My Dear Hunting Friends,
The sun has set on the 2007 Limcroma Safaris season, and the dust has settled over the Limcroma hunting areas.

I'm happy to announce that our 2007 hunting season was yet another record year for Limcroma Safaris. Because of the dedicated Limcroma team of Professional Hunters and Staff and great shooting by our hunting guests, we took some of our best trophies ever.

This would have been impossible without the support from all of our hunting friends who chose Limcroma as their African safari destination.  I would like to thank each and every one of you for helping Limcroma Safaris to grow, prosper and come closer to being a household name in the safari world 

Several members of the Limcroma team are back in the US for our annual whirlwind marketing tour. (NOTE: Please refer to our travel schedule below) We hope to see all our friends, old and new, and share with all of you the highlights of our 2007 Safari season. Don't hesitate to give us a call to say hello or schedule a private meeting outside of our normal show appearances.

For 2008, we have some exciting new areas for bow hunting and rifle hunting for both plains game and dangerous game. We are very excited about these great additions and look forward to discussing these areas with you. 

We appreciate the support of each and every one of you, our guests!!!  You are what makes Limcroma Safaris such an exciting place to be and you create the memories for us which will surely last for a life time.  Contact us when you have time so we can discuss your next ultimate hunting experience in Africa.

                                                               Best regards,

                                                               Hannes Els

Great Deals Available for Early-Late Season Safaris
Does saving some money on the safari you've always dreamed of sound good to you? What about spending some quality time with the family on an African Safari Spring Break? Keep this in mind, early and late season safaris (April/May and September/October) are quoted at lower rates than our high season safaris. We encourage you to inquire about these great deals and also to check out our show specials while we are in the States, which often include discounts on Early/Late Season safaris. We had some great safaris early/late in our season in 2007, the trophy quality was outstanding and clients were smiling when they left!

36 Trophies in 21 Days, Including Buffalo and Lions!
Looking back, one of the highlights of our 2007 season was hosting Hunter and Debbie Elam on their first trip to Africa. Hunter and Debbie returned home from our
Limcroma Safaris camp after an eventful and exciting stay in a total of 4 different camps. The Ennis, Texas couple enjoyed some fantastic hunting and took 36 trophies in 21 days! Hunter's bag included a beautiful cape buffalo and huge male lion plus dozens of SCI record book plains game trophies. Debbie also had a great amount of success, including an old female lioness and a long list of record class plains game. The Elam's made plans to return in 2009 before leaving camp, a testament to the hard work and preparation the whole Limcroma Team puts into each safari, large or small. We have uploaded pictures of their incredible trophies plus a wonderful testimonial, so please take a look, you'll not be disappointed in the quality of trophies!

Population Control Hunts...Add a Few Flat Skins to Your Decor.
Due to exceedingly high populations of game animals on several of our hunting concessions, we are offering these discounted hunting opportunities to our clients in an effort to reduce the populations to desired levels. These Management Hunts are a great way to economically add a few beautiful flat skins to your trophy room or office. If interested, please inform your PH that you would like to add this option to your safari. Keep in mind that these hunts are offered on a limited basis, on certain properties in which we have determined the need for this important and vital management tool.
