RANCE SAFARIS

Werty, I'm from Minnesota. I've been on two trips to South Africa, both with Nick Bowker Hunting. If you want a first class experience, look no further than Nick....you will not be disappointed!! EVERYTHING is done right!! Good luck.

Thank you!! I grew up shooting a lot and always thought I was a decent shot. Things changed after my 1st trip to South Africa. I didn't realize how much shooting would take place off of sticks and really didn't practice that prior to my 1st trip. I was very disappointed in my marksmanship in...

I'm still learning what animal is what, but there is a mount of an impressive Red Lechwe at OliveFountain Ranch that really turned me on to it. It was an add-on to the planned package after Nick shared there was "proper" Red Lechwe that he was aware of. Once I learned this, I didnt have to...

Finally, a few recommendations I would highly suggest to anyone: - Give yourself a MINIMUM of 3-4 hours for a layover between Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth. We were delayed out of PLZ and barely made the plane back to the States. You will need all of that time for gun transfer...

Day 8: The only animal left on our list was another big warthog. This was the focus for our final day of hunting. Well, success was achieved within 90 minutes of sunrise as we spotted a few shooters. One unsuccessful stalk on a big pig was quickly followed up by a successful stalk on a...

Day 7: Again, we headed back into the mountain region near Bedford going after another new species for us, the Blue Wildebeest. After another awesome drive through the mountainside a herd of about a dozen Wildebeest were spotted. We stalked into a position getting an advantage from an...

Day 6: Gemsbok was 1st thing on the menu for day 6. Going back into the same area where we had previous Gemsbok success, they herd was very active running about in the high plains. After making several unsuccessful stalk attempts due to the outstanding eyesight of these animals, we were able...

Day 5: This day was simply amazing. In the morning a beautiful Kudu bull was spotted among several Kudu cows. We again went on the stalk. As we closed the distance the valley came alive with the number of animals moving. This startled the Kudu as they moved away from us. The big bull...

Day 4: We started the morning by going back to the area where the Impala was taken the day earlier. As we were glassing from the top of a high ridge we spotted several Kudu, Warthog & Impala. A very impressive Impala came out at 270 yards and it was taken down using the elevation to our...

Day 3: We began the day by going up higher in the mountains near Bedford as we pursued Kudu. The drive up in these mountains is absolutely breathtaking. Rob showed his fantastic driving skills high in these mountains with amazing views. Again, we located numerous animals but decided against...

Day 2: Zebra was the top animal on our list this year and we started out the day going after these. We spotted 3 separate herds of Zebra on this morning. They all proved to be very skiddish and jumpy, remaining on the high-ground running with Blesbuck, Springbuck and Waterbuck. A quality...

It’s been 7 years since our last trip to the Eastern Cape with Nick Bowker Hunting. While there are a few minor changes (some upgrades to the bar/dinner area), most things were very similar. Most importantly, the experience and animals once again greatly exceeded our expectations. Being this...

Heading over for my second trip to the Eastern Cape with Nick Bowker Hunting. Our last experience in 2012 was such a phenomenal experience we didn't even consider looking elsewhere for another South African experience. In 2012, we filled every tag with phenomenal animals while Nick provided...
