Group Safari for 2027 (Bow + Rifle) — Large Properties / Free Range Preferred

[campjak1]

I'm planning a group safari for 2027 and would like to get information and package options from outfitters.
We are specifically looking for large properties or free-range areas, and are not interested in small properties with internal fences.

Group Details

• Hunters: 5 confirmed, possibly 2 additional
• Observers: 1 child (age 6 at the time) and 1 adult, with the possibility of a few more
• Two bow-focused hunters, the rest rifle
• Looking for a 7–9 day hunt

What I’m Looking For

For myself (bow-focused):
Eland (top priority), gemsbok, wildebeest, springbok, kudu, warthog, and possibly sable.
Ideally looking for a package that includes most or all of these species, with the main goal being an old eland with a bow.
Open to input on whether this is realistic in one bow-focused trip.

For the rest of the group:
A package centered around kudu, gemsbok, blesbok, impala, and springbok—something they can build on.

Please include:

• Any additional fees from airport pickup to drop-off
• Observer rates
• 2027 deposit, cancellation, and payment schedule details

Bowhunting Questions

• Do you have a PH who specializes in bowhunting or who bow hunts themselves?
• Any bow-hunting restrictions I should be aware of?

Camp & Logistics

• How do you typically handle observers and young children? Any day activities or options for them?
• Will our group have the camp to ourselves, or do you host multiple groups at once?
• How many hunters/observers can you accommodate?
• Are cull animals available?
• Can an observer decide to shoot an animal?
• Is limited participation in skinning/caping allowed?
• Are Big Five sightings possible on your properties or nearby?
• Recommended 2027 dates for good bowhunting conditions for these species?

Thanks in advance to the outfitters who reply—looking forward to gathering info and planning this hunt.
