Fast Leopard, Slow Gemsbok

The Minnesota SCI Expo is always a great place to discover awesome hunts. At a past Expo, I met Makadi Safaris and booked the hunt of a life-time. Based in Namibia, they are known for great leopard and plains game.

Ron & Mary Simon

On August 17, 2015, we (Mary & Ron Simon) took off on a wonderful African adventure to Namibia. With any three week trip, there are unknowns and trepidation as to how it will all go and we had those feelings with this trip. The good news was, all concerns were removed as we meet first Hugo and Willa and then Julika.

“We’re so sad to leave! Our week with you was truly a magical experience. The beauty of the camps, Ilala in its grandeur and Makadi with its game rich plains and bushveld. But most of all Nancy and I will miss the warmth of your friendship and the fun and laughter we shared. Making memories was the best!”

Dr. Ed Belknap


“Wow! Bucket list #1 has been fulfilled! Awesome! I will be back for a dedicated bow hunt. The service here was excellent and I take my hat off to my PH. 10 days was a lot of personal time and experiences and stories and jokes. I will have lots of memories and now I need to go buy a new house so I can find a place for all of my trophies. Thank you!”
