On his umpteenth safari with our company, Yuri Petrov from Russia completed his Big 5 in style this 2011 year, by taking a big old Rhino Bull at Wag ‘n Bietjie. It was also good to welcome back Yuri’s son Alex, repeat hunter Sergey Dvuluchanskiy and first timers Anatoli Petrakov, Anatoli Voronin and Edgar Aramyan all from Russia. The group was led into the sticks by Ph’s Strauss Jordaan and Yvan Nieuwoudt and everyone had an enjoyable African experience. On one special occasion, the Russian hunters prepared a memorable barbeque out in the bush, cooking a traditional dish off the fire out of a 3 legged pot …. It was great fun and very delicious to say the least! Everyone has promised to return and we are most certainly looking forward to that soon. With special thanks to Yuri and Alex for their years of continued support and friendship and for organizing such a wonderful group of hunters …. We appreciate you all so very much!
