David Tennent Hunting Safaris

We at David Tennent Hunting Safaris can arrange your African Hunting Safari, be it for the big five or the tiny five. We can tailor-make your African Safari to include a tour either before or after your Hunting Safari. We have a 10 seater mini-bus which can accommodate 9 PAX. It has tinted windows for your comfort as well as an on-board 40lt fridge for your convience.

We have access to great hunting concession areas throughout Southern Africa.

Our prices are quoted in South African Rands (ZAR) as clients can take advantage of the weak ZAR and the strong US$ and Euro.

We have had late rains this year and the bush in the Limpopo Province of South Africa (north of Johannesburg) is still very thick. Our suggestion to clients coming out early in the hunting season is to hunt the Free State Province of South Africa (south of Johannesburg). The terrain is more open with undulating hills and mountains which make hunting both challenging and rewarding. The shooting distances are longer than in the Limpopo Province so rifle calibres in the 300Win class would be a good choice especially for springbuck, where shots are taken at 300 yards +.

So if you are planning your next African Hunting Safari drop us an email and we will plan a great Hunting Safari for you.

Bring along the whole family. Stephanie can keep them occupied while you are out hunting. Stephanie can arrange day trips either for shopping or to places of interest in the area.

We at David Tennent Hunting Safaris will ensure that you have a great safari with great memories and great trophies.

The following morning we went out to look for Black Wildebeest. We knew where a herd of 6 Black Wildebeest bulls hung out and we went to see if we could find a suitable bull for Reza. We found the herd and had a good look at them. There were some good bulls in the herd but I had seen a better bull with another herd the previous day. Once the second herd was spotted we decided to stalk the herd of Black Wildebeest. There was very little or no cover for us to stalk undetected so we walked in single file and slowly moved towards the herd. The Black Wildebeest were getting very nervous at about 200 meters and started there usual running around in circles and charging off only to return a little closer to us. Two bulls decided that they would have a go at each other and started fighting. At about 150 meters the two bulls stopped fighting and had a good look at us - the one that we wanted was a little off to the right hand side of the herd. Once the shooting sticks were up and Reza was comfortable, we waited for the bull to turn slightly, as he was facing us straight on. The bull turned to its right and Reza put in a great shot, the bull went about 20 meters and piled up. It was indeed a great Black Wildebeest and once photographs were taken it was off to the skinning shed where Jacob would do his magic.

 This was the end of Reza’s short 4 day hunt and his first experience in Hunting South Africa. We are sure that Reza will be back in Africa for another African Hunting Safari. Reza has a score to settle with his “ducking springbuck” which seem to be bullet-proof!!

From all the staff at DTHS we would like to thank Reza for choosing us for his first Africa Safari and we hope that it will not be his last!
