The
Ranch in the Freestate where the Safari will be held,
has been in the family for the last 31 years. It is 12
000 acres, 3 000 animals which consist of 26 different
species.
The first baby Rhino in 100 years in the Freestate was
born on our ranch. We started the White-Lion project in
2002, as there is less than 250 left in the world.
Wiets Botes, owner of Wiets Safaris was honoured with a
gold medal in 1983 as the person who contributed the
most towards Fauna and Flora in the Free State.
At 20 yards the white rhino looked
huge. At 15 yards he was enormous and still walking
towards us. At 10 yards with only a small thorn bush
between the Rhino, the Pro Hunter and myself, questions
of my sanity were dominating my thoughts.
At 5 yards he got our wind and charged off to the left
as fast as he could run. We lay there and started
breathing again. The tranquilizer gun that I carried
seemed small and insignificant when looking into the
eyes of the three-ton rhino. more>>
Sally had always wanted a
zebra rug, but she never dreamed she would have one made
from a trophy she had had hunted. She said she was
up to the task, because she figured she could shoot her
other animals at closer distances and work up to the
zebra later in the safari. Click on the
