Anyone know anything about this company InAfricaSafaris? I have a client going with them and would just like some info good or bad or indifferent. He got the hunt at a DU auction. I tried a search for a website and came up short. Thanks, ryan. | ||

Ryan, Don't know them myself, but here's a link to a report from someone who bow and rifle hunted with them: http://www.american-hunter.com/Africa/InAfrica_Safaris.htm Regards, Tim | |||

Is it common for bow hunters to be left on their own in blinds without a Ph present? You are left to judging the game on your own? ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | |||

I think it's common but, as I understand it, at least in South Africa, it's illegal for a nonresident to hunt without a PH present. | |||

Thanks guys! Those prices do seem high for plains game. Why is that? I've never been to africa, but I read a lot of reports here and go on a lot of outfitter websites. Does it have to do with location, high fenced/free range? Again thanks. Ryan | |||

Ryan, take a look at this Hunt Report: https://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/...=727109831#727109831 I have observed that companies that "donate" a lot of hunts tend to have higher trophy fees then average. $3,050.00 for a kudu, a "must have" on most 1st time hunters list...wow. | |||

Inafrica does indeed donate a LOT of hunts, especially to SCI chapter banquets and has been doing so for 15 plus years. i have noticed that they typically go for really low prices and are usually are for 2-4 hunters. my guess is they try to make up for the low percentage payback they receive from SCI by charging outrageous trophy fee( the donations usually include only 2-3 cheap animals). i have no idea about the overall operation- just an observation on how they do business.

I don’t know about the South African part of Inafrica but one thing for sure they have no official quota, besides this, it is illegal to sell PAC hunts in Mozambique! The prices are ridiculous but perhaps include the legal fees and bribes to get you out of Mozambique? Cheers | |||

I think most of us remember the fiasco created by Out Of Africa with their criminal practices. Has this got anything to do with them? You know, one was OUT and one is IN? Just curious, as the "donations" part seem to fit. | |||

i ran into them at a show a couple years back. My impression was that they were a bunch of sharpies with more hooks attached to a line than the fish could bite on | |||

Does anyone know anything about the taxidermy coming out of there? The site is rather poor if you ask me. He's thinking of leaving his trophies their to be mounted, but I'm skeptical of their quality. I've done elk, muleys, and a turkey for him but never african. Not saying I can do better, but I'd point him in the right direction here in the states. They have no website showing their work or prices. | |||

Some companies are very expensive and that may be justifiable or it may not be. It mostly depends on what they have to the client...Some outfits go beyond luxury with spas, some offer some very large trophy animals they raised to make the book, and Lord knows what all, it seems the skys the limit on some of these outfits and it goes beyond hunting. I can say the same for some Texas Deer hunts, there deer stands are larger than my home... I have not booked for these folks but I do know them by reputation or at least I have only heard good things about them and its pretty luxurias I understand... If they can get that kind of money more power to them, they must be doing something right or they wouldn't have been around this long.. I asked my dad one time how he could get $20,000 for a horse and he told me "you price him at $20,000" Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||

I hunted with them about 5 years ago (DU auction) and bought the hunt very cheap so all the money they made was in trophy fees, which were not out of line then. They are well organized and I can't complain about my guide or the services they provided. It's a very nice place to take younger children and the game is about average to better if you are willing to hunt. They have a number of ranches they use besides their own. I took my wife there and she enjoyed it. We took a side trip to Kruger with them and it was a great time at very reasonable cost. It is not Tanzania nor Zimbabwe and I wouldn't hunt dangerous game there e.g. buffalo but for plains game it was fine.It is not associated with the "Out of Africa" bunch to my knowledge. As for taxidermy, I wouldn't leave anything anywhere I've been in Africa. There's no comparison to the work done here by reputable taxidermists and I don't believe you save anything. Would I hunt with them again? Only if I wanted a very safe, pleasant place to take my grandchildren and do some fun hunting for plains game.I hope this helps. | |||

I dont want to step on anyones toes here, as obviously I have not seen them all but I agree with the above. I have never seen taxidermy work done in Africa that was better than below average compared to the taxidermists in the states that have actually hunted african animals and seen them alive. I am sure that there must be some good taxidermists there but, like I said, I have not seen them. Maybe it has something to do with the supplies available to them, that are maybe more available or less expensive here. I hazzard to say that I would never leave trophies to be mounted in Africa.  6x NFR Qualifier NFR Champion Reserve World Champion Bareback Rider PRCA Million Dollar Club 02' Salt Lake Olympic Qualifier and an all around good guy! | |||

I hunted with them in 2000. The hunt was bought at a SCI auction. The 10 day hunt came out to about $1000.00 each plus trophy fees. At that time their trophy fees were a little higher than others I looked at, but they were not WAY higher like they are now. They got quite a bit of TV coverage several years ago on Steve Scott's show that I would guess led to the price increases. They have also expanded their home ranch and increased the concessions that they hunt. When I was there, it was a family operation with dad (Bohr?) and #1 son (Kon) running the hunting and daughter running the taxidermy which was done at the home ranch. The home ranch at that time was 8,000 acres under high fence. All of the animals the 4 of us shot were good representative animals, but no exceptional trophies. My animals included a 49 +" Kudu, 32" Gemsbok, 25" Waterbuck, 14" Limpopo bushbuck, 24" Impala, and 27+" Blue wildebeest. The home ranch had a nice, comfortable lodge and hunter cabins. Food was great. The guides and Kon worked hard to get us our animals. NRA Endowment Life Member | |||
