I have been very impressed with my discussion with this outfitter so far- very responsive and thoroughly answered my questions etc. I have seen many positive reviews and videos.

I feel I would be remiss if I did not make a quick posting about this before I send in my deposit.

If anyone has anything positive they would like to share about Game 4 Africa Safaris please post it here, If anyone has experienced any negative issues, please send me a private message.

Thanks!
 
Did you try the search function for @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS ? Lots of good reports. I've hunted with them twice and both were excellent hunts.
 
I went with them last year, as did a number of other AH members. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend.

In my research before booking with them, I could not find a single negative review. As 375 Ruger noted, do a search of the forum through hunt reports and you'll see for yourself, plus get to read a lot of great hunts to get you excited for the trip.

Book with them, do not hesitate.

Honestly, this is exactly why I made this thread. I cannot find anything negative. That is concerning to me hahaha! I have read most everything available online- this thread is just a quick thing for my own personal feeling of comfort. I plan on contacting the again tonight to get my deposit in
 
Wik and his team are really great. I am working on a return trip with them. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Edit to add: the buff in my profile pic is from my last year trip with Wik as PH.
 
I took my wife and kids hunting with them a few years back and had an excellent trip, no complaints, very nice family, excellent hunting
 
I don’t think you’ll find anything negative based on the reports you read here and the individuals that have written those reports. However, I’d suggest taking to those individuals on phone and other references. Look for consistent experience or inconsistencies. Most people won’t go out of their way to let you know about a ok or moderately negative experience, but inconsistency between hunters (even if they all thought great) is a reason to ask more questions and look further. I haven’t hunted with Game 4 Africa, but that applies to any outfitter.
 
I have hunted with them twice, in 2021 and 2023. I would like to back again. Wik is incredible, though (IMHO) Colin is the better storyteller. :p Don Laaks (my PH last time) is one of the best people you will ever be around.

I knew you would be the first to answer this one, Dave!

As you will see, a lot of AH’ers have been with them and I’m not aware of a single negative having been put out there. I was supposed to go with them on my first safari and had to back out and they gave me all my money back, which they didn’t need to do, and were great about it. All communication was excellent and if I end up back in South Africa again, I’m likely to pay them a visit.
 
We are booked with them for July 2027 for our first trip. Everything has been smooth as can be and if there was anything negative I believe I would have found it. Look forward to your hunt report if you go before us.

They are one of the very best outfitters you will ever hunt with. A family who will make you feel like family…so much passion and energy with a large dose of friendliness!!! You will work for your animals within your health ability.
 
I’ll be flying out on Friday for a buff hunt with them! It’ll be my first ever African hunt, so whilst I won’t have anything to compare the experience to I have every confidence that I’ve made the right decision and will have a great time! I’ll be sure to post a hunt report on here too!
 
I went with them 5-6 years ago on a short time-frame trip and took 5 animals, all great trophies. Treated me very well and I am booked with them again in July with my son, son-in-law and 2 12 year old grandsons. I wouldn't be taking them along unless I was absolutely sure we would be taken care of. Good luck, I'll try to leave a couple animals for you.
 
I’ve written three reports on them in the hunt reports section. I feel like they do better every time I go and their connections to meat care and taxidermy are exceptional. If you need more specifics, feel free to send me a pm.
 
I hunted with @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS, they are as good as they come. I hunted with them in 2022, did the buffalo, kudu, impala package they had back them. Seriously, if you felt good talking to them, go ahead and send your deposit!! Wik is top notch!!

That sounds like a healthy operation, in both the ethical sense and in operational stability. That would indicate to me that they are more concerned with (even canceling) customers being satisfied than they are scraping your wallet and they probably have no issues backfilling the dates. That’s a noteworthy report on them, thank you.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
