In August of 2023, my family and I hunted Africa for the first time, and we went with Molopo Kalahari Safaris, where we met Brendan. Our introduction lasted the duration of a 4 hour car ride from the Kimberly airport to the lodge, and it was readily apparent that Brendan was extremely personable and very enjoyable to be around. I thought we’d be in for a great week, and even my highest expectations were succeeded.
All week we had the privilege of learning a seemingly endless amount about the wildlife and continent as a whole from Brendan, all the while he kept a sharp lookout for whichever species we were after. You can tell he truly cares about the hunt and treats each group of hunters and visitors as another adventure all on its own, rather than just another day at work. He is a great person to be around and makes you feel like good friends, rather than clients.
My father and I ended up taking a pair of truly exceptional Kudu bulls, a gemsbok, and zebra. We hunted hard all week and there was never a lack of determination or effort from anyone, especially Brendan, and we pushed hard until we filled our last tag with, quite literally, 30 minutes left in our hunt. I cannot imagine a better introduction to African hunting than what Brendan and the Molopo team showed us throughout our time, which ended up with us rebooking, and we couldn’t be more excited to see them in 2025. You will be hard pressed to find a PH more knowledgeable, dedicated, or as driven to give you the best experience possible.
