I founded Big Game Hunting Adventures specifically to pair hunters like YOU with great outfitters in Africa. All the guys I work with are the real deal and will set you up with a great hunt. I’ll be hunting with my South Africa outfitter next summer. This will be my 5th trip to Africa and I’ve been to Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. I’ve never had a bad hunt in Africa, but I can honestly say that these guys in South Africa are by far the best I’ve ever hunted with and I guarantee they’ll treat you right. 

So, if you’ve always dreamed about an African safari, then this is the outfitter you need to check out for both plains game and cape buffalo hunting. I’ll be having a great hunt there next summer with my dad and there’s no reason why you can’t either. Visit BigGameHuntingAdventures.com to learn more.
