Testimonial
For someone who wasn’t interested in going to Africa back in 2019 when the trip was first planned, I think my dad’s hooked. Again without a shadow of a doubt I’d suggest anyone to hunt with James, Welsh and William. I had an amazing hunt and time with them and just need to figure out when/how I’m going to head back. I personally really enjoyed the walking style of hunting rather than being in a truck and then stalking when we’d find something. It let us get a lot deeper into areas and see plenty of game we’d have never seen from the roads or in a truck. It also let us get a lot closer to many of these animals since we were walking with the wind in our face. Would love to hunt some of their other concessions in Zimbabwe or Botswana and experience some of the other areas James has been able to guide or hunt in.
