Nick hunts great properties and is very knowledgeable. The camp is not well run and Isabel is slow getting back via email. I am still waiting for my trophies 9 months later and do not know where they are at. I believe they may have taken on too many clients. |

I hunted with Fritz Nolte of Nolte Elite Safaris. It was a spectacular experience. We hunted leopard with dogs. Taking a 16 inch male on day number 7. Willem Roux was the dog handler. Fritz, his wife Petra, and Willem were all delightful. I shot 10 plains game trophies. Including the possible new Safari Club number one Kalahari springbok at 50 12/16 inches.
We stayed at the ranch owned by Fritz and Petra. The food was great. The accommodations very comfortable. They did everything to make me feel at home. Fritz is an amazing judge of trophy quality. He takes only the best. Willem Roux was the dog handler. He was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Willem added greatly to the hunt. Petra (Fritz's wife), actively works in the business. She adds a lot to the operation. I plan on going back.

First off I'm a hunting guide and Taxidermist not a writer so bear with. Fritz and wife Petra went out of their way to make this trip great. They personally picked us up and returned us to airport in Windhoek. Petra overseen meals and accommodations, and entertained my wife. We ate like kings and stayed in a nice clean cabin with our own bathroom and shower. Kind of made me feel like I had been slacking on what I furnish elk hunters back in the States. Fritz overseen day to day hunting operations and was my PH. Would like to hire him to guide whitetail hunts, the guy can really see. We were in game all the time . I saw lots of trophy game, But Fritz made sure I only shot what he thought was the best we could find. I guess thats why I got a Kudu that will be in the top 30 all time and a gemsbuck that will be top 100. It was a great hunt I will be back and highly recomend it to any one.
