In this bonus episode we will be talking about a topic that cannot be over-emphasized. Practice. It may seem rudimentary, but I'm telling you because of all the practice we did, we came to Africa more confidently than I have ever approached any other hunt. In this episode we will break down exactly what we did, the drills, the numbers, and why we did all of it.

Since our recent episodes about safari and Africa we had a lot of inquiries about booking, travel logistics, and just some general guidelines about do's and don'ts for international hunts. Look, I get it. If you haven't done it, it can seem intimidating but with the right preparation it is very doable.  I hope you find this helpful and if any of you have more questions or think I didn't cover something, reach out   email us: [email protected]

In this special bonus episode we will dive into the untold hunting story of Lacey's Nyala from our recent safari in Zululand.
