I would highly recommend Makadi Safaris. I would gladly hunt again with them. They primarily offer Ranch hunting but have other concessions for Leopard, Buffalo and Elephant.

The ranch has large numbers of free roaming game and a large enclosure >2,000 acres for the more unusual game. I didn't hunt the fenced area as I preferred to walk or hunt from the high stands. I took a 60" Kudu and saw larger afterwards and a Cape Hartbeast that ranked #13 in the Safari Club records. I had opportunities to shoot springbok that also would have placed in the record book. I shot the wrong 2 and each was just a hair shy of a record. I would go for at least 10 days as it is possible to shoot 3 head of game a day. My only regret is I didn't have more money for trophy fees as this would have allowed taking multiples of the same species.

Jack and Eleanore O'Connor hunted with Makadi in I believe the 1960's. I really enjoyed hearing the stories about them.
