Our cabin at Derksen's Private Reserve outside Vaalwater in the Limpopo Province. This was our 5th and last hunting area.

Lunchtime at Derksen's. James is joking with his tracker, Fixit. James and Darren were great fun around camp, and very serious hunters in the bush.

Holly and Lee relaxing on the patio after lunch. After a nap, we would have tea with the PH's, then head out for the afternoon hunt.

Kudu, Wildebeest, Warthog and Impala skulls at Derksen's. Each year, after the rains, they have local tribes repaint the camp in traditional designs.

Zebra mare shot at Derksen's with the .375. I wanted a zebra rug as well as a shoulder mount and this big mare made a good-looking rug for the wall.
