SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Bayete Group?

[Royal27]

fair enough?

Is what fair enough? You haven't actually said anything and just seem to be spamming with the same clip out, several of which have been removed.

Nice Gemsbok.

Ohh we were super satisfied with the hunt!! We had an absolute Blast and we are plan on going back soon!!!! But it is too bad that this sort of stuff happens. Frustrating for our entire family... Take care.

This is all very concerning. I am part of a group of 8 that is ready to go in March 2020. I hope the trip goes well...

I would not go through the Bayete Group. My family is out over 25 thousand dollars and Bayete has done nothing over the last 9 months to get this situation resolved. I think they already burned through the money and do not intend to pay Kuche Safari... With that being said we had an awesome Trip!!! Kuche Safari took care of us all hands down. Amazing! It was the post trip that turned out to be a real bummer. It sucks when you find out that you have been ripped off by a Utah based company. If anything pay with a credit card. That way at least you have some support if Bayete rips you off like they did us...Honestly, I would go straight through Kuche Safari... the animals/PHs/ facility they had were amazing!! Even with all of this crap that Bayete is putting us through we are planning our next trip with Kuche....

10 months since we canceled our trip due to unforeseen circumstances, still no refund on deposit. now they are not answering texts, emails or phone calls.

@duckman90 what say you on all of this?

Hi Guys,

I think the Statute of Limitations is up, but yes. Bayete got sideways, and then Covid Killed effectively them, from my understanding. I have worked with all of my clients to recover Trophies, but they pushed me out before it got bad… I lost about $50,000 in commissions and more from expenses, I did recoup some cost but it was at a lost. I was also almost detained in Namibia for non-payment or game fees… that’s a fun story for another day.

I know that there are still clients looking to recover their deposits. My understanding is that St. J is working at a Subaru dealership in Salt Lake.

I am working with two of our land owners directly now and will be returning to africa in May for the first time sense 2019.

I do apologies to anyone that had a bad experience, I still to this day do not know where the money went, it makes no sense to me as to how that much money could just disappear like it did.

It's easy to make money disappear. Ask Elon Musk. 44 Billion wasn't it?

South African Government also up there with the best. I think they're defending world champions.
