Nestled in the hills on the boundary of the Transkei, between the Great Kei and Kubusi Rivers, lies an area few have ever heard of, and even fewer have hunted making it ideal for this Kudu Hunt. For generations, it has been the secret of the locals who have safe-guarded this little known region to the outside world. Over the years Kudu numbers rose and what at first was seen as a rarity soon flourished into a stable Kudu population over the past two decades.
The lay of the land, characterized by heavy wooded gorges and valleys, with limited access saw a Kudu quality develop as few have ever seen. Kudu living in the back valleys with little to zero human contact experienced an explosion in the population that saw the landowners, the ultimate custodians of the wildlife, find old remains of massive bulls and old cows who had died of old age on a more regular basis. It was time for the landowners to step in and start managing the population.
Our old friend, Uncle Dennis Charleton, an avid Gunwerks and John X Safaris supporter over the years, he once again joined us on safari for this exclusive opportunity. Uncle Dennis hunted a few spectacular animals along the way as well as two big Kudu bulls, the first being a great old brute heavy from the base to the tip and the second could be one of the most spectacular bulls ever hunted. The area and the hunt combining both the Kei and Woodlands Safari Estate made for special viewing and hunting…. enjoy the hunt and you’ll understand why we’ve fallen in love with this little known region.
