I may be wrong, but I believe someone has asked this question before. Have you tried a search?
I've never hunted with Chris, but my brother has a number of years back. He still raves about him. I'll see if I can get him to give you a first-hand account.
Never hunted with either, but it's my understanding that Graham Sales and Crusader Safaris both hunt properties that are several hundred thousand acres. One I believe is a conservancy made up of numerous properties.
My brother has been to South Africa numerous times with no problems. I know of others who have also been. Never even heard of it come up as a question until reading these posts.
Thanks for report. Congratulations on a great hunt.
I hunted with Craig on my first hunt to Africa in 2005 in Limpopo and Freestate. Nothing like the first trip to Africa. That’s been a few years back, and he still greets me every year in Dallas like that hunt was just a few weeks ago. He...
Don’t know why I keep praising game4africa; the more people who find out how good they are, the harder it’s going to be to get the best hunting dates I want at the last minute. (Just kidding if you read this, Wik.)
But seriously, I don’t have as much experience in Africa as many here, but I do...
You asked about the quality suffering. No. Here’s my take on their operation. 1st the family has a meat processing business that I think is their primary source of income. I wouldn’t necessarily say that the hunting operation is just a hobby they love, but I think they do ok without it which...
Hunted with them last year and plan to go back in 2021. May go in 2020? Posted a report on here of 2018 hunt. I can’t say enough good about them.
Had no problem with cell service or WiFi with them while at the lodge. Paid for international plan with carrier and used my own phone.
I have also made a long term plan for all the trips I’d like to take in Africa (within reason). I hope to do them all. Save the same but do the least expensive first. Put that plan in a spread sheet, and it’s amazing how much of a difference in total cost this can make over 20-30 years.
Posted this on your other thread and realized I probably should have put it here.
Don’t know what your long term plans for hunting in Africa are, but just thought I’d mention something that’s become a part of my hunting/financial plan.
I want to hunt Africa as often as I can. I plan a trip...
Was reading your other thread about finances. Don’t know what your long term plans for hunting in Africa are, but just thought I’d mention something that’s become a part of my hunting/financial plan.
I want to hunt Africa as often as I can. I plan a trip regardless of cost and start saving the...
I think they’ve had a booth in Dallas for as long as I’ve been going.
Never hunted with them, but they were highly recommended to me for hunting east cape by someone who had made dozens of trips to Africa.
Read and heard lots of good things about them, and plan on hunting with them down the...
Always planning my next trip. Always seems to center around kudu. (Southern greater is what I’m interested in here but love to hear about east capes too.) There are a few older threads on areas and outfits to hunt for good kudu. From what I’ve looked at there are a few hunts that keep coming up...
Used them basically as a booking agent on 2015 hunt. Couldn’t resist the prices they were offering. Ultimately had numerous issues with our booking agent, but he booked us with a great outfit that made everything good. Had a great trip. I would try to find out everything you can about who...
I had looked at Debeers because I wanted to hunt the Kat River Conservancy. Ended up going with Game 4 Africa. Again, can’t say anything about Debeers, but my brother took a monster kudu the day we hunted the Kat River. The Kat River’s big, and I don’t know exactly what part Debeers hunts, but I...
I hunted in an area debeers hunts a few weeks ago. I actually asked my ph about them. He knew them. I understand they are relatively new, so you may not get much feedback. And I can’t really give you any positive or negative info other than that I understand they are relatively new.
Hunting report for Game4Africa and Wik Coetzee, May 2018
This was my third trip to South Africa and my second trip to the Eastern Cape. We had hunted just across the road from the Coetzees 3 years ago, and I was amazed at the kudu hunting. We chose this area and time of year in hopes of another...
