We provide exceptional bow-hunting experiences in designated Bow Only zones. Bowhunting has gained immense popularity in Africa, and our concessions are well-equipped to accommodate bow hunters. Our professional hunters, who are also passionate bow hunters, offer their extensive expertise. Hunts can be conducted from pit blinds, tree stands, or by stalking on foot if the area allows. Bowhunters are welcome to bring their own gear without needing import permits. Each hunt is customized to meet your specific needs. The prime months for Bow Hunting are July, August, and September and October, coinciding with our dry season when wildlife tends to gather around water sources. It's advisable to consider the lunar phase when scheduling your hunt; a darker moon phase typically results in better hunting conditions, as game is less nocturnally active and more likely to be encountered during the day.
Before coming to Africa, archers must know their capabilities and should at least be able to shoot from either the sitting or standing positions. Shots can vary from 10-40 yards. It is essential that archers also practice shooting through a relatively small hole from inside a blind as shooting through such as small hole in an enclosure can be distracting. Furthermore, archers should know the anatomy of African game as shot placement is everything. Often the heart-lung area is situated much lower and further forward than in game animals of other parts of the world.
A good quality 50lbs bow with which you are familiar is recommended and with good quality broadheads. As it is often very dark inside blinds, you may have difficulty in seeing your sight pins. Lighted sight pins are therefore a must when hunting from inside a blind. A laser rangefinder is also recommended.
