In their words
The hunters who came, and came back.
The best measure of a hunt is whether a stranger leaves as a friend. Here is what they had to say.
A lifetime of friendship has started with our first hunt in South Africa. Experiences in life are very important to me, and I would say you nailed it! We have a great wish list for future trips and we look forward to many more with you.

Thank you for such an amazing trip! After 4 trips to Africa, I mean it when I say you made the 5th one my favourite! I really appreciate how kind and open you are, and also how supportive and positive you are every day. We killed some amazing animals and had a lot of smiles and laughs! I already can't wait for next time!

This has been my most memorable trip to Africa yet. Finally, someone as passionate about bowhunting as myself. Thank you for going above and beyond my expectations. As I write this on my last night here, I am filled with sorrow knowing I will leave tomorrow, but also overwhelmed with joy that my list was completed thanks to you. See you soon my friend!

By far the best hunting trip of my life! Fulfilled a lifelong dream of killing a free-range Cape buffalo. Thanks again for organizing 3 trips in one hunting adventure. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the food to the hunt and everything in between. We will be back!

I cannot speak highly enough of African Bowhunting Adventures! From the moment we arrived, Danie Geel and his incredible team made us feel right at home. The lodge was absolutely stunning, and the spot-and-stalk bushbuck hunt in the Limpopo River Valley was the best hunting experience of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch hunting experience.

Danie, this safari was a dream come true! I don't think we could've had a better time even if we tried, and I am so happy we were able to bring the kids along this time. From the leopard to the croc, to the hippo and everything in between, these are memories we will have for a lifetime. Here's to many more!

What an amazing trip you took me on! I will never forget my first experiences in Africa. The animals and the landscape were everything I thought they would be, but the laughs, high fives and crying (mostly on my part, haha) are the things that truly made it special. The work and dedication to your craft truly shines through. Here is to many more together in the future.

What an amazing trip! I hope you know how much this trip meant to me. The kudu reaction kind of says it all, and I cannot wait to come back again. A 46-inch sable, dang dude! Definitely glad I was able to get dad's dream animal with you!

Danie, we are family now. Thank you for being you and for the best adventure of my life. This has been such a great experience!

Danie, thank you so much for making Christian and my first African hunting adventure truly amazing! The variety of wildlife that we were able to see was unreal. Our weather presented some challenges, but you helped us adapt amazingly well, ending the week with beautiful animals.

Thank you for giving it your all this week. I have never been on another hunt where a guide worked as hard as you. I will always remember how special this hunt was, and I can't wait to come back and get after it again!

What an adventure you have taken me on. I don't know how you orchestrated such a perfect trip, from Mozambique to Limpopo to the Northern Cape. Everything was top notch. You taught me so much about the amazing country and helped me fulfill lifelong dreams harvesting beautiful trophies. Not only that, but you showed me great friendship, and one that I am sure will last a lifetime!

Danie, 10 days in South Africa passed in the blink of an eye! Thank you for an unforgettable trip. Your passion for bowhunting is infectious and we are all in. Your knowledge of the continent coupled with your bowhunting expertise created the most perfect experience, better than what we could have imagined! So glad that we met, and for the lifetime of friendship we have ahead of us. We created some special memories these past days across sand dunes and mountains. I know we have many more adventures ahead! Thank you for everything.

This trip has been incredibly exciting! I don't know why, but I thought it was going to be easy. SA quickly taught me otherwise! You've put a lot of work into this short hunt to make it as successful as it was. I have had the pleasure to learn from you this week, and take that to become a better hunter. I will forever remember this hunt and use it as motivation to be the best bowhunter I can be! Thank you for the experience and friendship!

Thanks again for a great adventure! African Bowhunting Adventures is truly incredible. I will be back!

What a trip, man. Hope you had half as much fun as I did. The archery lion was a blast, and I'm still over the moon about the lechwe and buffalo, the pending number 2 and number 3 SCI with the bow respectively. Greatly enjoyed the first trip with ABA!
Joe Nowicki

Danie, my man! Where to begin? What a trip to remember! That waterbuck gave us a run for our money. We finally beat him at his game on the final day of our hunt! Words can't describe how grateful I am for you. I am not sure how we can ever beat this trip, but we will try! Until next time my friend.

A fourth trip in the books and what an amazing one it was! I will never ever forget the rhino experience; it truly was one of the highlights of my life. Thank you so much for always making sure we have a wonderful time! We can't wait to book our next adventure!
