Eastern cape at its best
Great hunting, and great people. Highly recommend booking a trip with Dave and Nikki. Wonderful family atmosphere, with professional, and friendly guides.
Outstanding Hunting Experience
This South African hunt with Leopard’s Valley Safari was a fantastic experience for my don and I. Dave, Nikki and their family are the best hosts we could have had and Ryan was the best PH we could have hoped for. A family friendly experience with family gourmet cooking by a highly underrated but excellent chef(Nikki). No need for a restaurant since she provided three excellent meals each day!! Dave should have been a comedian and us a man with a plethora of stories. We will definitely return. Thank you for a memorable experience for Will and I!!
Nothing! The entire hunting experience was superb.
Free Range South Africa!
It was a pleasure to hunt with Dave. Not only is it true free range unfenced hunting we had a ball and laughed from pretty much sun up to sundown and then some!
