Once again let me express my sincere thanks and those of the rest of the fam-ily for creating some life-time memories on a first class safari!

Dr. Alan W Maki SCI Conservation Committee Chairman & Corporate Secretary

In the book “Horn of the Hunter” Ruark shares those thoughts and feelings some of us are lucky enough to experience when moments of “intensity” arise while hunting. My own “luck” and wonderful experiences in South Africa and

Tanzania happened solely because of your extraordinary skills.

You are a Professional Hunter’s Professional.Please know that I am your friend for life.

“Captain” Richard BurrisTucson, Arizona

You always exemplify the upmost reverence and respect for the animals we harvest. You are a leader in the hunting industry and great steward of the

lands.

Gary D. MeadeHouston, Tx

Graham Sales Safaris is proud to announce that we have been awarded the exclusive hunting rights by MTPA (Mpumalanga

Tourist and Parks Agency) for 2018, 2019 and 2020 onSouth Africa’s largest Provincial Nature Reserve

(no hunting occurred on both Reserves for a period of 6 years – 2011 till 2016)

The Reserve is the largest provincial reserve in South Africa and forms part of the Songimvelo-Malolotja TransfrontierConservation Area, a peace park located south of Barberton in the south-eastern part of the Mpumalanga Province on the South African-Swaziland border.

The incredible beauty of its range of mountains, which forms one of the oldest regions on Earth, with incredible volcanic and sedimentary rocks, examples of which are exceeded only by those found in Greenland. Rolling hills, hidden valleys, wide open plains and forest ravines support an incredible diversity of wildlife, plants and habitats. Along the valley floor winds the Komati River, after which it flows into Swaziland and to the Indian Ocean.

The grassy plains of Songimvelo Nature Reserve are home to herds Buffalo, Blesbok, Blue Wildebeest, Eland, Impala, Red Hartebeest and Zebra whilst within the wooded and hillside areas one will find Giraffe, Kudu, Mountain reedbuck and Elephant. There are also numbers of White Rhino on the Reserve.

The reserve is privately managed and owned since 1974 by a family who are passionate for wild Africa and its wildlife and who are pioneers in the South African conservation industry. The reserve is in excess of 125 000 acres of continuous wild Africa which is home to four of Africa’s Big 5 (Buffalo, Elephant, Leopard and White Rhino) and it is carefully managed to ensure that the reserve maintains its natural ecological integrity..With Mopane and Acacia shrub, huge mountains, massive Baobab trees, dry riverbeds and some open plains areas and with more than 8 000 head of African game this is without a doubt one of Southern Africa’s prime conservation areas. Our luxurious camp is designed for privacy and comprises of 5 double rooms , all with on suite bathrooms, electricity and all necessary amenities. Our guests will enjoy 5 star cuisine either in the central dining area or around the campfire at night. Our camp also offers a beautifully appointed open lounge area where one can relax after a hard days hunting(wi fi available)We also offer exceptional bow hunting with permanent bow blinds that are large enough to hold up to 5 people. Blinds are strategically built at watering holes with shooting distances that range between 5-25 yards.

Located inside the Bloubank Conservancy on the foothills of theDrakensberg Mountains and about an hour’s drive from the KrugerNational Park boundary. This area is known for exceptional Nyalahunting and is perfectly located to combine hunting with somephotographic and sightseeing activities for our non-hunting clients. Our traditional tented Safari camp can host 10 guests and rooms have double beds are all on suite with hot and cold running water. After a hard days hunting clients can enjoy drinks around the warm campfire or at the fireplace in our lounge area before having a warm hearty meal prepared by Alfred or Chef. The non-hunters can enjoy thespectacular views of the Blyde River canyon as well as visit places like: God’s Window, The Potholes, Elephant Whispers (Elephant rides) Cheetah Project, Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre, Hot Air Ballooning, Sunset Boat Cruise, Hoedspruit Endangered SpeciesCentre or the animal rehabilitation center of which all is withinreasonable driving distance from the hunting area. Here the huntingis best from June onwards.

The conservancy is in excess of 18 000 acres in the majestic Limpopo Province close to the little station town of Mopane. The Brakrivier Conservancy is known for Mopane bushveld, lots of huge Baobab trees and a few rocky outcrops and with the Brak river that runs right through the property it all adds to excellent hunting and to the uniqueness of this area. Our camp offers breathtaking views of the Soutpansberg mountains and surrounding areas as it located on top of the highest point on theConservancy. The open dining area offers a view over a watering hole that has frequent visitors. All rooms have on suitebathrooms and all amenities.After a hard days hunting clients will enjoy cocktails around the campfire and under the bright African sky before enjoying5 start cuisine prepared by Alfred our chef.

Greater Balepye Nature Reserve (BNR) is located near the small town of Gravelotte – and is the land of the Balepye Ba gaMaenetja Community, the rain makers. The Reserve is based on the conservancy principle, a joint venture between Balepye community and private business owners which is designated land for the preservation of natural resources, including gamespecies. This initiative, sustainable safari hunting and the local community’s involvement goes hand in hand in making this a project a huge success. The Greater Balepye Nature Reserve is a 40 000 acre wilderness conservation area of unparalleled beauty where animals such as Leopard, Buffalo, Sable, Hippo and Crocodile still roam free amongst majestic Mopani and Leadwood trees. TheSherhombe-Rhombe Rivier form a huge part in the eco system of the reserve feeding two lakes and sprawling into a serene riverine habitat fringed by Lala palms and giant Jackal berry trees.Our “stone under thatch” Safari camp is located on a rocky outcrop under huge Nyala berry and Mopane trees. The camp has4 airconditioned double rooms with all amenities and is built between the huge boulders that is prevalent in this area. The beautiful campfire area overlooks a small waterhole which attracts numerous small game species which adds to the uniqueness of our camp.Sought after species are Cape Buffalo, Sable and Roan antelope, Nyala and the following plains game species: Baboon,Blue Wildebeest, Bushbuck, Eland, Giraffe, Grey Duiker, Impala, Klipspringer, Southern Greater Kudu, Steenbok,Waterbuck and Zebra.

(Timbavati & Klaserie Private Nature Reserves)

The Associated Private Nature Reserves is an association of privately owned nature reserves (Tim-bavati & Klaserie Private Nature Reserves)bordering on the Kruger National Park, collectively they represent 444 789 acres of land dedicated to conservation. In June 1993, in recognition of the importance of the area, the fences between the Kruger National Park and the APNR were removed to encourage natural wildlife migration.

Man’s incursions into this part of the Lowveld have always been temporary and brief, from early Stone Age down to the early 20th century. In point of fact, large tracts of land in the northern por-tion of the Lowveld were never permanently settled by man. The lands now comprising the APNR were barely touched, and are still only lightly inhabited.

This part of South Africa’s bushveld region may therefore be regarded as truly unspoiled and deserves recognition as genuine wild land, as opposed to the “restored” and “restocked” lands commonly found elsewhere.

The terrain is undulating with altitudes varying between 980ft and 1640ft above sea level. The area is characterized as ‘savanna bushveld’ with 6 different landscape types, the most prevalent being acacia and open woodland with Mopani scrub in the northern parts. With natural watering holes and riverbeds in combination with the favorable terrain it is the perfect habitat that attracts a huge variety of game that includes Elephant, White and Black Rhino, Buffalo, Zebra, Blue Wilde-beest, Kudu Impala, Giraffe, Waterbuck, Warthog and some smaller antelope. These in turn attract a number of predators, such as Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wild Dogs and Hyena, which makes this a popular choice for a ‘real’ African wildlife experience.

In essence Savanna is classified as a vegetation type consisting of both a tree and grass layer with complex interactions between these two structural layers.

Graham Sales Safaris offers exceptional hunting in the Klaserie and Timbavati Private Nature Reserves. Clients will experience a total free range hunt with a classic African tented camp in the Timbavati and thatched Safari camp in the Klaserie. It is definitely one of the best and premier dangerous game hunting concessions in Africa today where one can see numerous Elephant and around 2,000 - 3,000 Buffalo in a seven day hunt. THE FOLLOWING SPECIES ARE AVAILABLE ON QUOTA IN THE APNR.Buffalo Bulls Bulls are categorized for management and conservation purposes. Please contact us for details. Buffalo Cows Only old cows older than 10 years of age may be huntedElephant Bulls are categorized as follow for management purposes 30lb Bull (tusk weight per side) 40lb Bull (tusk weight per side)Lion Only male lions of 6 years and older may be hunted.Leopard Only adult male leopard may be hunted.White Rhino Only adult bulls may be hunted.Hippo It is recommended that only adult or past-prime hippo bulls be considered for hunting.

Please contact our offices for a detailed quotation on hunting any of the above-mentioned species in the APNR. Please note that permits are allocated 18-24 months in advance.

We hunt 988 000 acres in pristine wilderness in the Niassa province – North- western Mozambique. The area issituated north of the small town, Marrupa and south of Block C – Niassa Reserve. The concession is flanked on the left by the Ruambeze and on the west by Lureco rivers. The main habitat is Miombo woodland with some open Savannah areas, seasonal wetlands and riverine forests along the many water courses, rivers and streams. Thelandscape is scattered with spectacular rock formations and mountains, many of them have thickets of montaneforest growing in the narrow gullies that extend up the smooth – sided rock faces. The magnificent scenerycombined with the vastness of the area, abundance of game and pristine nature makes this without a doubt onof Africa’s last great wilderness areas.

Our Marangira area is home to prolific wildlife, including Elephants and more than 60 of the criticallyendangered African Wild Dog, Leopard in abundance, Lions and Hyenas are common with big numbers of Buffalo, Roosevelt Sable, Lichtenstein Hartebeest and Livingstone Eland including three endemic species,Boehm’s Zebra, Johnston’s Impala and Niassa Wildebest. “Personally I cannot believe or it will be hard to imagine an area with a higher population of Leopard, Roosevelt Sable, Buffalo and Livingstone Eland than this specific block”. In general, exceptional trophy quality goes hand in hand with high populations of game.

The hunting season starts in June and ends in November – personally we prefer the months towards the end of the season (September / October / November) for the following reasons; most of the tall grass has been burnt and new fresh grass is coming out which not only attracts game but one’s visibility is much better; the area does have a lot of water but some temporary watering holes have dried up so game is more concentrated.

Graham Sales Safaris – Marangira – Northern Mozambique - It’s not far-fetched to state that northern Mozambique may become the most sought after safari destination in Africa -

Marangira Main Camp offers 5 luxury safari tents with ensuite bathrooms with

hot & cold running water

LOGISTICS:

On the international flight one will arrive in Johannesburg from where one can take a connecting flight to Pemba in Mozambique.

From Pemba one will take a private charter flight straight to Marangira that leaves one with a 40 minute drive to hunting camp.

One can also take a connecting flight to Lichinga from where it is a 3 hourdrive to camp.

TYPICAL HUNTING DAY

We always wake up very early each morning, have a preferred breakfast and leave camp before sunrise.

If Leopard is the priority specie, I strongly believe that one should focus on Leopard only. One will shoot baitanimals while looking for new bait locations while checking existing baits. Once one is successful on the Leopard one can start to focus on Buffalo and all other species. (I’m not saying we will not take a desired trophy animal if the opportunity present itself but one has to focus on Leopard before one goes looking for some other specie and the Leopard hunt does not get the necessary attention that it requires)

If Leopard is not the preferred or priority specie one will look for fresh Buffalo or Eland tracks to follow, most other plains game species are being spot from the back of the hunting vehicle from where a stalk is planned. (One might spend a few nights in one of our fly camps all depending on the desired specie)

We will have a packed lunch with us and will take some time during mid - day to have a meal and relax down in a riverbed or somewhere in the shade.

After lunch we will carry on hunting and slowly work our way back to camp. Due to the size of the area we usually get back to camp after sunset.

Back in camp one will take a hot shower, change into comfortable clothes and relax around the campfire, before having a warm dinner and a good night’s rest.

The Savé Valley Conservancy is one of the largest private game reserves in Africa. Located in the South Eastern lowveld of Zimbabwe, bordering on the Save River on its eastern side, the Conservancy comprises an area in excess of 750,000 acres and is home to four of Africa’s Big 5. The Save Valley Conservancy has a vast and varied natural landscape, from Mopane brush, Mountains, rocky outcrops, dry riverbeds, open plains and the mighty Save River which attracts Buffalo, Elephant and various plains game species. Due to the healthy Buffalo and plains game in the Conservancy these in turn attracts Africa’s big Cats, Lion and Leopard which makes this a prime destination for an African Safari.

The Luangwa Valley is one of Africa’s prime wildlife sanctuaries, with concentrations and varieties of game andbirdlife that have made it world famous. The Luangwa Valley lies at the tail end of the Great Rift Valley as the Rift reaches Zambia, it divides; one arm to the east encompasses Lake Malawi and the western arm becomes the Luangwa Valley. Down the center of the valley flows the Luangwa River, fed by dozens of sand rivers that come down during the rainy season.The countryside is spectacular in its rugged beauty, the vegetation thick and, near the Luangwa River and its many tributaries, a lush riverine forest occurs that is green all year round. Flanking the rivers western banks are the North and South Luangwa National Parks separated by the 30km Munyamadzi corridor. To the east, between the two main parks is another Park called Luambe. The development of game protection in the area began in the late 19th century when the British South AfricaCompany was administering the territory and they imposed a total ban on the hunting of hippo and elephant in the area - Today there is an over-abundance of hippos along the Luangwa River.We hunt predominantly in the Luangwa Valley, the block lies between the North and South LuangwaNational Parks.
