Testimonial
“Around a month ago I saw myself traveling halfway around the world to the amazing country of South Africa! Over my time there I was able to take in the breathtaking views and amazing wildlife that was present. One of my favorite experiences on the trip was going on a hunt with the Ekhaya team. They had everything planned for the day as well as plenty of snacks and drinks to keep us comfortable. We started the hunt with driving around the property searching for specific animals that we were interested in hunting. Once we found what we were looking for, we hiked a little closer to get the full hunting experience. They were able to get me a perfect shot on a beautiful blesbok! Overall, I had a great experience, and the Ekhaya team is truly amazing! Would definitely recommend, and I will hopefully be able to go back in the future.” – Korbin Adam’s (USA)
