What to expect

I was brought up in Europe where my father was an army officer and my mother ran the house. We moved between the United Kingdom, Germany and Belgium.

I was sent to boarding school at the age of ten and during every moment of spare time I had, I spent outdoors. Either hunting, fishing or just exploring.

At nineteen I left Europe and headed to Africa which had always attracted me with its game and wild spaces. To start with I travelled through southern Africa from Cape town to Victoria falls and many of the exciting places between. The bush had always interested me and in the end I travelled to a small town in the Lowveld called Hoedspruit. Here I qualified as a game ranger and got to live under the African skies in the wild.

In this time I was exposed to the sounds ,smells, sights and tastes of this wonderful place. Hunting was and always has been a great part of my life and everytime an opportunity arose to hunt I would grab at it. From hunting impala for the camp to eventually hunting with overseas clients which I now do as a professional hunter.

In this blog I will tell of my hunts during these years from bird shooting in the UK to hunting game in Africa. I will share my experiences and give ideas of what to expect from an African safari. What to bring and why the experience should never be let to slip through a true sportsman or womans fingertips.
