WINTERSHOEK SAFARIS

Yes Rob, Sammy is incredible. How he saw some of the animals he pointed out is beyond me. And such a wonderful guy, just a pleasure to be around. Sabina made the last few days after we had finished hunting, as we made it to Chris's parents house. So, I was able to visit with her a few days...

Yes Bruce, I actually took every animal with the 6.5 CM. Frankly, I wasn't sure that would be the plan, in fact, it wasn't the plan. I had a .338 WM with me as well, intentionally to shoot the eland. But, I have been shooting the 6.5 and this bullet combination for several years on deer in...

I'm not sure when the next trip is, but it will not be too many years. My wish list will be much more modest on the next go-around, I can assure you!

Well, it's been a few weeks since I returned from my third trip to southern Africa and I'm finally caught up enough to post a report and some pictures. This was my second trip with Chris Troskie and CT Safaris, and boy what a trip! Chris runs a first class operation, and works very hard to put...

I have hunted with Chris Troskie once, and am returning to hunt with him in May/June of next year. Chris is first class, both as a PH and person. He's a joy to be around, personable, knowledgeable, and diligent in his job. Sabina is wonderful, and not only is she a true star in the kitchen...

Great report John! I hunted with Chris last year and as I read your report I could literally close my eyes and "see" some of the hunts we experienced. Thanks for that. I'm planning to return to hunt with Chris in a few years, but after reading your report I'm going to start saving a little...

John, You're going to have a fantastic time with Chris, I literally think every single day about when I can return to Africa for another safari. My advice having been twice now - breath, relax, soak in everything around you. Pay attention to the little details that we often ignore in our...

Hopefully this is on topic, I've been to Africa twice and both times were wonderful (although trip 1 was "saved" - see below). The second trip I booked because of information received on this forum and I have zero complaints, I hunted with CT safaris and it was excellent from start to finish...

I used Pronto Global last year. Peter and Simone were attentive to my questions and promptly responded to any concerns I had. My shipment was a bit slow leaving, which resulted from them having to wait on the veterinary certificate. However, that seemed to be out of their hands. The shipment...

Hunt with Chris Troskie Safaris Ok, back to the hunt. Day 3 we head downhill to chase another reedbuck. Luck shines on us, and I take a RW ram very early in the hunt. Beautiful animals, and fun to hunt. We chase nyala all afternoon, with one of us sitting on a waterhole and one stalking...

My dad and I just returned from our hunt with Chris Troskie Safaris, and it was a great trip. From the time that Chris and his wife Sabina met us at Africa Sky guesthouse, until they walked us through our rifle check on the departing flight, we were made to feel like friends and family. Chris...

I just recently returned from my first trip to Africa, we hunted in some pretty hilly terrain in Namibia. Being able to compare the physical requirements to other hunts I've taken in the North America, I'll offer this. Diamondhitch hit it - the better shape you're in, the better off you'll...

I shot 7, springbuck, impala, mountain zebra, gemsbuck, waterbuck, kudu, and blue wildebeest, and just returned a month ago. Have already booked my next trip for 2013. And if I hit the lottery, I'll go back every year....

mstewart - I just sent you a message with my phone number, please let me know when you can chat.

Hello - I'm interested in talking with you about the post you placed in regards to Highveld, in response to my post a few weeks ago. At this point, my trophies are still drying in Namibia, so I have time to change my course of action. I live in Georgia, USA and would love to speak with you...

Hello, I just joined AH, and just returned from my first trip to Africa. What a surreal experience! I was lucky enough to take 7 nice trophies in Namibia, and my outfitter strongly recommended that I use Highveld for my mounts. I looked into them before the trip, and their work appeared to...
