Dear AH Members
We are putting together a different kind of safari one that takes you back to the roots of African hunting and we believe it will be the adventure of a lifetime.
This is the Africa of old.
The Africa of dusty boots, campfire smoke, and long tracks disappearing into the bush. The Africa where the day starts before sunrise and ends under a blanket of stars with a mug of coffee or a glass of whisky around the fire.
Think of this as a do-it-yourself safari with experienced professionals by your side.
Forget the fancy lodge.
Forget the electricity.
Forget the soft beds and five-star service.
Your home will be a canvas tent on the edge of a dry riverbed. Your alarm clock will be the call of a jackal or the distant laugh of a hyena. Your evenings will be spent around a crackling fire, sharing stories that only Africa can write.
This is not a holiday.
This is an adventure.
You won't just be a client—you will become part of the safari.
• Gather firewood for the night's fire.
• Help prepare meals over hot coals.
• Follow fresh tracks through the African bush.
• Help recover game and experience every part of the hunt.
• Walk, hunt, laugh, and live alongside your PH and tracker as one team.
• Before heading into the bush, we stop at the local grocery store and stock up for the week.
• Then it's 7 days in wild Africa with nothing but your PH, your tracker, a canvas camp, and endless adventure.
No Electricity
No distractions.
No luxury.
Just Africa.
✔ Airport pick-up and drop-off included.
✔ 7 days of authentic African safari living.
✔ A true old-school hunting experience.
• 5 × Impala Females
• 2 × Blue Wildebeest Females
Package Price: $1,950 (excluding daily rates)
If you've ever dreamed of hunting Africa the way the old safari pioneers did, carrying your own gear, sleeping under the stars, and becoming part of the team instead of just a guest, then this is your chance.
Leave comfort behind.
Earn your safari.
Come home with more than trophies.
Come home with an African adventure you'll tell stories about for the rest of your life.

...looks very pleasant
.....but it looks fine....another of my pet hates are safari camps in the wild Bush that are like luxury resorts or a small hotel....can be comfortable and have facilities but to me it takes away a lot of the feeling of being out in the bush...as said the first time hunted in Tanzania we had a tent that could just take 2 single beds if needed ..but we had only one each ...a small table out front with a plastic bowl for washing/ brushing teeth...one shower which had a canvas that didn't close properly....a hot water bucket that after your first time using it you discovered only had enough water for probably 3 mins max if you were luvky...a wooden duck board to stand on that sank into the mud, so you kept your slops/flip flops on.....one long drop toilet about 20 yards past last of 4 client tents....this was when hyenas etc were in big numbers due to lots of meat from ele poaching...they were in and around camp from sunset...so for someone first experience was bit hair-raising....also year before one of the staff got hammered by a lion as the staff had meat drying in their area.....I hunted zambia the next year and was amazed that there was a sink ...shower and flush toilet built into the grass hut ....luxury
