Legadema Hunting & Safaris - Mozambique & South Africa

04/11/2024

In the wild heart of Mozambique, where Africa remains untamed and raw, hunting with Legadema is an adventure like no other. Every moment in our exclusive concession is filled with thrill and anticipation—from tracking through dense bushland to the rush of facing the beauty and the beast of nature.

CAPE BUFFALO HUNT REPPORT:

Legadema’s PH'es Willie Botha and Glaeser once again hunted a couple of cape buffalo’s with their clients. We asked Willie to give a report of the cape buffalo hunt on which he guided Klaus Fischer.

Willie, 13 October: Klaus and I were up at 5am, having breakfast. We left camp at 5h30 and started looking for cape buffalo tracks. At around 6h30 we found tracks of a group of about 50 buffalo. We noticed some big bull tracksAs soon as we saw the group of buffalo we went around down-wind and started walking parallel to the buffalo keeping their pace. We eventually found some good terrain where we could close in. Klaus got his opportunity at around 7h30 as an old bul was quartering towards us. The bullet hit the bull about 10cm to the right of the shoulder, hitting a piece of the left lung and went into the stomach content. At that moment I were not sure where exactly the bullet hit and the buffalos started running away from us. We tracked the bul. It was squirting a bit of blood for about an hour whereafter the bleeding stopped. The bull cut away from the group only a few minutes after being shot which signalled that the bull was hurt. The bull waited for us in thick bush twice. Both times we saw him in time and the bull run off before Klaus could get a shot. At around 11h30 I decided to stop tracking the bull hoping that the bull will bed down giving the bullet some time to do its work. At 2h30 we started tracking the bull again. We tracked the bull for about an hour up to where it walked into some very thick bush. Looking at the tracks the bull did not show any sign of discomfort and there was no blood. Klaus were concerned asking if we were still on the right track and I affirmed that it is the correct track. The track went into an area with 3m high savanna grass. As we recently encountered lions in the area we decided not to follow the track into the long grass. We went around and confirmed that the bull did not exit on the other side. We realised that the buffalo is in this area in front of us of about 200m x 200m of long grass with some Akasia trees. I realised that there is also a group of elephant in this area standing in the shade of the Akasia trees. I was wondering how to approach the situation as we were now standing at the edge of this bush with elephants, including a baby of a few weeks old, and a wounded buffalo, hiding in the bush. It was now 3pm and I realised that the elephants will probably not move as it was very hot and they were in the shade. I did not know if the buffalo was dead or laying in the grass hiding or waiting for us. I moved downwind and then instructed my tracker to start throwing some stones in the direction of where we saw the elephants to chase them off. It eventually worked as the elephants stormed through the grass away from us. We then went very slowly into the area. As we went into an open area under the trees we saw the buffalo track going from right to left.. As we moved forward for about 10 paces we suddenly encountered the bul. He was laying upright, facing us. It only took a second or two for Klaus to pull the trigger braining the bull. I am confident that the buffalo was ready to jump up and charge if that bullet did not hit him in the brain. It was a beautiful old bull. After closer inspection I realised that the buffalo also recently escaped a lion attack as the claw marks and small puncture marks could be seen on the backside of the buffalo.

See enclosed pictures including blood on the ground while tracking (picture no 2), the thick area where the buffalo was hiding (picture no 1), the long grass(picture no 3), the lion claw marks on the skin of the buffalo (picture no 4) and a happy client (picture no 5). Afterwards we took the meat to the local people as part of our social upliftment program.

Dear Legadema friends. One of our clients hunting adventure turned out be be more than expected. Brad went to hunt a cape buffalo at our exclusive Mozambique unfenced hunting concession and end up shooting two bulls. Brad and Reinhardt were still at camp early morning when a group of local people arrived at camp with one of their own, who got attacked by a cape buffalo. The local apparently walked close to his village when a dagga bull came out of the bush and charged at him. Within seconds the local were gored and pushed into the ground for about 40 yards. Just as suddenly the bull left him and walked away. Reinhardt and Brad jumped into action and bandaged his wounds, while listening how the injured guy’s breath could be heard from under his arm, as his lung were punctured. They immediately send Legadema's driver to transport him to Bawa, about 80km from camp, from where he was transferred by boat and all the way to the hospital. According to information the guy is still alive.
The next day Reinhardt, Brad, the scout and tracker went to see if they could find the buffalo.They investigated the “crime scene”. There were lots of blood all over the scene. Eventually they tracked the buffalo and saw two buffalos about 500 yards from the village. The one buffalo with the broken horn were the guilty one. Brad hunted the one bull whereafter the bull with the broken horn turn and start moving in Reinhardt and Brad’s direction. They waited for the bull to come closer and then let loose. The bull went down after some good shooting. See below the picture of the two bulls.

Brad also bagged some exceptional trophies including an eland, chobi bushbuck, warthog, sharpes grysbok and common duiker.

Legadema had another great hunt with three of our clients from the USA at our exclusive Mozambique concession. Looking at the pictures below you will see some great trophies. You will also see that even though our guides are very professional while hunting they also have fun when time permits making the hunting experience for our clients exiting, safe and fun filled. We are proud to say that even though some of our guides have done more than 100 big game hunts, not one of our clients have ever been hurt during a big game hunt. Willie, Reinhardt and Glaeser will return to Mozambique next week guiding our next three clients.

Willie and Reinhardt from Legadema Hunting & Safaris are returning to South Africa after a very successful and fun filled trip to a few states in the USA. As always we were received and treated so well by our clients who became friends. It was so nice to see everybody and to listen to all the hunting adventures relived by our clients together with us while we listened silently and realising how much of an impact these wild dangerous game hunts made on so many peoples lives. We are now fully booked for 2025 and 2026 are 50% booked.
While killing time in between the chapter events we ticked so many boxes as possible. We give a special thanks to Andrew, Carri Ann, Tim, Mike Dullen, Mark Wehinger, Kurt and Ann, Mike Austin, Greg Peters and Derek Lange who spend time with us. From eating yak, musk ox, reindeer, moose and more, drinking and tasting about 20 different type of beers, taking us for dinner, letting us stay with them, barbecue salmon in the snow, taking us pheasant hunting and sport clay pigeon shooting, private wild game dinners and so much more. We are so grateful to have seen the Aurora Borealis “Northern lights”, eating ice cream and swimming in the Chena hot springs in the dark while -35 F, drinking apple sours out of glases made of ice in the ice museum and dog sledging.

Now it is time to get our guns sighted in and getting new equipment for our camp in Tete, Mozambique and then getting the camp started up before our firs clients arrive. We cannot wait to get back in the bush and to be part of so many more hunting adventures of our next clients.
