeves in winter, enjoying<br />
your days out hunting while friends or associates back home are shivering in the cold.<br />
Your only thought then is: “this is magic”.<br />
Nature around Soto Real could not be more tempting! A true sportsman will appreciate the swift flight of the<br />
red-legged partridges driven from the hills by the majestic Andalusian horses over an armada of a dozen pair<br />
gunned shooters.<br />
Spain is rated as one of Europe’s last hunting paradises <strong>and</strong> the abundant nature of Soto Real offers most<br />
exciting opportunities for the shooting sportsman. The 5.000 acre shooting grounds are bordered on one side<br />
by the delta of the Guadalquivir <strong>and</strong> on the other by the Sierra Grazalema.<br />
Red-legged partridges are amongst the most challenging birds in Europe <strong>and</strong> our driven partridge shoots are<br />
an absolute delight! The mild Spanish climate almost always guarantees clear blue skies <strong>and</strong> warming sun. The<br />
breathtaking views of the Andalusian countryside <strong>and</strong> the beauty of the typical red partridge make the picture<br />
complete. Season starts early October to end only mid March<br />

Soto Real Andalucia, Spain<br />
Wonderful outdoor cocktails, lunches prepared in the countryside by our chef <strong>and</strong> a beautiful presentation of<br />
the bag of the day will contribute to make your stay at Soto Real an unforgettable synergetic experience.<br />
Depending on the time of year, Soto Real offers many other shooting possibilities.<br />
From July till the end of September, quail <strong>and</strong> rabbits walk up shooting over dogs is organized for small groups.<br />
During the normal hunting season, hares <strong>and</strong> partridges can further fill up your bag <strong>and</strong> towards the end of the<br />
season flights of thrush represent a particular attraction.<br />
The main cortijo has this very special feel of a wonderful country house.<br />
Each room designed <strong>and</strong> decorated in a delightful blend of traditional Andalusian <strong>and</strong> old Moresque style, has<br />
an en suite luxury bathroom, intimate salon <strong>and</strong> private terrace.<br />
Soto Real does not attempt to present an image or make a statement. The aim is to provide guests with quiet<br />
comfort <strong>and</strong> discreet service, which will enable them to relax <strong>and</strong> draw from surroundings <strong>and</strong> to restore the<br />
senses that modern life tends to crush. The perception of luxury also has a touch of elegance: decoration is<br />
luxurious yet without ostentation, fantasy in all sobriety giving total tranquility.<br />
Soto Real is also perfect for couples <strong>and</strong> families, for a long weekend or a short week. It is within easy driving<br />
distance of the Mediterranean <strong>and</strong> the Atlantic, the towns of Jerez, Sevilla <strong>and</strong> Cordoba <strong>and</strong> the surrounding<br />
white villages - all available as chauffeur-driven excursions.<br />
In the cortijo itself there are opportunities for horse <strong>and</strong> carriage riding, fitness, sauna, as well as a beautycenter,<br />
tennis <strong>and</strong> clay shooting, all organized by professional staff.<br />
Big game also abounds in the forested hills with species such as the red- <strong>and</strong> fallow deer, roe, mouflon <strong>and</strong><br />
not forgetting the much-coveted wild boar. <strong>Hunting</strong> them in Monteria style, driven by dogs “podencos <strong>and</strong><br />
mastines”, holds the greatest fascination for anyone, given both the skills <strong>and</strong> the ancient rites involved.<br />
Stalking the Spanish Ibex is a challenge for the fittest as the mountains around Ronda can take their toll.<br />

Wild<strong>Hunting</strong> Company Turkey<br />
Wild<strong>Hunting</strong> in Turkey is owned <strong>and</strong> managed by the Ekenler Family <strong>and</strong> currently run by two brothers,<br />
Kürşat <strong>and</strong> Temir. They are both extremely keen young hunters <strong>and</strong> have hunted extensively throughout<br />
Turkey <strong>and</strong> abroad.<br />
The Ekenler family has been l<strong>and</strong>owners in Tarsus, Cukurova area for more than 300 years. <strong>Hunting</strong> is a family<br />
tradition, proudly passed from father to son <strong>and</strong> finally to us. We have always had a passion for the wild; This<br />
has been supported by their father who took Temir <strong>and</strong> Kürşat with him to many hunts all over the world.<br />
With some of the world’s finest species on our doorstep, we have naturally concentrated on big game hunting.<br />
Wild<strong>Hunting</strong> offers a total of 6 speacies of big game, which are natively found only on Turkish hunting l<strong>and</strong>,<br />
this makes the hunting unique!<br />
1) Anatolian Bezoar Ibex 2) Anatolian Konya Sheep 3) Anatolian Chamois<br />
4) Anatolian Red Deer 5) Anatolian Urfa Gazelle 6) Anatolian Wild Boar<br />
Our family has controlled the shooting in large areas of the Taurus Mountains for generations. We therefore<br />
operate as a private family hunting estate, rather than an agent buying from different concessions all over<br />
the region. As a result, we have controlled, conserved <strong>and</strong> developed our areas in a manner that we believe<br />
to be unique in the whole country. This approach is key to our way of maintaining the highest st<strong>and</strong>ards in<br />
everything we do.<br />
Anatolian Bezoar Ibex: is a very popular big game of our mountains <strong>and</strong> has a very special reputation<br />
amongst hunters from around the World <strong>and</strong> a very challenging <strong>and</strong> special hunt for us. We have managed to<br />
protect <strong>and</strong> control the game by careful selective shooting <strong>and</strong> are proud to say that we have some of Turkey’s<br />
finest trophy Ibex hunting – with trophies that most can only dream about. We have averaged 44’’(110cm) over<br />
the past hunting years <strong>and</strong> harvest more than a few trophies between 48’’ – 52’’(120-130cm).<br />
We have also been living this dream of ethical, sporting hunting, conserving both the game <strong>and</strong> our wonderful<br />
natural environment, for ourselves, our clients <strong>and</strong> our guests, now <strong>and</strong> in the future.<br />
Anatolian Wild Boar: is the most common big game <strong>and</strong> a very exciting hunt for our hunting guests; since<br />
Turkey produces the biggest boars in the World with body size exceeding 200-250kg <strong>and</strong> tusks measuring<br />
between 24-30cm.<br />
We have been organizing <strong>and</strong> carrying out hunts for our guests,<br />
with a very experienced <strong>and</strong> trained team for over 20 years.<br />
We do not over promise, over sell or over hunt. Our family reputation is far too important for that. This<br />
experience, applied to the management of our home estates, equips us to provide you with the hunting trip<br />
of a lifetime.<br />
OUR EXTENSIVE WORLDWIDE HUNTING EXPERIENCE MEANS THAT;<br />
WE SEE THE TRIP FROM A CLIENTS EYES, WHICH WE THINK IS VITAL!<br />

Wild<strong>Hunting</strong> Company Turkey<br />
Détenue et gérée par la famille Ekenler, la société Wild<strong>Hunting</strong> in Turkey est actuellement dirigée par deux<br />
frères, Temir et Kürşat. Tous deux sont de jeunes chasseurs passionnés qui ont une riche expérience de la<br />
chasse en Turquie et à travers le monde.<br />
La famille Ekenler possède des propriétés foncières à Tarse, dans la région de Çukurova, depuis plus de 300 ans.<br />
La chasse est une tradition familiale fièrement transmise de père en fils, et qu’ils partagent avec nous. Temir et<br />
Kürşat sont passionnés par la vie sauvage depuis toujours, notamment grâce à leur père, qu’ils ont accompagné<br />
à de nombreuses chasses à travers le monde. Forts de la présence de quelques-unes des plus belles espèces du<br />
monde à notre porte, nous nous sommes naturellement spécialisés dans la chasse au gros gibier. Wild<strong>Hunting</strong><br />
s’attèle à la chasse de six espèces de gros gibier qui se trouvent uniquement sur le territoire de chasse turc à<br />
l’état sauvage. Une exclusivité qui lui confère un caractère unique!<br />
1) Bouquetin d’Anatolie 2) Mouflon d’Anatolie 3) Chamois d’Anatolie<br />
4) Cerf rouge d’Anatolie 5) Gazelle d’Anatolie 6) Sanglier d’Anatolie<br />
Notre famille gère la chasse dans une gr<strong>and</strong>e partie des montagnes du Taurus depuis des générations. C’est<br />
pourquoi notre activité s’apparente davantage à un domaine de chasse familial privé et non à une agence<br />
s’appropriant différentes concessions dans toute la région. Par conséquent, notre région fait l’objet de mesures<br />
de contrôle, de préservation et de développement sans pareil à l’échelle nationale. Cette approche nous<br />
permet de maintenir les normes les plus strictes dans l’ensemble de nos activités.<br />
La pratique du tir minutieux et sélectif nous permet de garantir la protection et le contrôle du gibier. Nous<br />
sommes fiers d’avoir chassé des bouquetins qui font partie des meilleurs trophées de chasse en Turquie et<br />
dont plupart des chasseurs ne peuvent que rêver. Pour preuve, les trophées récoltés ces dernières années<br />
mesurent 110 cm en moyenne, et il n’est pas rare qu’ils atteignent 120 à 130 cm.<br />
Notre pratique de la chasse se veut éthique et sportive. Nous veillons à la préservation du gibier et de notre<br />
merveilleux environnement naturel, pour notre propre plaisir mais aussi celui de nos clients et invités,<br />
aujourd’hui comme demain.<br />
Le sanglier d’Anatolie, l’espèce de gros gibier la plus commune, offre des parties de chasse passionnantes<br />
à nos invités. La Turquie possède les plus gros sangliers du monde, qui pèsent 200 à 250 kg et arborent des<br />
défenses de 24 à 30 cm.<br />
Hautement expérimentée et qualifiée, notre équipe organise et dirige<br />
des parties de chasse pour nos invités depuis plus de 20 ans.<br />
Nous ne formulons pas de promesses démesurées, ne vantons pas excessivement nos mérites et<br />
ne pratiquons pas une chasse abusive. Il en va de la renommée de notre famille. Cette philosophie dirige<br />
l’ensemble de nos activités, ce qui nous permet de vous offrir une expérience inoubliable.<br />
NOTRE PROFONDE CONNAISSANCE DE LA CHASSE DANS LE MONDE ENTIER NOUS PERMET DE NOUS METTRE<br />

Australian Buffalo Hunters Australia<br />
New (pending) SCI #3 Asiatic Water Buffalo Mid 2012 repeat hunters Bill Morris <strong>and</strong> Larry Waide from<br />
Oregon had taken an excellent Buffalo each, but were keen to keep hunting. We decided to explore a far<br />
corner of a big concession, where Larry found a very old Buffalo with super heavy horns <strong>and</strong> wide spread, a<br />
fantastic trophy taken perfectly with his CZ 416RM.<br />
Later that afternoon we hunted along pools of water adjacent to the river, we had shot two wild pigs <strong>and</strong> I was<br />
heading back to get the Toyota. The hunters continued walking, <strong>and</strong> bumped into a monster Buffalo 300yards<br />
away… Bill wanted that bull.<br />
Andrea’ the assistant ran back to get me, “Biggest buffalo I have ever seen” he gasped. So I arrived on foot with<br />
pack <strong>and</strong> rifle. Bill pointed to some low paper bark tree scrub, “feeding over there, big horns, I will definitely<br />
take him” were his firm instructions to the guide.!! So without hesitation we approached down wind <strong>and</strong><br />
keeping low. I glimpsed the animal <strong>and</strong> wanted to look... however Bill rushed me, “that’s him, lets go” <strong>and</strong><br />
immediately he was forward <strong>and</strong> in the shooting sticks. As the Bull appeared through a gap at 50yards he fired<br />
twice with his Blaser R8 in 416RM <strong>and</strong> put it down.<br />
As we approached, I then realized why these guys were so keen, as every step closer it got bigger. What a truly<br />
amazing old Buffalo, this is bigger than anything I have dreamed of, a freak. Its body was bigger, taller, longer<br />
than normal, <strong>and</strong> its horns 83” spread tip to tip, huge 19” bases. The entire horns were so heavy that the last<br />
5 or 6 years they have grown downwards <strong>and</strong> the tips worn on the ground. I will never see a bigger Buffalo in<br />
the wild…!!!<br />
Arnhem L<strong>and</strong> – Genuine Wilderness We specialize in Australia’s best dangerous game hunting safaris.<br />
We have 4x highly productive concessions in Aboriginal owned Arnhem l<strong>and</strong> wilderness, with large herds of<br />
Buffalo, some Scrub Bull (wild ox) <strong>and</strong> occasional Wild Boar. We do not hunt coastal swamps or ranches. We<br />
do not use quad bikes or helicopters. We only offer ethical <strong>and</strong> traditional rifle <strong>and</strong> bow hunting on foot, over<br />
scenic terrain of grassy hills, streams <strong>and</strong> rivers in fertile valleys producing excellent 90-105 SCI Buffalo bulls,<br />
<strong>and</strong> unique wide bulls to 1.3m (50”) spread because of the open Savana.<br />
Classic Tented <strong>Safari</strong> Camps Run like an old African expedition, our camps are always moved to be close to<br />
herds of wild buffalo. Large canvas tents, canvas bag showers, flushing camp toilets, bunk beds, safari chairs,<br />
great meals <strong>and</strong> drinks. Not a luxury Tanzania camp with extra staff. But real hunters will enjoy a remote<br />
excellent safari camp <strong>and</strong> a true adventure. Best season: June, July, August.<br />
Excellent Service We provide honest, reliable <strong>and</strong> professional service. We also operate Australian Down<br />
Under <strong>Safari</strong>s to arrange free range Banteng, Rusa, Axis <strong>and</strong> Red in other states. A proud Member of many<br />
clubs, <strong>and</strong> dedicated Life Member of IPHA, SSAA <strong>and</strong> SCI. I personally invite you to experience Australia’s best<br />
dangerous game hunting. Graham Williams, Professional Hunter.<br />

Treetops Lodge <strong>and</strong> Wilderness Experience New Zeal<strong>and</strong><br />
The first fingers of fire light up the grey eastern sky. Over the 1,000 hectare expanse of the Treetops Estate,<br />
skeins of mist roll away with the approaching dawn. The moan of a rutting stag pierces the chill morning<br />
air. Silhouetted on a vantage point, you can see him, one of the magnificent trophy animals that draw sports<br />
enthusiasts to Treetops from around the globe.<br />
A little later the sun has warmed the air <strong>and</strong> the mist has cleared. As you set off, gun broken over your arm,<br />
you’ve scarcely walked for five minutes before the dogs suddenly point <strong>and</strong> the cover explodes as two monster<br />
pheasants leap into the air.<br />
Red deer <strong>and</strong> pheasant are only two of the many game species that flourish in New Zeal<strong>and</strong>’s premier sports<br />
trophy reserve. Wapiti (elk),red, sika, sambar, rusa <strong>and</strong> fallow deer are all managed on the estate along with one<br />
of New Zeal<strong>and</strong>’s finest herds of wild rams <strong>and</strong> wild boar. There is also a healthy population of duck, for whom<br />
no less than six wetl<strong>and</strong>s, ranging in size from 0.6 to 2.5 hectares, have been created over the last fifteen years.<br />
Many guests who have achieved a prize red stag trophy swap their rifle for a trout rod <strong>and</strong> head for one of<br />
Treetops’ several ponds. Set amongst one of New Zeal<strong>and</strong>’s finest rainbow <strong>and</strong> brown trout fishing regions,<br />
Treetops offers anglers fishing right in its own 1,000 hectares of private l<strong>and</strong>. The clear, cold highly oxygenated<br />
waters of its spring fed streams nourish a population of rainbow, brook <strong>and</strong> brown trout.<br />
Treetops also offers anglers daily guided fishing ventures, whether it be by 4WD or helicopter into some of the<br />
country’s most beautiful native forest streams <strong>and</strong> lakes, for which the region is world renown.<br />
The highly successful development of Treetops as a premier sports destination has been based on a<br />
commitment to good game management, says owner John Sax. “We recognized early on that game<br />
management is effectively eco management, <strong>and</strong> that it necessitates the implementation of a conservation<br />
policy <strong>and</strong> a sustainable harvest regime. Good game management looks at what can be put back in to the<br />
environment. The never ending question is ‘how can we make this environment better for man <strong>and</strong> wildlife for<br />
a better tomorrow?’”<br />
The lush look of the property is also the result of years of effort, including planting of over 70,000 trees.<br />
“One of the key factors affecting the sustainability of wild life is the timing, quality <strong>and</strong> quantity of the food<br />
supply” says Sax. “You can’t sustain a population if the total feed supply is only there for a couple of months a<br />
year.” Working in close co-operation with government <strong>and</strong> private agencies, the Estate was planted in a range<br />
of crops preferred by game species to provide continuous year round feed. Quick growing <strong>and</strong> maturing<br />
species like shadbash, chokeberries <strong>and</strong> catoniastas initially held the fort. After 15 years, longer term planting<br />
such as oaks, cherries <strong>and</strong> elders are now maturing.<br />

Pockets of virgin native bush throughout the estate, including some spectacular st<strong>and</strong>s of tawa trees, have<br />
been carefully preserved. Care has also been taken to retain cover <strong>and</strong> food sources favoured by protected<br />
native species such as the kereru (native pigeon) <strong>and</strong> fern bird. Undesirables like possums, ferrets, rats, cats<br />
<strong>and</strong> rabbits are kept out of the estate by an ongoing trapping <strong>and</strong> hunting programme carried out by the<br />
Estate staff.<br />
Inside the estate, deer are eco managed by offering them crops like red clover <strong>and</strong> swedes, which they much<br />
prefer to native forest vegetation. Wild pigs are controlled using a similar strategy. And yes, wild venison <strong>and</strong><br />
pork appear regularly on the Treetops menu.<br />
The temperate climate of northern New Zeal<strong>and</strong> has also helped Treetops produce some of the finest trophies<br />
in the world, says John Sax. “the lush vegetation growth found at Treetops is one of the key factors in the growth<br />
of many of our large stags. The habitat at Treetops is arguably New Zeal<strong>and</strong>’s finest <strong>and</strong> has also ensured that it<br />
has one of the highest deer densities of any reserve in New Zeal<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> thus a wide range of animals to choose<br />
from. Treetops has the enviable record of having achieved a 100% success rate to date in successfully guiding<br />
clients to a trophy stag of their choosing”.<br />
“We are also proud of the fact that all red stags taken at Treetops are of SCI record book quality. Most of<br />
our clients are seeking a good representative quality stag which is typically 20+ points <strong>and</strong> approximately 40<br />
inches or so in length. The majority of animals harvested score at least 320 SCI but each year we guide hunters<br />
onto Gold Medal, Diamond <strong>and</strong> Diamond ++ of 450 SCI plus. Due to the geographic location of Treetops in a<br />
tranquil, secluded valley, hunting conditions remain comfortable throughout the season, which runs from the<br />
rut in late March until the end of August” for most deer species <strong>and</strong> continues on until late October for Rusa<br />
<strong>and</strong> into early December for Samba.<br />
Treetops offers a selection of personalised packages for discerning hunters with the benefit of exclusive use of<br />
our hunting Estate. There is also the option for tahr <strong>and</strong> chamois alpine hunts in the Southern Alps.<br />
Treetops Lodge is the ultimate in world-class luxury accommodation situated in the Rotorua region, the heart<br />

Spring <strong>and</strong> Fall Hunts on Vancouver Isl<strong>and</strong>: Spot-<strong>and</strong>-stalk hunts for Black Bear <strong>and</strong> Roosevelt Elk<br />
Our 7800 square kilometer exclusive hunting territory is located along the rugged west coast of Vancouver<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>. The area has over 50 grizzly-free salmon river valleys where the Black Bear feed in the Fall. The Black<br />
Bear hunting here is unsurpassed due to superior genetics <strong>and</strong> the densest populations of Black Bear per<br />
square kilometer of anywhere in North America. There are no other locations that have better success rates,<br />
sizes or ages of bears harvested.<br />
Vancouver Isl<strong>and</strong> is also well-known as the premier destination for pure Roosevelt Elk. We consistently<br />
produce record book bulls.<br />
We also offer Coastal Wolf as an add-on animal for a trophy fee on early Spring Black bear hunts, as well as<br />
Sitka Deer on the Fall hunts.<br />
A second Black Bear may be taken on a trophy fee basis.<br />
We limit the number of hunters we book to ensure that every hunter has the best possible hunting<br />
experience. On the Spring Black Bear hunts we prefer to book just two hunters per hunt date who will take<br />
two bears each, but we will take a maximum of four hunters per hunt date if requested. In the Fall we only<br />
take one or two hunters per hunt date. Roosevelt Elk hunts are limited to two hunters per season.<br />
We use a combination of custom-designed boats <strong>and</strong> quads to access the many beaches <strong>and</strong> logging roads<br />
within our guide territory. Camp accommodations may be provided in either our live-aboard boat or a rustic<br />
log cabin lodge, or some combination of both, depending on where we are hunting.<br />
It is this combination of excellent equipment, comfortable camps, superior animals <strong>and</strong> professional services<br />
that enables us to maximize our hunters’ opportunities while providing a true wilderness hunting experience.<br />
Seasons: 5 day 1:1 hunts for Spring Black Bear, Coastal Wolf - April 1- May 20<br />
10 day 1:1 hunts for Roosevelt Elk, Sitka Deer - October 10 - 20<br />
5 day 1:1 hunts for Fall Black Bear, Sitka Deer - October 21- November 5<br />
To Get Here: Clients fly into Vancouver International the day before the hunt starts <strong>and</strong> then take a 30 minute<br />
commuter flight over to Comox Airport on Vancouver Isl<strong>and</strong>. We pick clients up at Comox Airport <strong>and</strong><br />
take them to a hotel for the night. The next morning we drive them to the hunting area on the west coast of<br />
the Isl<strong>and</strong> to begin the hunt. Alternatively, clients may choose to rent a vehicle at Vancouver International<br />
<strong>and</strong> take the ferry service across to Vancouver Isl<strong>and</strong>.<br />

Welcome to the creative world<br />
of ‘The Owl Distillery’<br />
Barley raised in Belgium<br />
Whisky made<br />
BELGIAN<br />
SINGLE MALT<br />
HANDCRAFTED<br />
... our barley fields are in Belgium, in the Hesbaye region. Underneath, 40 metres<br />
below the surface, translucent, protected water is found in a geological zone formed<br />
during the Cretaceous period. Our barley is called Sebastian, two-row spring barley<br />
... you will discover that the dream of a craftsman has become reality, a committed,<br />
passionate craftsman... our pot stills have been in use since the 1880s, <strong>and</strong> now they<br />
distil a Single Malt for “The Owl Distillery”. This new distillate has fruity <strong>and</strong> floral<br />
aromas... <strong>and</strong> time works its magic in our first-fill Bourbon barrels. Oak gives its<br />
best, adding spicy <strong>and</strong> vanilla notes... each barrel has its own influence <strong>and</strong> colour. We<br />
respect these differences, including for colours, which can thus be different, naturally<br />
different... bottling is done at 46% vol., in order to avoid cold filtration <strong>and</strong> retain the<br />
greatest possible intensity of flavours...<br />
... I’m curious, <strong>and</strong> if you are too, you’ll find the answers to your questions, such as:<br />
“What does a Single Malt Whisky taste like during the different steps of its ageing?”<br />
or “When does the colour from the barrel become significant?”...<br />
You’ll find these answers in the world of the ‘Belgian Owl’, our world, a dream <strong>and</strong><br />
now a reality...<br />

LES COLVERTS DE SABOURNAC – France<br />
Unique in Europe, Sabournac is a private hunting estate that has been organizing mallard shoots over the<br />
last twenty years or so on the principles of the large “English style battues”. This type of hunting surprises<br />
<strong>and</strong> appeals to hunters, who like firing a few hundred cartridges on high-flying mallards. The birds fly over<br />
surprisingly high, which forces top-shooters to equip themselves with full-choke guns. The estate is open<br />
from September 1st to January 31st <strong>and</strong> may be reserved by a single group of 4 to 12 guns.<br />
CAMPEMENT DE L’ELÉPHANT – Burkina-Faso<br />
<strong>Hunting</strong> francolin <strong>and</strong> guinea-fowl at r<strong>and</strong>om is the speciality of the Elephant Camp together with pass<br />
shooting turtle-dove <strong>and</strong> s<strong>and</strong>-grouse at waterholes especially equipped for the purpose. The season goes<br />
from December through to March. Hunters will find a comfortable camp (air-conditioning <strong>and</strong> swimming<br />
pool) <strong>and</strong> all the unfamiliar sights <strong>and</strong> sounds of the African bush.<br />
CORTIJO SOTO REAL – Spain<br />
A unique sporting challenge awaits you at Soto Real. An authentic five-star hunting lodge set among the<br />
palm trees, bougainvillea, <strong>and</strong> orange trees of a working estate in the rolling hills of Andalusia. Driven redlegged<br />
partridges are hunted from October until March <strong>and</strong> walked-up quail from July to September.<br />
You can truly expect a challenge above <strong>and</strong> beyond the usual at Soto Real.<br />
EagleMP – Argentina<br />
The EagleMP camp is a reference in duck-shooting in San Javier, located in the province of Santa Fé, which<br />
is considered to be one of the most reputed regions in the world for duck-shooting. EagleMP has been<br />
managed by Frenchmen for the last 20 years. The season goes from February throught to July with a<br />
change in biotopes: from paddy fields to marshes passing by the Parana isl<strong>and</strong>s. Turtledoves can also be<br />
hunted with over 1,000 cartridges fired per day.<br />
GREAT SPANISH HUNT – Madrid, Spain<br />
Only 45 minutes from Madrid, outst<strong>and</strong>ing red legged partridge shooting in Spain is at its very best on the<br />
La Fnca <strong>and</strong> Fuensauco estates, run by Javier Corsini who is one of the most respected shoot owners in<br />
Spain with his 30 years of experience. His professionalism, his rigour <strong>and</strong> his expertise are a guarantee that<br />
you will have a magnificent stay with a booty of between 500 <strong>and</strong> 2,000 birds, depending on the size of the<br />
party. Surrounded by an estate of 3,000 hectares, a luxury hunting lodge is ready to welcome you, with its<br />
gastronomic creations <strong>and</strong> top-quality Spanish wines that will really make your stay unforgettable.<br />
KOULOUDIA – Lake Tchad, Tchad<br />
The new KOULOUDIA air-conditioned camp, 3 hours away from N’Djamena offers exceptional hunting<br />
for teal, pintail, shovelers <strong>and</strong> African duck coming from Europe for the winter. The season goes from<br />
November through to March in the Lake Chad overflow areas, which are cultivated by villagers <strong>and</strong><br />
where duck come <strong>and</strong> eat.<br />
PUELO EXPEDITION - Cordoba, Argentina<br />
Cordoba is considered the dove shooting capital of the world. Over 50 million doves annually inhabit<br />
the 60-mile radius (95 km) around Puelo Expedition’s lodge. Doves offer fast <strong>and</strong> challenging shooting<br />
with a high number of cartridge shot in one day, from 1000 to 3000 cartridges a day, sometimes even<br />
more. Puelo Expedition runs 2 different lodges with the high quality st<strong>and</strong>ard to offer the best service to<br />
hunters. Puelo Expedition runs a lodge in the Buenos Aires province for those who want to combine dove<br />
hunting with duck hunting.<br />
TAMASI - Gyulaj, Hongria<br />
Gyulaj is a territory belonging to the Hungarian water <strong>and</strong> forestry authorities, which offers exclusive big<br />
wild boar battues in open or closed territory. The size of the estates (900 ha <strong>and</strong> more) maintains the<br />
quality of the hunt <strong>and</strong> offers everyone the possibility of taking a large number of young boar or big tusked<br />
males. A guard accompanies every person at his post during the 3 or 4 beats of the day, which can be<br />
organized over a whole weekend. A torchlight presentation of the bag is made to the best Hungarian traditions<br />
at the end of the day’s shoot, before returning to the very comfortable hunting lodge.<br />
