From Fairbanks Alaska, John and Carol Holz and friends Steve and Kathy Smith, joined Ph’s Lash Le Roux Coetzee and Stephan Jooste for this their umpteenth safari at Gamagara and a visit to our Linksfontein area. It was great to welcome such wonderful folks back again in camp; with tons of humor making the safari a really enjoyable all round and very successful hunt and experience. We most certainly look forward to sharing the camp fires with you all again in the near future, to celebrate Steve’s 70th birthday!! Thank you for your custom and friendships over the years.

At Gamagara Steve shoots himself a monster Springbok ram taping in at 15 7/8” …. Yo!!
A characteristic of all Springbok is the flaring out of the mane that runs along the top of the back, known as the pronk.
