Mr. Johan Human of Buffelspan Safaris. Very happy with my recent 12 day hunt in Limpopo Province. Would gladly hunt with him and Buffelspan again.

Ken Ball and Nicol at Shiawela Safaris

Put me on 34 inch Waterbuck and saw alot more close to it's size.

4 waterbucks were taken on the trip (29 x 2, 31, 34) and all would have scored gold medals.
Along with 20 other animals!

Plus, you would be hard pressed to find better people. Ken and Jo and thier kids, Nicol and his wife thier little one, made our trip!

Will be going back soon!

Ewert Vorster at Sadaka Safaris. Based in N. Limpopo, I have hunted various concessions throughout S.A. with him.

I think it would be fair to say most people are happen with the PH that they hunt with Thats what a PH does for a living make people happy(if possible) with there hunting experience. three come to mind with me Lane's buddy Nigel very nice guy easy going hard working great to be in camp with. and as everyone knows Steve Robinson is not only my good friend but he was the PH on my first hunt in Africa. If there is a better human on the planet with as good a since of humor I have not meet him. Phillip of Karamoja safari's is right there with Steve in my opinion. and If possible I will hunt with Aub458-Aubrey and Luan asap there both great guys to. I think ph's are some of the most talented people with there ability to work with some many different personalities a ego's. God bless all of them for making our sport possible for the rest of use

Dale "Donza "Desfountains of Brooklands Wildlife Safaris will work his butt off on lion,leopard,buff etc, Also hunts Choks (Hwange) and Gono re Zhou for ele. Fun guy.....he does his damndest to see that all bullets in the beast are yours, but is always ready to help if truly necessary. He stops in Great Falls every January and loves to have fun while doing business.Very calm under pressure. "Jim, its the way of things" was a frequently offered phrase on our grueling and highly successful lion hunt. Jim

I second your choice of Frank Bowker.

If you were hunting (i) tuskless and (ii) leopard in Zim who would the goto PH's be?

Buzz Charlton

He probably takes more tuskless than any other PH in Africa each year and has a phenomenal success rate - but if you don't like to get up close to your quarry, you might think about someone else. Check out his best-selling video, "Hunting the African Elephant" with a forward by Richard Harland and interviews with the likes of Ian Nyschens and Harland. Buzz's Instructional Elephant Hunting Video


Buzz Charlton spying game near Dande North

And his leopard hunters had 100% success this season with some monster-sized cats being taken. He now operates the Dande North concession, which used to be Chifuti Safari's. If you're looking for elephant, buffalo, and leopard, Dande is arguably the most game rich hunting concession in Zimbabwe. Some great plains game, too.

In addition to being a superb PH, Buzz is also a fine person with a great sense of humor - a perfect companion for a week or three hunting in Africa.

Charlton McCallum Safaris Website

Too many pages to read all the names of real TOP QUALITY PH"s......so I'm going to vote for myself !!!!!!!!!!!!

Neil for president!!!!!!

Stand down Bob, here I come !!!!!!!!!!

Andy Hunter would be a good choice amongst many.

Leopard would be Wayne Bartlett(he has 93 under his belt and knows what he is doing) Tuskless would be Buzz Charlton, Gordon Duncan or Terry Anders.

Gary Duckworth would be a good all rounder and certainly Andy Hunter is top notch

With only 4 safaris under my belt, I can say very good things about Gomez Adams in Zim and Dave Pearson in South Africa. Each for different reasons, but both for their hard work and fine time.

Jannie Meyer
Sephen Meyer
George Hallamore
all top notch

i have hunted with jan visser in namabia, he very good ph. lee barnett

ditto on the Meyers outstanding PH's

I recommend Tim Lamprecht of Jimba Safaris that I hunted with in the Sij last year. I also recommend Hasanali Lakak, with Hilary Daffi Safaris of Tanzania. With Hasanali I took a 52# elephant and a beautiful old lion.

Lindon Stanton of Mbalabala & Martin Pieters Safaris Zimbabwe.

IAN GOSS

MARK SULLIVAN

One who is a legend in Zimbabwe, and who has recently started posting on AR, is Doug Kok. I have hunted with him in Zimbabwe and Mozambique and he is a pleasure to spend time with in the bush.

Boet van Aarde in Zimbabwe.
Outstanding, hard working old school PH with whom I have succesful experience since 2001 when I shot my first elephant with him in the Gona re Zhou area.

The same fellow 3 different countries:

Nigel Theisen

This pair is not too shabby.

Mr John Sharp is the consummate professional.

My friend, Brent Hein.

Three safaris with Brent, three elephants, all good!

Two safaris with Brent, Nine elephant and one buff. Very hard worker.

My personal N° 1 for 22 years is Francesco "Franco" Morescalchi in Ethiopia. 99% success on Mountain Nyala and a wonderful individual. 100% tremendously enjoyed hunting with him.

I have just had the good fortune to spend some good hunting time in Mozambique with three more great Zimbabwean PH's.
I would not hesitate to recommend these guys.
In no order as Follows;

Paul Wellock

Matt Hully-Miller

Ryan Cliffe.

Paul with one of his Trackers;

zirk roeloffse great ph and outfitter good story teller andcomedian in camp. zahuntingsafaris .co.za

Gareth Flemix of Botswana. Outstanding ethics, dedication to the fair chase hunt and amazingly hard working. Two safaris were enough to convice me of his true professionalism.

Paul

For plainsgame, Jan du Plessis of Sebra Safaris is the best. Here's my 55" kudu from August 2012:



Here's a 41" gemsbok also from August 2012:



Lastly, here's a georgeous zebra from the same hunt:

Alan Shearing in Zim. Extremely professional and easy to get along with, with exceptional knowledge of the flora and fauna.

Frik and Louis Muller, owners of Pro safaris africa are based in Bulawayo. I first hunted with
Frik Sn. in 1988 and have been back 7 times since and going again next year. A first class operation, they have a web site. just google pro safaris africa.You won't be dissapointed. Dande Jack
