Planning a new adventure in SA

[suzanne donaldson]

Hello everyone.
My name is Suzie
It's been several years, since I stepped upon Africas soil. Wondering how it is these days.
Hoping to plan a trip hunting trip for Aug 2017. Any new advice would be appreciated please.
Thanks.

Welcome I think you will find hunting SA to be as good as ever and a buyers market right now still. Many great outfits to pick from and so many great animals to go after. Good luck in your search and enjoy the site.

Hello Suzie and Welcome!

You will have no problem with getting lots of knowledgeable advice here. Can you be more elaborate as to what you are looking for on your next safari? Different species, different location, plainsgame, dangerous game, rifle hunting, bow hunting, family safari, etc...?

August 2017 is doable, but that it peak season in most locations. I would get busy in your research and planning.

Hi. Thanks
Sadly August is the only time I have. Well actually last week of July till back end of August.
Work gets in the way any other time
Not sure what I want to hunt. Last hunt I had a beautiful Kudu. Blesbok and Boar
Definitely want a nice Imparla the rest I've not a clue
Heading to Pretoria. Then KN Possibly Pietermaritzburg.

There are some good deals out there. This safari season was a little slow for many Africa outfitters. Politics in the USA has slowed some hunters. The large drop in oil has affected many others. So many places have some great deals to fill their calender's and take off the animals that they need to. Some areas of RSA and Namibia have had some drought for a couple of yrs. Then they need to feed or take off extra animals. All in all its a good time to go. Good luck. Bruce

I went this past august- end of the month into sept. I changed my plans at the beginning of August to a different outfitter and had no problem getting in. I wouldn't suggest waiting that long but I don't think there is a huge rush to get booked right off. It seemed like a great time of year to me and I had a blast. Good luck, hope you have a great hunt!
