As peace settles across Europe and possibly the World, some of the magnates in the Cape Colony seek to attract talent and economic prosperity by putting on an international event for the wealthy across the globe:  a hunting competition.

The best hunters and hunter enthusiasts are invited to submit entries to participate in scouring the Safari for the best hunt from across the Cape Colony.  The winning hunter for best prized hunt will get renown and a cash prize of 10,000 pounds pooled from the entry fee.  The entry fee will be 5,000 pounds.

A maned male lion and female rhino will be very prized hunts among other animals, but the animal the judges will be particularly looking for is the great white bat, otherwise known as “Shikaka” by the Wachati and Wachutu tribe.
