Hunter Comments
I do not recommend this outfitter

i brought my son along on his first trip to hunt africa. he did take 3 nice animals, lost a nice impala and warthog that was never even looked for after the shot, the impala was chased after right after the shot and never recovered, we were told that they had considerable experience with archery hunters, that is not the case demonstrated by the poor after shot follow up. i hunt with trad equiptment and was told to use a gun, not to hunt with my bow, i was also told that i could switch out animals in the package, that was not the case once the hunt was over, ended up being charged a trophy fee for a blue wilde after i was told that i could switch. what we were told before the hunt and what we ended up with in the end were different, this also happened to another hunter in my group. i would not reommend this outfit if you are looking for a plains game hunt. what you are told and what is are two different things and they do not live up to their word. there was a constant pressure on my son to shot young sub trophy animals to the point that i began to make noise in the blind and try to scare them off, my son hit a blue wilde and minutes later hit a warthog, the blue wilde was followed up and recovered but the ph never even looked for blood on the pig, just a waste of an animal, i strongly suggest looking elseware if you are looking for plains game and a professional outfit.
