Final tally: (1) Kudo bull, (1) Zebra dry mare, (1) Gemsbuck bull, (1) Impala ram, and (1) Springbuck ram. All mature representive trophies, no tape measures for me, although Brian states the Gemsbuck is a very good animal for this area. All taken spot and stalk on foot, the Kudo and Gemsbuck in particular left me exhausted and headed to bed early after dinner. Couple of quick observations: Two Water Safaris is a family operated venture, focused on fair chase, and a quality and challenging hunting experience, there were no gimmees. The food, accomodations, and comraderie have been exceptional. Brian and Cheryl Seady run a qulaity, small, intimate operation. My wife and I highly recommend you try them. We've already booked for next May Charlie Last edited by chas05; 09/23/15. Reason: eta now off to Addo and the Garden Route
