SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Boschnel Safaris?

[Michael Abbott]

I'm planning a hunt with boschnel safaris in April of 2021. I wanted to see what to expect this is the first trip to Africa.

First of all I'll start by welcoming you to AH. Its the best web site for african hunters annd hunting. I have not hunted with Boschnel nor do I recall hearing of them. It appears that they hunt or arrange for hunts in a number of different countries. If I may ask, have you already booked your hunt with them? If so, what country are you booked to hunt in? What I can tell you is that they have a decent web site. It appears that most of the animals shown there are decent trophy quality. They claim to hunt 200,000 acres across africa. Might make sure which concession your hunting and travel time from camp.
I also got a hit for them on book your hunt. It shows several packages. All were good prices. If they do what they say they will then it would seem to be worth the dollars. Good luck. Hopefully someone here has hunted with them and will tell us about their experiences.

Hey Michael, I'm going to hunt with Boschnel in July and am curious how your hunt went in 21. I'm taking my family on their first safari for plains game. My second.

Hi I can vouch for them. Solid outfitter.

I know this is a dated post, but I stumbled across BoschNel. First rate outfitter, with even better people. They are honest and have the utmost integrity…from up front pricing with no surprises to doing things the right way, nobody should have any qualms booking with these guys. I can’t echo (and do) recommend them to anybody looking for a safari, whether that be a first-timer’s general bag of plainsgame to any of the Big Five or specialized species. Based in South Africa, Brendan also holds PH licenses and hunts in other sub-Saharan countries. In fact, he’s on an ele hunt in Zim as we speak.

Since this is back up top I’ll throw in mine experience. I’ve hunted with Boschnel on three separate trips and am working out my wish list for a fourth trip in 2027.
I originally picked them after talking with the team at DSC and then doing some follow up research online and through YouTube - everything checked out so I booked and have been very happy every trip.

The team is not pushy, they will tell you to pass a lot of animals to really find a proper old bull - and we took several top quality animals. I’ve hunted the Lowveld, Northern Cape, Kalahari, and Zimbabwe with Boschnel so far.
We’ve taken for Great Plains game, a very nice croc, 4 of the big 5, and seen a lot of very cool things.

Typo I missed in my original post...my toddler daughter was distracting me, so I goofed it. At any rate, I meant to type "I can and do recommend..."
