A successful dangerous game hunt starts with dry runs on the shooting range. Making sure everyone knows what to do, all the when's and where's. Clear communication between guide and client and finally making the perfect shot.
All this will surely lead you down the path of a successful buffalo hunt!

Being on safari in South Africa is a lot more than just the hero shots that make it to socials.

Everything revolves around our base camp and hunting trucks taking everyone in and out of their hunting area.

We enjoy the whole process, from planning the day ahead, to the excitement once everyone loads up and goes out for the morning and then when we all meet again at the skinning shed to see what the bush offered us today.

We are grateful to call this work and this place home.

As a company and guiding team we have moved away from the traditional shooting sticks that is synonymous with hunting in the bush of Africa. For our plains game guiding we almost exclusively use carbon tripods with a small bag ontop of it. The stability is non-comparable and we are regularly make mid distance shots that we would never have considered from the shooting sticks.
We spend a extra few minutes on the RSS shooting range with the clients, going through height of the tripod, work flow and communication during those last few seconds before you press the trigger. With modern carbon tripods you can actually control the wobble zone to a certain degree where with shooting sticks you actually muscle the rifle to get that reticle to stop moving.

What we noticed over that last few seasons is that making a accurate 250-300 yard shot from a stable position is a better recipe for success compared to making a fast shot off the sticks from 80 yards. The big difference is TIME. Usually at longer distances the animals have no idea of the hunting party, that gives the hunter and guiding team time to discuss a proper plan, calm some nerves, discuss trophy quality and angle of the shot, breathe and go through a non rushed trigger sequence.

Our terrain does not always allow for a prone shot and if you have a trip planned to Africa in the near future, make sure you practice shooting standing from a tripod!

It's a guide thing.

It's not always beers around the campfire, sitting on the back of the truck kinda lifestyle.

The guiding team works extremely hard before and after the shot, finding animals and then getting them back after they have been shot. Would not trade it for any other job in the world.

When the wife's outshow the husband's on safari. Absolutely loved guiding these ladies on our last safari, they never skipped a session and made some epic shots.

With that our 2024 season is officially done.

Thank you to everyone who had a part to play in making this hunting season a memorable one.

An extra special thanks goes out to all the staff of RedSand Safaris, they are the unsung heroes of every hunting story. They make sure the system works and without them RSS would not be what it is today, our values as a company is best shown through the work ethic of our staff and that light shines bright.

I received a big file with pictures from the camera crew, they accompanied our guides on this buffalo hunt and a full week of plains game hunting.

These pictures of the buffalo hunt with Blaine are just blowing my mind and they speak so loudly on just how raw buffalo hunting can be, it's hard to explain the emotions, tension and excitement but these snaps are about the closest I have seen. Those who have been down that path will relate to every picture.

I am looking forward to sharing them and later on the video of this hunt. To think this was only day 2 of the hunt!

Just an absolute peach of a kudu bull. Coming out of our main kudu area right at the home base of RedSand Safaris. That space has delivered big bulls on a consistent basis over the last 6 years and by the looks of things for many years to come.
We take pride in our big kudu bulls and we manage them very well, only removing a handful of bulls in the class every season.

Congratulations Jessica with this proper bull and your 1st African animal, you could not have started this journey any better. Hunting kudu spot and stalk is no easy task but with the help of our skilled guiding team here at RSS we made it happen.
