PH Comment - Dean Kendall

We had a great hunt basically following dugga boys in the northern villages. Got a fantastic bull 45-55) on day 4. Shot a very nice bushbuck, and impala, zebra in the fields up north. Got a fantastic old kudu bull in the Manzatanda River. Very good hog sighted too, but no chance. Food was great, camp staff very polite and courteous.

Client Comment

This was my first safari, so did not know what to expect. Everything was made so easy by you guys. From the time we landed to the time we got to Pedza Camp was flawless. The accommodations at camp were great and comfortable. The food was fantastic as was being able to request meals from our animals. The hunt was fun and difficult, which I appreciated. We chased buffalo herds and dagga boys until having success on day 4. For plains game we had a consistent success targeting river water holes, and connected on impala, bushbuck and kudu. We had a great stalk on a zebra with success. Dean was a fantastic PH and put me in the position where I just had to make my shots. You can’t ask for any more out of a PH. His knowledge of the area and animals is unrivaled, and I owe much of the success we had to him. Thank you for a great two weeks in the bush, for me it was a trip of a lifetime!
