If you’ve listened to all my podcast episodes on Africa and really paid attention to what Kevin, Phil, and I had to say, then you probably know WAY more about hunting in Africa than most other people.

If you’re ready to take the plunge and go on the hunt of a lifetime in Africa, then get in touch with me and I’ll set you up with an outstanding hunt out in the bushveld for buffalo and/or plains game. 

These hunts are for serious hunters who want to experience wild Africa. These hunts are not for everybody and I actually have to turn away people who are interested in hunting with us each year because I don’t think they can hack it.

But, if you’re a serious hunter looking for a true African hunting Adventure, check out Big Game Hunting Adventures (or visit BestSafariHunt.com) and we’ll get you set up with that hunt you’ve always dreamed of. 

Mention that you heard about Big Game hunting Adventures through the Big Game Hunting Podcast for special pricing on all our hunts.

The 458 Win Mag and 458 Lott are wonderful cartridges for all sorts of hunting, to include an African safari for plains game and especially for cape buffa
