Almost all of your shots will come from shooting sticks so it is paramount that you familiarize yourself with sticks and practice over and over from them. Accurate shooting from sticks can be one of the most important parts of your safari. Practicing quick acquisition on sticks, and then making the shot from sticks is perhaps the most important preparation you could do when getting ready for your rifle hunt. Caliber and bullet selection are also an extremely important decision in your safari preparation. It’s best to speak to one of the outfitter's staff regarding the caliber and bullet you are planning to use as the team will guide you in the right direction depending on area and species being hunted.
In most areas hunting starts from a vehicle traversing roads looking for tracks, sign, or maybe even seeing the animals running off in the distance. From there the Hunter, PH, and tracker(s) will hunt on foot. Some stalks can go for miles while others only a few hundred yards. Good lightweight hunting boots with soft silent soles and quiet leather ankle gaiters are a requirement in the African Bush. No matter where you’re hunting in Africa one thing that remains constant is that African game is extremely tough. There have been endless debates as to the reason, but the most accepted seems to be the incredible amounts of predators across Africa and the tremendous natural selection that has taken place on the Dark Continent. Years of hunting these areas have equipped all of their staff with the knowledge and understanding to guide you through your first, second, or tenth African safari. No matter which country, or region, you are hunting with their team will help guide you through all aspects of your safari from travel, clothing, equipment, & whatever else may arise before, during or after your safari.
Equipment is very specific for areas and specie(s) being hunted. The best option is to speak directly with the outfitter before arriving, and they can set you up with the exact equipment to match your safari to what you want. Using the equipment they have tested can be the difference between a great hunt or a frustrating one. *In the other countries that they operate in, most hunting is done by walk and stalk, ambush, and/or temporary brush blinds. The hunting is challenging but extremely rewarding. Most of these areas are more suited for clients that have a safari or two under the belt and are moving on to the more challenging and unique African species. These are all custom safaris tailor made for your unique needs.
