Your hosts are Fanus and Jennifer Greyling, owners of Timkulu Safaris. Fanus was born and raised on a farm on the banks of the Vaal River in central SouthAfrica. His pursuit of feather and fur began as soon as he could hold a gun. Inevitably his character and frame of reference was forged as only a life close to Africa’s soil and its many facets can ensure.

Hunting

Timkulu Safaris owns a game reserve with beautiful scenery, where Fanus will personally assist you in hunting a wide variety of antelope. When Fanus started out in 1991, the reserve consisted of overgrazed cattle farms. He bought these up, and painstakingly allowed nature to rebuild herself to her former natural state. His education and passion culminated, and he managed the reserve is such a way as to ensure the utilization of game on a sustainable basis. Fanus went through great lengths to introduce game of superior quality, resulting in exceptional trophies taken home by hunters. The reserve now boasts 20 species, including rhino and buffalo, and needless to say, the game populations are prospering and the numbers rise consistently each year. A great priority of Fanus is to let benefits derived from hunting filter through to everybody and everything involved in the game cycle...

Fishing

Winter time is not only hunting and shooting time. It is also yellowfish time. A fish only found in the River of Diamonds – the Vaal River.

Sightings of fish eagle and otters are virtually guaranteed, which are indicators of a healthy ecosystem. An ecosystem within the river of which the two species of yellowfish hold the top ranking in the food chain, being the main predators. They are the smallmouth yellowfish Barbus holubi and the largemouth yellowfish Barbus kimberleyensis...
