Beauty of Vurhonga Savanna

Hello and Welcome back to my blog!



1

The only African map in theHunter: Call of the Wild is Vurhonga Savanna.

A hunting reserve teeming with indigenous flora and fauna and offering a hunting experience like none other. The reserve spans over several biomes, covering the savanna, woodlands, fever tree forests, swamps and scrublands.

Hunting in the Savanna is not the most challenging because of the wide open dried-up fields with less dense vegetations. But sometimes the long grass makes it a bit difficult.

Some of the smaller animals like Springboks, foxes, hares etc can easily hide in those and in some rare cases, you will find some lions trying to ambush their predators. Sometimes they will attack us too but it is so rare. Every animal's first instinct is to be confrontational and run away. Only in cases when they have no other options they will try to attack you.



3


Outposts here are usually just a few tents placed on top of a wooden platform. This is not as sturdy and permanents as you will see in some of the other maps. Oh and notice my Sheru always in action trying to find some fresh dropping and tell me. What a legend...lol



4


Also, the hunting structures are unique too. They blend well with the map. Some of them are just a metal shed placed on the ground while others are raised wooden platforms.

It is a pretty dried-up map with just a few sources of water. It is a big chunk of land isolated and surrounded by a long but narrow river which kind of works as a border of the map. You can't go into deeper water in this game.

Look at how Sheru enjoys being my model for the shots. He is a good boy, and you can see the river behind him at some distance.



6


This map has a few different biomes though, one of the greenish ones is the Fever tree forest on the western edge of the reserve. This place is rightly named Bush Valley!

It gets harder to find animals in this bush valley, they blend well and most of them have a good sense of hearing which alerts them when you get closer. I spotted a herd of Lesser Kudo who always give me a tough time here. They were already alert and running by the time I opened my camera and tried to take a few shots. Can you spot one in the next photo?



7


There are some big lakes spread across the whole reserve. They work as perfect hotspots for animal activities. So many of them come here to drink depending on the time of the day but none more majestic than the Lions. One of the central lakes attracts a lot of them in the afternoon.



8


I found a couple of big males by the edge of this lake. They weren't too cautious, one of them was busy drinking while the other was more attentive and looking all around the lake. I couldn't resist but took the shots.



9


Even after a loud gunshot, the other didn't run away. This daring and somewhat stupid attitude helped me kill both of them. Much easier than I suspected.



10


Look at how confused Sheru looks at me, he must be asking for his treat but he just had his cookie, what a greedy bastard!

I hunted a few Springboks too but it got too messy and bloody so I won't share it here...lol

But I will end it with some trees! How could I not...right? I love to take pictures of them both in games and Irl, so here is one.

Let me know which ones are your favourites among all of them. Mine are #1 and #8

Thanks for reading...

Until next hunt...

For a moment I thought it was a real landscape, an incredible publication and a big hug

Thank you bro. I loved the first photo so much

Sheru is quite a model hehehe, beautiful shots, shots 4, 5 and 6 look realistic to me. Also the environment of Africa makes me reference to Far Cry 2.

avatar

Yeah, these are pretty realistic as far as you get. I could see how it reminds you of Far Cry 2.

TheHunter's maps never cease to fascinate me every day. Yes, it may be much simpler compared to other maps, but I think this map is just as beautiful. Especially those stupid lions hahahaha

Among the photographs, 2 frames caught my eye again. The first one is the background of photograph number 4. The second one is photograph number 6. But of the two, I think number 6 looks better !LUV.

avatar

Number 6 didn't look as good as some of the other photos to me, but after seeing them it has some nice branches and trees which is quite aesthetic. Number 4 is cool too!

Much !LUV my !LADY

It's a great adventure! The diverse biomes, hunting challenges, and encounters with wildlife made for an immersive experience. Sheru, your loyal companion, added a charming touch. Waiting to join your next hunt. And like the 7 and 11.

7 is very mystical...quite an interesting choice. Thank you for the kind words.

Truth is - both the thumbnail picture and the title actually made me think that you did a mistake sharing your real life travel post with us in Gaming Photography although I was thinking this might be a game as well.

Your doggy looks wild beside the corpse of the lion.

Great captures, loved them.

avatar

Hehe... there will be someone who always thinks it was a real life shot. This just says a lot about the realistic graphics of this game.

Sheru is very courageous, he always follows me even go the deadliest predators. He was so relieved after I hunted those lions 😁

avatar

Sheru sounds like a fantastic companion. Take the best care of him (or is it her?).

avatar

HE is a good boy!

That's definately a "he"...lol

avatar

That's definately a "he"...lol

LOL, I didn't notice that deep when I was asking. 😂😂😂
