I've seen several interesting comments (and threads) on Internet forums referring to Outfitter Pricing... "Package hunt or all carte?... "You pay what you get for...", "You do not get what you pay for...", "Cheaper hunts do not necessarily equals an inferior experience..." And several more...

I posted this article on another forum earlier this year so for those who read the "other" forum and those from AH who visited us this year and heard the story first-hand my apologies for the duplication... She named him "Conan"… Now how on Earth a baby Mongoose reminded her of Conan the...

I have seen several threads on various hunting forums over the last few weeks that sparked my interest... Some of these threads related to so-called "rising prices" and others to "pay per inch" pricing... There seems to be a perception that Outfitters are doing business for two reasons...

Now this has little to do with African hunting but it has to do with the compassion and generosity of an individual who is a member here and who will hopefully by this time next year be an African Hunter... Jerome, forgive me if this post is inappropriate in this forum but as I'm writing this...

The RIGHT Elephant This is an updated (original) version of an article of mine that was published in the January 2013 edition of Man Magnum Magazine. I was excited when my friend (and client whom we'll call "Joe") from Germany called me up and booked a short notice Elephant hunt with me. Joe...

I've been reading / participating in various hunting-related internet forums over the years and share some of Peleton's views recently posted on another thread... Thankfully; AfricaHunting.com has become a haven for those who are more than "armchair experts", trolls, a-holes etc, etc... Over...

Folks, A fire gutted a large part of our house and one vehicle day before yesterday and my laptop + external hard drive was destroyed in the process. At this point it seems that I have lost all electronic communications save for the emails that is still on my server and which I hope to get...

Wanted to share this picture of an elephant we got next to Kruger National Park a week ago... Client used my Ruger .375H&H for the first two shots - neither of which going where they were supposed to go and we ended up tracking the bull the rest of the day and most of the next day. Finally got...

Got a nice surprise when I checked my Hyena bait yesterday morning... This fella has been coming in every night for the last month or more. And night before last another unexpected visitor came by: Can a Hyena change its "spots"? Cheers,

Two days ago I was getting ready to celebrate my Birthday by chasing Cape Kudu here in the Eastern Cape with Derek (Diamondhitch here on the forum)... My wife was up early too and presented me with her gift to me... I was quite surprised when I saw the contents - a full box of .458 LOTT rounds...

Please let me have opinions...

Shortly after I took the "bold leap into the unknown" and started my safari company - now almost 10 years ago - I was introduced to a successful Outfitter (since passed) from my region who, when he heard about my endeavour, asked me an interesting question: "What is the state of your...

His First Hunt A few years ago one night next to the campfire an idea was born to start offering Aï½­frican Summer Camps for children from abroad and we set the wheels in motion to present our first Adventure Trip to a group of Spanish school children. The itinerary/ curriculum for the...

Hi all, Something that I noticed when looking at B&W photos taken of some of the legends in the safari industry was the different poses that were used - especially those with the hunters sitting on top of their elephants... I know that some find these poses disrespectful towards the animals...

Some of you might have noticed my tag line… “Better than sitting in an Office!” Well, over and above the obvious (I mean hunting is better than sitting in the office isn’t it) there are other reasons for using this line… Before making a career out of hunting I worked for a “boss” and spent...

At the end of last year a friend of mine went on a 10 day bear hunt in Alaska at a Daily Rate of $1,000 per day... When he booked his hunt his requirements /requests were quite clear... He wanted to hunt his bear while it was busy fishing for Salmon in one of the rivers... For this reason he...
