In January of 2023 my grandpa asked me if I would like to go on a Cape buffalo hunt with him in Africa. Of course being 22 years old I couldn’t have been any more excited to have an opportunity like this, so the obvious answer for me was “ I’ll be there.” So on August 4th of 2023 my grandpa, my friend Shai, and I arrived in Kimberley South Africa. This being my first trip to Africa and not really knowing what to expect turned into the hunt and experience of a lifetime. I was able to harvest 6 animals including a Sable, Roan, Kudu, Golden Wildebeest, Gemsbuck, and Cape Buffalo. The quality of mature animals that are located here says everything about the conservation efforts at Rockwood. I can’t say enough good about the accommodations and staff at this facility. All day you see so much game and wildlife, there is never a dull moment. On August 14th we flew to the Selous game reserve in Tanzania for the second part of our hunt. On the first day of arriving we went out that evening to see what was awaiting us for the next 16 days. I can’t describe seeing so many different species flourishing in the Selous without you seeing it for yourself. You’ll see herds of buffalo, elephant, wildebeest, hartebeest, zebra, and so much more. On the first day hunting in the Selous I was fortunate enough to harvest a 43 inch Cape buffalo. In total I was able to harvest 10 animals including a Zebra, Impala, Duiker, Lichtenstein Hartebeest, Warthog, Hyena, Nyasa Wildebeest, and Cape buffalo. While we were there my grandpa turned 82 years old, and Game Trackers made it priority to accommodate all of us for what we needed. Again I will say they have a great staff and some of the best PH’s and trackers I have ever been around. Im looking forward to hunting with Game Trackers in the future. If you’re looking for the hunt and experience of a lifetime I highly recommend Game Trackers Africa.

It took me over 5 years to convince my wife Nancy to go to Africa with me on a safari. Once she finally said yes I immediately booked us with GTA. It was a long trip from Florida but so worth it.
Our experience at Rockwood was “UNBELIEVABLE”! Everything was beyond our expectations. The people, accommodations, hospitality, food and Hunting. I got my Cape buffalo and beautiful Roan animals. I added some extra animals while we were there and was successful. Honestly, everyday was an adventure ! We also planned an extra week in Capetown & the wine county. Rockwood is a first class, 5 Star place to to go and see. Thank you all for a wonderful vacation !!!! If you’re considering Africa go with GTA at Rockwood. Contact us with questions.

Talk about a hunt of a lifetime with Game Trackers Africa. My Grandpa Ed and friend Garrett set
out on a month-long hunting safari in two incredible places. We spent 8 days on the Rockwood
Conservation ranch with 5-star accommodations. At Rockwood, I harvested a Gemsbok, Golden
Wildebeest, Kudu, two Cape Buffalo, and a Sable. I was fortunate to watch my Grandpa Ed
complete his Big 5 in Rockwood. We then got to experience 16 days in the Tanzania bush, an
experience like no other. The accommodations were also 5-star, staying in tents on the lake
where wild animals roamed. We could hear the lions roaring and the hippos making noises at
night, which was exciting. I harvested a Zebra, Waterbuck, Impala, Hartebeest, and another
beautiful Cape Buffalo. The guides, trackers, and staff were accommodating and worked hard
to pursue my dream. I highly recommend hunting with Game Trackers Africa.

Allen and I got exactly the bull that I specified.  I never expected to shoot on the first day, but when it’s there, it’s there and you must accept your hunter’s luck.  The remainder of the trip was just as enjoyable.

Thank you for your kindnesses over the years while this trip came together.

Tanzania Selous 2022

The trip was incredible!!! It exceeded all expectations and we are already planning our next trip to the coast with a hunting portion too. Portsmut might have the best operating ranch and gamer preserve I have ever seen and we loved them. It was perfect all the way around and the place was so clean/organized. They are friends and I can not wait to see them again.

 

The accommodations we had (with a slight shift) for the safari with Frank were 5 Star all the way and were the perfect way to end the trip. Frank was a funny likeable character and so easy going. He also was a perfect guide for us, we had a blast. I honestly don’t have anything bad to say about the entire trip.

Had an amazing time with Game Trackers and the whole team in Tanzania. Magdel went to great strides to ensure everything went off without a hitch; in the middle of some of the worst COVID restrictions. Suleiman was right there when we got thru immigration and ensured baggage and weapons came thru without a hitch. My wife and I spent the first several days in Zanzibar to get acclimated to the times zone and, well, spend time in an absolutely beautiful tropical paradise. Magdel recommended the location and it was everything we hoped. We were picked up in Zanzibar and flown straight to the Utenge camp in the Selous. What an amazing, wild place. Just like every thing I’d ever read that lead me there in the 1st place. JP and the hunting team were fantastic….I had to tell the kitchen staff I just couldn’t hold any more food multiple times. Everything was well prepared and the wine, Gin&Tonics (for my wife) and Scotch were always handy.The hunting is everything you could imagine in such a wild place. As we say where I grew up, the Selous is where people that live in the middle of nowhere go to get away from it all. No permanent settlements…every animal imaginable. I can’t think of anything we didn’t see or hear. I highly recommend it. Feel free to reach out if you want any more details.

It was a great experience with great people, your Tanzania concession runs like a finely oiled machine with very friendly and professional staff. Jaco is a fantastic PH and came through for us when the chips were down, I would hunt with him anytime anywhere.

Tanzania Selous 2022

I did a 21 day premium safari in the Selous with African Gane Trackers and it was a trip of a life time. Jaco and his staff were very good about finding the animals and selecting the best one to take. Camp staff made absolute sure that you were comfy and that your stay was grand. This is complete wild africa too, which is what attracted me to the outfitter in the first place. I was able to take 2x Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Hippo, Waterbuck, Kudu, Reedbuck, Warthog, and Impala. And I already booked plains game hunt in the Massailand for my dad and I next year.

My wife, Kerri, and I just returned from a spectacular trip to Selous Reserve in Tanzania. The trip happened to be in the middle of the Covid pandemic, which made things a bit interesting logistically. Through all of the flight cancellations, travel restrictions, and schedule changes, Magdel and Jaco worked really hard to make the trip go smoothly (as did the folks at TWG). After landing in DAR, Suleiman helped us through the entry process, and we were off to Zanzibar for a few days of relaxing before flying to Selous. Now that all of the setup is out of the way, it’s time to get down to the good stuff. We landed at the airstrip in Selous, where JP and crew were waiting in the Land Cruiser. We unpacked then headed to confirm zero on the rifles. All good, so off we go. JP took great care to know our species of interest and their rank. Buffalo was the main goal, so we started searching for fresh sign. Along the way, we managed to stalk and sort through a herd of zebra, then took a beautiful stallion. A bush pig also made a chance encounter along the way. We tracked a herd of buffalo later one afternoon, then returned the next morning to track them for a few more hours before catching up to them. We had a great time sorting through all forty of them as they milled in brush. After a long look, we determined that there were no shooters in the herd – a great experience though! The old dugga boy came later that afternoon following a tense stalk and a 30 yard shot through dense brush. With the buffalo down, it was time to pursue eland. We spent the next 5 days tracking eland, and taking multiple other species along the way. Nyasa wildebeest, Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, and impala were added to the bag, all with their own unique stalks. We spent two days in the fly camp, which is a very nice fly camp. Warm showers behind the tent – nice mess hall and good hot meals to go with it. The fly camp’s location allowed us to hunt a distant part of the reserve without driving back many hours to base camp. After many multi hour pursuits of eland and a few quick glimpses, we spotted two bulls crossing a field. After a quick confirmation, we agreed on the bull in the rear. A great trophy – big horns polished smooth from the years and a big brush! Great timing too, since we were flying out at lunch the next day. In summary – an epic trip in a beautiful place teeming with wildlife. The camps and food were above all expectations, and everyone was a genuine pleasure to be around. JP was a fantastic PH, guiding us to 7 excellent trophies in 9 days of hunting. Jaco was a great host and guide. Truly a fantastic experience, my wife and I are already talking about the possibility of chasing Lord Derby in Cameroon with Game Trackers!

Thank you so mush for hosting us on a wonderful African adventure. The staff, hospitality, camp and wildlife were all first class.
I am beyond thankful that I was able to spend my first safari with my father at such a special place. Even without having been to Africa in the past, it is obvious that your operation is distinguished by a staff who love what they do; making the experience that much more pleasant.

We would like to specifically thank J.P who was an outstanding Ph and helped us to land 13 animals in only 10 days!

Cheers to our next adventure together.

Where to begin! This was my 10th safari to Africa.  As great as everything went, I can only imagine what its like without this covid debacle!!  The PH’s had to go to great lengths almost heroics just to get to camp!  I spent 34 days, 21 days in the Selous and 13 days in Masailand.  I think one of the things that impressed me  the most was how Jaco, Looman, Baraka, Thomas, Luca, Dennis & everyone else in camp genuinely respected, liked each other & were Damm good at their Jobs!!

From the mock charge by the Lion I got to all the other great trophies I harvested, memories were made that I will never forget.  From the clean camp, happy people & amazing wildlife it was great.  Who knew that some the best homemade french fires I ever ate would be in a camp in the remote African bush!!  There is a lot of good natured humor during the day, but everyone was deadly serious when need be.  I am grateful that I had Martin, a professional photographer along to help me preserve all these precious memories!!

We hunted hard from daylight to darkness, often returning late from remote locations.  Even staying in a well setup fly camp a few times to put us closer to the Lion & a couple of other animals about 40 miles from the main camp by hunting trails so about 3hrs away!! During a 7mi walk in a far off corner of their vast concession, we found waterhole/natural spring they never knew was there & Jaco named it after me on this GPS!!

I got 2 Buffalo, 2 Nyasa Wildebeest, Big Lion, Huge Warthog 15in, Southern & Eastern Impala, E.A Greater Kudu, Zebra, Lichtenstein & Coke’s Hartebeest, Lesser Kudu, Fringed Eared Oryx, Grants Gazelle, Gerenuk & White Bearded Wildebeest.

ALL trophies were older males, which is important to me, much more so than horn length or anything else!!If you are looking for a hardworking top notch outfit, LOOK NO FARTHER!!!

Magdel, Jaco, & all your great staff Thank you Again for a great Hunt & overall experience!!I could go on & on about this trip like the Masai digging for water in the dry Lion river, but hell, come see for yourself……

You won’t regret it.

What a surprise to have won the bid on a cape buffalo/leopard hunt at DSC 2015! Now, to make all the arrangements for our hunt with Game Trackers Africa and get airline tickets, etc.. We learn that our hunt must take place in August, 2016 and we start planning, what a long wait, but worth every minute. My grandson, Austin Todd, from Cody, Wyoming accompanied me on this hunt to the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania. During this 14 day hunt, we took Leopard, Nyasa Wildebeest, Cape Buffalo, Spotted Hyena, Bohme’s Zebra, Impala, Olive Baboon, Lichtenstein Hartebeast, Warthog, Hippo and Crocodile. All of our animals were mature males with the Cape Buffalo, Spotted Hyena, Warthog, Hippo and Crocodile all being exceptionally old members of their species. I used my Remington 700 safari grade in 375 RUM with 300 grain Swift A-Frames with great success.

Camp life at Game Trackers Africa is hardly roughing it, with new tents with ensuite showers and private bathroom, a beautiful thatched roof dining hall with sitting area just by the lakeside where you listen to the hippos grunting and bellowing, a distant lion’s roar and hyenas laughing it up in the twilight hours, a more peaceful place is hard to imagine. Then, just as you are sound asleep, a bushbaby has to announce to the world that all is well with his tree! No problem, you are in real Africa, the way it has been since time began and you are glad to be there.

Hayden was our PH and is very knowledgeable about all aspects of hunting and I was especially impressed with Hayden’s ability to judge an animal accurately at a glance, sometimes just by looking at their tracks! After we had most of our wishlist in the salt, we toured the local village, which turned out to be one of our favorite days as we mingled with the locals and enjoyed a warm beer while watching the boys with their homemade trucks playing on the dirt street. What an eye opener for my grandson, who has never lived without electricity, Austin said that he’ll never look at the world in the same way again. The local people were so friendly and glad to see us.

I want to thank Jaco and Magdel Oosthuizen for giving us this opportunity to share their part of the world and for their most generous donation to DSC and game conservation. I highly recommend Game Trackers Africa and know that they will take great care of you on your next safari.

My Son and I have been hunting internationally in North America; however, this was the first time we decided to go as far as AFRICA. We spent 3 weeks hunting with Jaco, Hayden and JP in the Selous game reserve area at central-east Tanzania. This was really wild Africa ! Accommodations and logistics where excellent, great food and ambience at our base camp near a lake full of Hippos and Crocs. We started every morning at 5:30 am and came back after 7 pm. We hunted in total 30 animals including 2 Leopards, 5 Buffalos and a bunch of plains game. Regardless the number of trophy’s we are bringing back home, the best part of this adventure is all the memories that stayed in our minds. It is very impressive to notice all the different emotions a Human Being can have in just 3 weeks. Going from high adrenaline happiness to fear…frustration and then back to satisfaction and happiness, you name it. It is something to remember for the rest of our lives !! I will like to share one of those high adrenaline moments: It was the 14th day and a Lion hit a Leopard bait and appeared on the trail camera, looks big ! Jaco and I sat that afternoon in the blind and just with fast fading daylight, the great Lion appeared at 35 meters from the blind. I immediately point the gun to the target and took the safety off waiting for the magic word: “shoot” ; but, the word was never pronounced by my PH. After a high peak of adrenaline, I was totally frustrated !! However, Jaco explained to me he had no efficient time and daylight to evaluate the age of the Lion and due to the regulations there was a high risk involve for Him and Me to kill that Lion. Unfortunately, the next day and for the rest of the Safari not this or other Lion hit any bait. I am taking back home the memory of that great moment and two nice trail camera photos that will decor my trophy room. In retrospective, I recognize that although I would have liked to kill that Lion, I respect Jaco´s decision, He demonstrated to be a great hunter taking care of the regulations and making responsible decisions during the Safari. In summary, My Son and I had the best hunting experience of our lives that we can share to friends and family thanks to the video we are getting back home. Definitively, we will never forget this first African Safari and will like to come back for another hunting adventure with our friends of Game Trackers Africa.

Thank you

Jaco & Magdel,
Just returned home after a wonderful Safari in the Selous. It was everything we were promised and more. We really enjoyed the camp by the lake even if the hippos were noisy neighbours! Joe and I hunted with Clint and we had a great experience with him. Clint was a true professional and very informative about all the flora,fauna etc. He is a great asset to Gametrackers Africa in my opinion.

Tom and George hunted with Dillon and had only good things to say about him. All in all a very enjoyable experience. We all agreed we would definitely hunt with Gametrackers Africa again and recommend you to any of our buddies.

Thank you

I awoke well before sunrise. As I looked up at the moon and stars through my mosquito netting, I consciously repressed the anxiety that this was traveling day back to the States. Almost 40 hours of either being in an airport or on an airplane awaited me. No, instead I tried to soak in the sounds and feelings of being in Africa. As I listened to hippos and hyenas and looked at the starlit sky, I felt grateful to be able to experience such an adventure.

My adventure began almost by accident. I had been in Reno at the SCI show in January 2009 and did not have any real intentions of booking a hunt in Africa. I had just returned from South Africa in September 2008 and was looking at South America as my next adventure. Anyone who has attended the SCI Reno show knows it is draining to try and see it all. So, myself and my hunting buddy decided to take a load off, have a beer and sit in on a day auction. Bidding was a little slow that day and I impulsively bid on a Cape Buffalo hunt with Jaco Oosthuizen of Ondjamba Safaris – Game Trackers Africa, never expecting my bid to hold up. Two minutes later, I was the proud owner of a Tanzanian Cape Buffalo hunt. Much to my surprise I found that Jaco was the Dallas Safari Club Outfitter of the Year in 2008. I am normally very cautious when booking hunts and do background checks on outfitters before booking, but as I was later to find out, I could not have picked a better outfitter.

My trip goals increased over the next few months to include not only two Cape Buffalo, but also the possibility of either a lion or leopard. I am not going to bore you with my discussions concerning weapons or bullet ballistics because I do not have any expertise in those areas. I am primarily a bow hunter. Likewise, I am no expert on scoring trophy animals, so I won’t try to impress you in that area either. But I do consider myself well traveled and a good judge of how well a camp is run, and in that arena Jaco is top notch.

The accompanying pictures speak for themselves in regards to quality of game. Furthermore, my trophies were the result of a team effort. The support team – both hunting and non-hunting was impressive. The hunting support team is just as happy as the hunter and PH when an animal is taken. The hunter is just the trigger man.

Even now, months later, when I find myself reflecting on my adventure, looking at the photographs, I cannot help but feel a sense of contentment. I go on adventures, not just hunting or fishing trips, and Jaco’s Ondjamba Safaris – Game Trackers Africa was a trip rich with adventure.

The top two photos are from Borakalalo Reserve of trophies taken by Wade Watson, the bottom two were taken by son, Travis in Botsalano. All of our hunts consisted of a lot of spotting and then stalking to get within range of the Game. We had a very late evening stalk on the Waterbuck and the Eland we trailed for about 2 kilometers before we could get a running shot at him. Same with the Red Hartebeest, a whole lot of walking to get within 100 yards for a good shot. The Impala was not too bad as we were able to judge him to be SCI quality and shoot pretty quick. After a measurement by our PH, we determined that the Eland scores 16 inches over the SCI minimum, and once officially measured, could possible make the Rowland Ward book as well. Beginners luck I guess. The hunt, the food and accommodations were great. We “roughed it” a little and that’s how my son and I like to hunt. Hopefully things will level out in the world economy and we will be able to do it again as I have an 8 year old and a 6 year old that I think would love the experience one day of Hunting Africa. It was an absolutely wonderful experience despite the 40 hours of flight time, but I guess it beats going by boat. Steyn Potgieter our PH was very selective and asked us to pass on several animals because he felt we could do much better and every time we waited we ended up with a better trophy. Jaco, your people did a great job of taking care of us and we plan on another trip someday.

January 2008, J.D. Mason and myself booked a hunt with Jaco Oosthuizen of Ondjamba Safaris – Game Trackers Africa for a July 2009 hunt in Tanzania. Late in 2008, J.D., employed by Chevron, received a new job assignment which interfered with the Tanzanian hunt. At the Dallas Safari Club convention in January of this year, we asked Jaco if we could change the date to 2010 which Jaco did. J.D. then asked Jaco if he had any hunts that were available for June of this year; Jaco replied that he had some plains game hunting in South Africa which also consisted of 2 buffalo. Now, buffalo hunting is my passion and I have had all the hard luck possible on their pursuit! In 5 previous safaris to Zimbabwe and Tanzania with buffalo as the primary animal, I have just managed to get shots at, and kill, 2 buffalo so I was ready to try my luck in South Africa. We arrived in Joberg June 1 and traveled to Jaco’s safari camp in Borakalalo National Park and started hunting Tuesday, June 2. J.D. was hunting with Jaco and I was hunting with Eugene Visagie, a very fine and personable PH. The area consisted of mountains, lake, river and savannah. The park rangers said the buffalo usually hung out in the mountains and this is where we started our hunt. We had extremely cold weather, drizzle, overcast and constant variable winds. The mountains were covered with football sized boulders, lots of trees and underbrush, high grass and dry leaves which made silent walking impossible. However on Wednesday, Jaco and J.D. bumped into a herd of buffalo while the wind was in their favor and after an hour’s watch and stalk, J.D. took a very fine dugga boy with extremely heavy bosses. Eugene and I kept bumping buffalo which ran away in the brush before we could see them. We persisted all week, daylight to dark without getting a look at even one buff – consistent with my past hunts. However on Saturday while driving to a starting place, the sun had come up on a cloudless day and we saw a reflection of water which we did not know was there. We got out and checked a small spring with a slight 100 yard run-off and Wickson, Jaco’s head tracker picked up the tracks of 2 big bulls; we took up their track and after a couple of hours of following their erratic trail, Wickson suddenly froze, Eugene threw out the sticks and hollered “Shoot the front one!”. The bulls had already broke and were running full speed across our front. I just got a glimpse of a railroad tank-car sized animal running between 2 trees and behind some brush, threw up my .375 and fired a quick shot without even getting my face on the stock to see through the scope. I knew better than to shoot at a running unwounded buffalo but did it out of reflex in the heat of the moment. Eugene asked me if I hit him and told him no that I was sure I had shot over him due to the brush and hurried shot. We then took up the track again which proved very difficult due to the terrain, but Wickston persisted and an hour later, Eugene found a drop of blood and a few more after a hundred yards or so. Tracking was still very slow and difficult due to just a drop every now and then. The buffalo had also turned and started uphill. Eugene then called Jaco on the radio and he, J.D., and their game scout came and helped us track. We eventually lost the track, just scattered out and tried to jump the two old boys, but dark came without finding them. We went back to the spring the next morning to see if they had watered during the night and they had not. We looked until noon with no sign of the bulls and had to break camp and move on the next hunt for plains game. Jaco had one kudu permit which J.D. successfully filled with a huge 57 1/2″ bull two days before he got the buffalo. We each took very good black wildebeest, red hartebeest, springbok, and blesbok, and J.D. also took a very fine gemsbok to complete our hunt. We then returned home to the US. On June 23, I was checking our computer for emails and had one from Jaco. He wrote that the parks board had insisted he track and kill the wounded buffalo before some visitor could get hurt. Jaco was in Tanzania but arranged for Steyn, a fellow PH, Jaco Jnr. and Wickson to go to the park in order to lacate this wounded buffalo. No easy task awaiting them. After quite a search, the bulls were spotted, basically stumbled upon, but the two old bulls which returned to the top of the mountain, had other plans. They were not going to hang around, not with the smell of gunpowder and muzzle blast fresh in the memory. Steyn and the guys took up their trail and the two bulls ran down the mountain, went kind of crazy, ran back up the mountain, and down again. They then crossed a large savannah, a couple of miles later, crossed the river, and while racing across a smaller savannah, the wounded bull came to a stand still, and then just dropped dead! They discovered that the 300 grain Swift A-frame had gone beneath the heart and apparently disintegrated (I think the bullet was probably deflected by the heavy brush before hitting the buffalo). Wickson caped the bull and to my delight, has him in the salt!! So now I get credit for a one shot kill which took 2 weeks to take effect!! I hope to take many more buffalo, my passion, but I doubt I will ever have another hunt end as this one did.

We look forward to the SCI show every year and while attending the 2008 conference in Reno, Nevada my husband and his brother decided to purchase the eight day Nyala hunt in South Africa up for auction by Ondjamba Safaris. That meant that the four of us, my sister-in-law included, would all be traveling to Africa for a second time to hunt with Jaco Oosthuizen. At some point the men decided to upgrade this hunt to a full scale safari of the bush and extended our time to 12 full days of hunting! If we were going to be gone this long, unlike the week we spent with Jaco in Tanzania, this time, my sister-in-law and I would be prepared, no longer willing to watch and observe if we felt up to the challenge of pursuing a worthy trophy. We found out on our first day, there is no shortage of those in South Africa.

Our two weeks in South Africa was nothing short of amazing as we visited a sprawling privately owned ranch and the prime hunting grounds in two national parks, Bostolano and Borokalalu. We each had our moments in the sun and days when it seemed like disappointment rained down on us mercilessly. It was one of those rare experiences where every member of the group left feeling like it was the perfect trip, like there was nothing else that could have gone better and all the set backs that came on certain hunts just made the triumphs that much sweeter. During our twelve days of hunting there was not one day that went by where one of us did not take a marvelous trophy. Once my sister-in-law and I got a taste of the challenges of hunting, well, there was no stopping us. We started with game such as Impala and Blesbuck and by the end had taken Zebra, Gemsbuck, Waterbuck, Blue Wildebeest and Springbok. The men had brilliant hunts as well, starting out with Black Wildebeest, Red Hartebeest, Watrhog, Gemsbuck, Kudu, Eland, and yes, at the very end, when we all secretly thought it may not happen this trip, took their Nyala in those precious last few days.

Ondjamba Safaris has allowed us as a family to experience Africa in a very intense and personal way. We are so thankful for the professionalism of this company, the level of service we received day to day to ensure our needs were met, and the level of experience Jaco brings to his hunts. I think I speak for all us when I say there is not a day that goes by that we don’t drift back to memories of those two weeks.
