Africa March 2026
Figured I would post a few pictures from our hunt a couple weeks ago. Hunted with Madubula Safaris in the Northern Cape just out of Kimberly, SA. There were 5 of us hunting. This was my first hunt just using a rifle. My son and I have a Buffalo and Leopard hunt in Zambia in September, and no handguns allowed, so I wanted to see how a couple rifles worked. Shooting a .404 Jeffery and a .416 Taylor. This was for me the hardest and most enjoyable hunt I have had in Africa thus far.
Buffalo taken with .404 after 6 days of hard hunting, and lots and lots of miles.
Zebra taken with .404
