Imagine stalking through the African bush, creeping up on a giant Shabalala Kudu bull…
This hard to hunt monster is sporting 55” spiral horns and weighing in at around 450 pounds, and here you are… in Africa. Away from the malls and cell phones trying to get your heart to settle down long enough so that you can steady your cross hairs on his vital organs.
Picture yourself driving in Mike’s 4×4 through the game rich South African bush, up to the top of one of Shabalala’s many rugged bluffs and glassing the valley below for a cape eland, blue wildebeest or a trophy gemsbok. As you’re searching the terrain you see your trophy about a half a mile away upwind from you, and now it’s time to test your skills and see if you can creep up to these wary animals and get a shot at Mr. Big.
Envision sitting at a watering hole in your blind as the sun is coming up while you try to keep quiet, as a zebra stallions and trophy impala pour into your stand within bow range of where you are hiding. Imagine drawing that bow and locking your 20-yard pin on the sweet spot of a mature African trophy.
Hunter… can you feel this?
Does this flick your switch?
With Shabalala Safaris this is not a fantasy, but a daily reality which gets even better!
After a day of hard hunting, Mike’s top notch staff will take your trophy and prepare it for the taxidermist and then prepare its back straps for a steak dinner that night as you enjoy the comfort of your cool, thatched chalet or a swim in Shabalala’s swimming pool.
While you’re unwinding and getting cleaned up, Shabalala’s staff will be organizing the wild game dishes, uncorking the fine South African wines and preparing the freshly made baked goods and deserts for you and your party. Their exquisite meals are served either indoors in the main lodge or outdoors in their beautiful thatched roof dining area.
This well-equipped camp in a loaded game area united with the skills of Mike and his well-trained trackers and camp staff will ensure a hunting safari in the African bush that is unforgettable. From the variety of trophy animals, the guarantee of a fair chase, the excellence of service and the moderate costs compared to other safari companies… it doesn’t get much better than hunting with Mike Keeny and Shabalala Safaris.
