Hello - Does anyone have any feedback on Crusader Safari's with Chris Broster and Andrew Pringle out of SA? Ran a search but nothing came up. Just doing some homework.

Greg RWe book for them. Good outfit with big, unfenced areas.

Crusader Safari's
They hunt in the Umkomaas valley, about an hour from my family farm, which I can highly recommend. Because of the nature of the place it is virtually one big unfenced reserve where farmers try to coexist with the game. It is pretty rough though so don't expect an easy hunt but its about as rewarding as it gets.
There are good Kudu and Nyala in the area and plenty of Bushbuck. This old hunting preserve was first protected by our old settler families who mostly hunted bushbuck there on driven hunts. I still have some of them on the wall here in my home that were mounted 100 years back.
I dont know Chris or Andrew personally but from what I read on their website they are the kind of hunters I would reccomend.
Good hunting

John in Virginia USAI can't say enough great things about Chris and Andrew. Went with them in 2007 and again this past July. I'll probably go again. They have a booth at the SCI show if you can get there I visit with them every February at the Harrisburg, PA outdoor show. In 2007 I took a great/old Kudu with Andrew and he will work hard for you and it is a tough hunt (if you can keep up with him) - This year I got a 14" warthog and a beautiful Nyala in the Natal - along with a surprise Bush pig but the best was a 18" Bushbuck - took us three days to get me my bushbuck finally.
Talk to them they are great
(and I don't get paid for this endorsment)
