Phillip and Jess are certainly part of the family. This energetic young couple have been big supporters of John X Safaris for years and we were delighted to host them back for another unforgettable safari. They rose to the challenge of bow hunting on foot as well as harvesting some great animals with a rifle.
Very few hunters actually commit to bow hunting a Cape Buffalo on foot, but Phillip held his nerve after many failed stalks over multiple days to make a perfect heart shot that saw the bull go down with a single arrow! Jess not to be outdone harvested a magnificent old Zebra stallion on foot in the thick brush making a great shot.
This safari took us through the thick brush on Woodlands after Buffalo to the deep canyons along the Great Kei River to harvest a monster Kudu and Zebra then back to the coast after Nyala and Giraffe.
PH Stix and Tracker MK together with Phillip and Jessica enjoyed what the East Cape had to offer on a 10 day safari of epic proportions.
