Has anyone heard or been to New Trend Safari's in South Africa, near the border of Zimbabwe? I'm going hunting there this summer and just wanted to get any feedback on the outfitter. Thanks

Seeing my dad go with his buddies to hunt really got me into wondering what the thrill of hunting was. I knew I had to find out for myself. When my dad came home from his elk hunt, I asked him if he would take me hunting. To my surprise he said, "Sure, lets go hunting next weekend." My heart was pumping and I was excited to go on my first deer hunt, let alone my first hunt at age 9. After getting it OKed with mom, we headed out four hours from home to a good buddy of my dads. We got there on a Friday night, cold and dark. I met the other hunters(all guys) and they seemed pretty cool. We stayed in a old school bus that had bunk beds in it. Not quite a 5 star hotel, but I didnt care. I just wanted to hunt. We set out at 5am the next morning knowing we would see some deer. Adrenaline was going through my body as I was climbing the tree stand. My dad and I sat there for 3 hours with no movement but squirrels. At this point, I was asking myself if this was really worth it. We went back to camp to get some lunch and reassured myself I would see deer that afternoon. We headed back out to the tree stand and sat there for 5 more hours until we saw a doe pop out of the timber. There was about 30 minutes before dark. I hurried to get my gun(.243 Remmington) and started to focus on the deer. Before I knew it, the doe went back in the timber. I was frustrated and my dad told me we would get one tomorrow. All of the sudden, the doe came back out. I was ready this time. I put the crosshairs behind the shoulder and squeezed the trigger. I immediately saw the white stomach of the deer. Also I saw flames everywhere! My dad forgot to inform me that at night you can see the flame come out of the barrel when you shoot. To be honest, that freaked me out the most. I couldnt get down the ladder quick enough to run the 91 yards the deer was laying. I was extremely happy with the shot I made and my dad was too. He gave me a big hug and told me I was his little hunting buddy from now on. Of course my dad took a million pictures to show everyone in my family what I have done. At age 9, I didnt know I would be here where I am today. I have taken many white-tailed deer, a mule deer, a mountain lion, a record book black bear, a record book kudu and gemsbok, and top 40 of all time leopard. This summer is one of the toughest hunts and the scariest hunts yet, the Lion. I have been practicing shooting for about 2 months now and I feel like I am ready to shoot it. All I ask is to keep my dad and I in your prayers that nothing dangerous will happen. I am so excited for the hunt because we are filming it and it might be on some of the hunting channels. I guess its not everyday you see a 19 year old girl hunting lions. Hope you enjoyed reading this!Liz
