My wife and I are planning a trip to RSA for sightseeing and bowhunting after Christmas. Plans are to arrive on 12/26 in JNB at 4:30 PM and depart JNB on 1/3 that night. My wife has never been and we will both be bowhunting, however, she has several sightseeing adventures she wants to do as 1/2 day trips if possible.

*Jessica the Hippo
*Pet an elephant :)/Rehabilitation Center
*Hot Air Balloon Ride (If possible)
*Kruger National Park

As far as bowhunting, I'd like to focus on buffalo and bushpig. Possibly baboon, steenbok.
She wants to hunt warthog and blue wildebeest. Possibly Impala and bushpig.

**Depending on time we might add more animals.**

We have inquired about this hunt with another outfit but due to our tight schedules, we'd like to get a couple quotes just in case the other doesn't work out. I will be asking how large the area is we will hunt buffalo on. The larger the better when it comes to game fence.
Thanks, Ryan
 
Dec-Jan timeframe is smack in the middle of summer in the southern hemisphere, not the ideal time to hunt in RSA. It can be done, but it will be hot.
 
Not a good time to be hunting Africa. Hot weather, Christmas season & many of the reputable outfitters will be journeying to the US for the hunting shows.
 
Hi Ryan

That is a very short trip with some diverse requests.

As the other members have pointed out, it will not be pleasant to hunt that time of the year due to the heat.
 
Perhaps you could get in some fishing......................FWB

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
