HUNT: South Africa Archery Plains Game Hunting Safari
August, 2017
It was a Great learning experience for both of us, as I was one of the first Traditional bowhunters they had at camp. They were extremely interested in my equipment (from my longbow to my stone arrowheads) and how to set up hunts for future Traditional bowhunters. WOULDN’T CHANGE A THING!
It was a Great Learning curve from how the Plains Game of South Africa would react to a shot with my longbow and shot placement on my end to preparation for shots and shot distances on game as my chosen gear is slower than most of today’s bowhunting gear. But whether spot and stalk or a blind at a water hole the guides were willing and able to pursue the game as you wanted.
Blinds had plenty of room for myself and my PH as well as roomy enough for me to shoot my 64″ Longbow.
Many times as a Traditional Bowhunter, outfitters prefer that you use a compound or crossbow and reach out 40 to 60 yards for your trophies. But they just adapted some strategies to fit my Equipment. It truly was an Awesome experience from my very old Impala Ram I took at 8 yard to my Huge 12 year old Kudu Bull that toted 52 5/8 inch horns spiraling above his head that offered me a 16 yard shot. I can not say enough about these guys and am planning another trip as we speak to take more Traditional Hunters to Africa.

- What would you like to see us offer or do more of or do differently? Offer some hunts that are not so trophy related. There are several folks like me that don’t need a giant set of antlers or skull for it to be a trophy. Thus making something also more affordable, I would love the opportunity at a 3×3 elk or a paddle horned moose. I don’t need 70″ to be successful or 350″+ bull.
- Will you book another trip with us in the future? Absolutely

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.
This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.
We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.
Thank you,

What an amazing experience!
The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
