SOUTH AFRICA: Jannie Otto Safaris - Cannot Recommend

[Flying.Parrott]

I’ve only been to Africa once and it was an auction hunt. I understood going in that adding days or animals was a nice courtesy to the outfitter.

My hunt was 6 days and included a blue and a black wildebeest. Due to scheduling conflicts we couldn’t add any days, but I did shoot 5 additional animals.

My experience was very different than yours, and I’m sorry you experienced that. But I would call my PH a friend and we have stayed in communication since my hunt in August.

Why I would never do an auction hunt.

Looks like Jannie is still working hard to refuse accountability and blame others! After ignoring my messages for over 2 months where I attempted to find a resolution and avoid being forced to do a credit card chargeback, Jannie has now messaged to threaten to sue me for having posted my truthful and accurate review. Guess he doesn't like light being shown on his actions.

I do hope many people see this and do not book with him. There are way too many good operations, including so many of the advertisers & outfitters here, to waste time and money with a poor experience at Jannie Otto.

He could show up here and share his point of view, in a professional and respectful discourse….. Seems easier than a lawsuit….
