The best travel experience of my life--includes all hunting and fishing trips. Could not believe how nice Limcroma Lodge was. The guides were very friendly. Greg Rodriguez of Global Adventure Outfitters put the hunt together. He has great judgement in picking outfitters. James Jeffery that works with Greg Rodriguez was very helpful to say the least on planning the trip also. Greg Rodriguez and James Jeffery of Global Adventure Outfitters and Hannes Ells of Limcroma Safaris get all the credit for putting together the greatest trip of our lives. My wife loved the hunt!!!! We went to Krueger Park and stayed at Tintswalo Resort for 3 nights-- an incredible experience also. Again, Greg and James J put this together also. Greg Rodriguez and James Jeffery will be involved in all of my hunting trips from now on.

The camps that we stayed at were the most luxurious that I have been to in Africa. The food, service and guiding were superb.The hunting was excellent. The camp is situated right on the Limpopo river on the Botswana border. While there, i saw a 57, 58 and a 64 inch kudu in the skining shed. definitely going back focusing on a monster kudu. |

of Hunt: |
|
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
Taking a great old Dugga Boy. Also passing on many which were actually bigger than the one I took. I saw many bulls over 44 inches for the first few days, but held out for bigger as my friend had taken a 47 and 48 incher. Last 15 minutes of last day I took my 43 inch bull. |

Recommendations: |
|
| Would You
Recommend This Hunt to a Friend? |
Yes |
| Why? |
This is not an inexpensive hunt, but that's as it should be. This is a once in a lifetime event with the opportunity to take bulls from genetics that have not been hunted in over 40 years. |

I would recommend this outfitter to anyone looking to take quality plains game in South Africa. One of the Waterbuck will make top 40 and My Kudu was 57" and 13" bases, The hunts were fair chase and the terrain varied greatly depending on what you were hunting. The PH's are all quality people and the Lodge is very 1st class, great food and a lot of privacy when required. I can't say enough good, so my wife and I and several friends are returning next year to hunt some more species and partake in their birdshooting opportunities. We visited the bird hunting area the last day and although it was late in the season, there were plenty of Fowl and doves. It's really all Very Very good
