Bob Kolowith & Jerry Bloom - South Africa Trip

Bob Kolowith & Jerry Bloom - South Africa Trip

Bob Kolowith and fellow Club member Jerry Bloom visited South Africa from June 27, 2007 to July 9, 2007, combining both wildlife photography and plains game hunting safari. With its vast system of national parks, wildlife reserves and private game farms, South Africa provides a great opportunity to encounter one of the most diverse large mammal populations in all of Africa. Mbabala Safari offered a unique opportunity for 1 on 1 spot and stalk photography with the Professional Hunter (PH) leading the stalk and providing rifle backup, if necessary.

Bob and Jerry travelled to Mbabala Safari concessions in both the Northern and

Eastern Cape Provinces,

travelling over 1500 miles in South Africa by vehicle and light plane. The Northern Province concession was adjacent to the Limpopo River near the town of Ellistras in thornbush country. The dense, dry cover made still photography difficult; however, the greatest photo opportunities in the Northern

Province were captured with a high power camcorder. While they were in the Northern Province, Jerry harvested a great Kudu and warthog. Bob harvested a trophy impala between close encounters with Cape buffalo and a South African Spitting cobra.

The two large Eastern Cape Province concessions totaled over 150,000 acres near the town of Aliwal North in high desert and mountain country. This region was well suited for spot and stalk photography. It was also a good hunting area and Bob harvested a nyala, eland, gemsbok, Blue wildebeest and a springbok in the Eastern Cape. Jerry harvested a gemsbok, impala and bontebok. Bob produced two videos to document the wildlife photography and hunts. The trip videos were presented at the Club's General Meeting in December 2009 - an excellent presentation!
