    043 Packing for an Africa Bowhunting Safari

    043 Packing for an Africa Bowhunting Safari

    In this video you will see what I have packed in the past for one of my African Safaris. 16 Safaris later I'm and always still refining my packing list, plus each and every Safari has different variations from weather of time of hunt, the terrain of the hunt depending on some different gear so on so forth so you will see allot more videos on this subject from me in the future. This is not the end all be all. Simply just a starting point for you to start preparing for your own Safari. Cheers and happy hunting.

    042 All Africa hunts are NOT the same

    042 All Africa hunts are NOT the same

    I see it far to often someone goes on their first safari to South Africa or Namibia and they come back thinking they know all things Africa.

    They might of had a great trip over all but they might have not enjoyed the high fencesor the way the hunting was done, and leave there thinking this is how it all is

    or
    They might have had a bad trip and come home telling everyone why they hated it so much beacsue its all high fenced, all super small properties, and that they will never go back.

    Both people have a misconception of how it really is. Let me tell you why in this video.
