If you have time, tell me about your hunt. Did you hunt 1 property or many? which lodge did you stay at? Did you hunt many different blinds? Was the PH with you or did you have a radio? How many animals and species did you see everyday? Thank you..I had a great hunt with Limcroma last year.
We do have 2 dedicated bow areas, but also hunt bow on our gun areas aswell, depending on the species you would like to hunt.Thank you for contacting me. I looked at your website and there isnt anything about bowhunting. Do you gun hunt and bow hunt on the same property?
We are looking for a list of great destinations for Bowhunting in South Africa.
I second the recommendation for Limcroma Safaris. Hands down, the best bowhunting outfitter I have ever hunted with in Africa or otherwise... Hannes owns several huge private bow-only properties, and the majority of his PHs are all avid bowhunters themselves. They cover all the small details that really make a difference.

You will have a great hunt with Dries, Do you know who your PH will be? We were there last month and had a great trip, Can I send you some dog treats to take over for Charlie?I plan on hunting with the top bow hunting only operations over there in the future so this is an interesting thread. I have hunted with Dries Visser multiple times and will be hunting with him again in a couple of weeks along with another trip to Bushmen Safaris who I visited in 2021. I hunted with African Arrow last year. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these.
Looking forward to hearing about your hunt! I assume you are back now?I have been happy with my experiences at African Barefoot Safaris, wheels up August 4 for my 3rd hunt.
I have heard many good things from folks who loved their hunts with Limcroma, Bushmen Safaris, Bush Africa Safaris, and African Arrow. They are all South Africa based.
There are a variety of outfitters in Botswana and Namibia, as well.
Jason Stone Safaris and African Bowhunting Adventures organize bow hunts throughout all of Southern Africa and seem to have good reputations. I believe Butch Coaton has quite a bit of experience guiding bowhunters in Zimbabwe as well.
I personally have found that outfitters who say they accommodate bowhunting as they are bowhunters themselves are very much not the same thing as outfitters who specialize in bowhunting.
I have been back about a week and I’m planning to get the report up this weekendLooking forward to hearing about your hunt! I assume you are back now?
Hi Adipose,You will have a great hunt with Dries, Do you know who your PH will be? We were there last month and had a great trip, Can I send you some dog treats to take over for Charlie?
Its so hard getting info on these places these days. I am interested in bowhunting info, the story, what the day will be like, average shot, if gun hunters are on the property etc. Most of the places that contact me do not even show bowhunting on the website or pictures of the blinds or size of the property. It is tough getting info.
We spend a lot of money, my trip to Dries last month with flights was over 100K, I just got the dipping invoice at 3K and the animals have not shipped yet. So this is why we ask questions. Was it worth it, well hell yes! but we want to make sure if we choose another outfitter it is more than an American spending money, but a trip that is amazing. I went to Bushmen many times, They are also a great place, and I hope to return one day to the first place I went back in the early 90's. African Arrow also is on my Radar and I hope to see them at SCI in January. I am looking forward to hearing about your trip.
Hi, No worries, I am sure you at least got to give my friend Charlie a bit of attention. Looking forward to hearing about your trip, 2 great places for sure.Hi Adipose,
Sorry I didn't see this before I left as I would have been happy to take over those treats. I will do a report soon on both my Bushmen and Dries Visser trips. If you look back at last year you can find my trip report on African Arrow.
