General Hunting Safari Information
Be thorough when researching your outfitter and professional hunter. Make sure that you can trust your professional hunter with your life and your outfitter with your money! You should be confident that your chosen safari company will look out for your best interests; not where they can make the most money or where they want you to hunt. Not all safari companies are created equal and there are major differences in what may appear to be similar hunting experiences. Allow us the opportunity to explain and prove to you what sets Bullet Safaris apart from the competition.
You book with us and you hunt or tour with us. It's that simple. We don't take a cut of your payment and send you down the line to hunt with another operator or professional hunter (like most Americans in the safari business). We have the expertise and professionalism to offer you the best experience. Contact us to realize the difference and give yourself a chance at the best Africa has to offer.
Many safari operators are in the business of telling you what you want to hear and not the true facts of the situation. We believe that leaving out information or parts of the truth is the same as lying. After we evaluate your safari goals and what's important to you, we go to work presenting you with various options. We will tell you the ups and downs of each option and help you to make an educated decision about your trip. After our safari goals are set we will plan and arrange all the logistics of your trip while keeping you up to date on the details.
HUNTING
Decide which animals you would like to hunt. Then we will have to pick a location that will suit your individual requirements.
South Africa - Here we can hunt virtually any animal. Practically all hunting farms are fenced and they privately owned. The concessions that we hunt in South Africa are very large and considered fair chase conditions; not all operators are as selective in choosing their hunting areas. I have personally inspected all properties and we know which properties produce the best trophy quality for your desired species. South Africa offers the most comfortable and logistically sound safaris. All types of dangerous game are available in South Africa. For most clients hunting the Big Four (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo) in South Africa is not the best way to go. The experience of hunting these animals is better suited to the large government concessions in Tanzania and Mozambique. For quality plains game animals, moderate to easy hunting conditions, variety of activities, ease of travel and logistic, fantastic food and lodging - South Africa is the way to go.
Mozambique – This beautiful country is still on the rebound from its 27 year civil war. The country is now safe and we have been hunting here without trouble for 6 years. The people and the government are happy to have us in the country and very helpful. This is not the ideal destination for most first timers to Africa. The areas are big and remote. I love hunting in Mozambique! We have consistently taken excellent quality animals out of the areas that we hunt. The Safaris here take extra time and elbow grease. With this being said we prepare accordingly for your hunt in Mozambique. We start the ground work well in advance of your arrival by scouting and pre-baiting.
Tanzania – The finest big game hunting destination in the world. Tanzania has it all! Remote areas, luxury tented camps, variety of species, and quality of animals make this country the premier destination for big game hunting. On average, these safaris come with the highest price tag, but if you are looking for a dangerous game hunt or a full bag safari your money is best spent here. The variety and quality of animals are well worth the cost.
TOURING
Touring safaris are set up with the same philosophy as our hunting safaris. We custom design your trip around your desires. We do not dish out cookie cutter tours, every one is designed with a single person or group in mind.
From the wine lands and coast of the Eastern Cape to Victoria Falls and the Zambezi River; Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to The Kruger National Park in South Africa, luxury safaris to ‘roughing it' – we offer it all!
Hunting and touring often go hand in hand. Don't rob yourself of the beautiful park and natural wonders that Africa has to offer. We set up and conduct multiple touring safaris through out our season in Africa.
