Linus and Jonas have arrived safely in Dar es Salaam and been greeted by the outfitter. And they are enjoying the night at Sea Cliff Hotel with a spectacular view over the Indian Ocean. Linus and Jonas are ready to experience the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania with PH Peter Dafner and as we all know offend now we go on safari is expectation very high - Selous Game Reserve is all about e kwhunting

After Linus’ first close encounter with a buffalo herd with at least one good bull, after a long stalk, part of it on hands and knees, he had to realize that he was not fast enough on the trigger. The bull was broadside in a very favourable position, but once you expose yourself to the many watchful eyes in the herd, you have very little time to find your target and squeeze off the shot. kwglobal

The Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania is an outstanding wilderness with a lot to offer to the discerning hunter. Success is highly dependent on the skills of the whole team, trackers the professional hunter whose deep knowledge of the behaviour of the quarry allows him to bring the hunter client to a successful finale. To Linus, who is on his first big game safari in East Africa, the day offered all

Jonas is after a buffalo again. The trackers have found a new herd and now the hunters must use the cover and the wind to their advantage in order to get within shooting range. They move rapidly forward but try to present as low a profile as possible. When the animals become aware of the movements of the hunters, Peter tries to calm them by uttering his buffalo call.

Jonas is hunting buffalo again. The stalk is on, but it is difficult to see the animals in the dense vegetation. The trackers, however, know their trade, and expertly guide the group, following what appears to Jonas to be invisible tracks. These guys really are masters of their environment. There is not much wind and the temperature is rising steadily.

Jonas got his fine Lichtenstein’s hartebeest bull after a long and difficult stalk. Another exciting hunt in the Selous Game Reserve has ended. For the two hunters on their first East African Safari it has been an adventurous day with lots of animal sightings. Eventually, they got both a hyena and a hartebeest in the bag.
