Having hunted with Cheetah Safaris, I chose Sable Safaris for my elephant
bow-hunt because I wanted Pieter Bothma to be my PH and back-up. It was that
simple. A bow-hunt for elephant was certain to include moments of up-close,
split second decision making and I trusted Pieter with the task. Sable
Safaris worked at planning the elephant bow-hunt and found a hunting area
near Kafue National Park with a CITES permit. We had a good plan, hunted
hard, and at the end of a week’s hunting, and several exciting stalks, we
got close to a good bull for a bow shot. The old bull charged us in a
thicket and Pieter did the needful, from 8 yards. Sometimes hunts don’t go
as planned, that is part of hunting, but the test for the PH is how they
handle the situation. I will go back and we’ll try again. We were
successful on Sable, taking a great trophy with just a few days left in the
hunt. Cheetah and Sable Safaris are great experiences in Africa, that leave
you dreaming of going back!
