First time to Africa, looking for help

[TheGrayRider]

Just go hunt Africa. Nothing is ever truly perfect in life but you will have a hell of a good time and learn a lot. You will be back again after your first trip.

Don’t worry about the ever changing government and airline rules. Just go. Life is short! You can always make more money but you can not make more time…

I highly recommend Marius with @KMG Hunting Safaris for stalking with a bow.

Yep, me too. Marius loves his bowhunting and will do everything possible to get you on the game.

I’m considering going to Africa this year. I see allot of specials being offered and hear rates are good due to Covid and a decline in hunters traveling the last two years.

With that said I’ve never been and it’s overwhelming trying to plan a quality trip. I’m wanting to hunt plains game, An outfitter that specializes in archery capable stalking hunts would be a plus. Primary animals on my list are Kudu and Zebra but would like a package to shoot 7-10 animals depending on pricing. I am also bringing my GF which I would like to have her harvest a couple animals as well.

Any recommendations on outfitters, areas or anything else related would be helpful. Generally I plan my hunts out a year or longer but I’ve been delayed on a New Zealand trip that has been booked for two years but border restrictions have not allowed travel. So I’m looking to fill a gap and Africa may be the ticket. Wanting to hunt in July off 2022 if possible. I also have another 2 hunters possibly interested so may be able to secure 4 hunters for a good opportunity.

Just did my first trip and went to Botswana with NKWE Safaris. I can’t recommend the PH Jaco Visser enough. The entire experience was incredible. Not only was I put on massive animals, he was patient and taught me a lot along the way. I’m going back as soon as I can. I’m not sure I can top the animals we took but the experience was just that good. I took a 58” Kudu. A rough score 33” waterbuck. A big eland, male and female gemsbok, zebra, a monster Impala, jackal, warthog, wildebeest, and a giraffe. I don’t normally do testimonials but it was just that good.
