A short explanation of how easy the process of booking a safari is with AS Hunting Adventures and what you can expect after your arrival in Africa.
Booking a safari should feel clear and manageable, especially for first-time hunters. After you contact us, we confirm your dates, discuss trophy priorities and preferences, and prepare a detailed quotation once we have enough information. From there, we guide you through the remaining steps—travel details, arrival coordination, and what happens at camp—so you know exactly what to expect before your hunt begins.
For many folks, booking their first African hunt might seem daunting. We understand and have simplified the process, making it as straightforward and transparent as possible. Get in touch through the 'Inquire' link on this website. We'll respond quickly. You'll receive a quotation immediately if you've provided sufficient details. If you have questions or want to make adjustments, please ask.
We're flexible. Once your safari details are finalized, we require a 20% deposit to secure dates, accommodations, and professional hunter availability. We'll also need your arrival and departure flight info. After the hunt, the final payment is made in South Africa, and we know which animals you've taken. Final balances are settled in South Africa. Major credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, while American Express acceptance may vary by location and service provider.
When you arrive at OR Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg), our team will meet you inside the arrivals hall with a name placard and assist you before departing for the hunting lodge. After arrival, we travel by road to the hunting lodge, with transfer times typically ranging between two and four hours, depending on the hunting area, traffic, and routing. Once at camp, you'll meet up with your professional hunter guide and be shown to your room.
We never host more than one party at a time at our lodge. You might even have a choice of room. The lodge and facilities, therefore, are for your exclusive use. Our lodge is perfectly suitable for non-hunters and comes with all the necessary amenities: electricity, hot and cold running water, flushing toilet, and lockable en-suite bathroom. Every bedroom has a full-sized double bed fitted with quality linen. Rooms are serviced daily. Your cabin has a small living room area and veranda. For their exclusive use, accommodation units are assigned per hunter, couple, or family.
Meals are enjoyed at the camp restaurant; cabins have a small kitchen equipped with a kettle, microwave, fridge and hotplate, and assorted cutlery and crockery. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included. Portions are generous. In-the-field snacks are provided as required. Light snacks are served at morning and afternoon tea. Unlimited bottled water and soft drinks are included. We cater to every dietary requirement and entertain all reasonable requests. Meat from hunted animals is frequently used in the preparation of meals. Alcoholic beverages in moderation are also included.
After settling in and lunch, we'll begin with target practice, allowing you to sight in or familiarize yourself with the rifle. At the same time, it will enable your professional hunter to assess your skill. Around mid-afternoon you'll head out on the vehicle on your first hunt. Once the spoor is found, you'll track the animal on foot. Your professional hunter will advise as the hunt progresses. You'll return to the lodge at dusk, where you'll have the opportunity to freshen up or shower before dinner.
African Sky is also an established tour operator. If the non-hunters in your party prefer not to go along on the hunt, we can arrange guided day tours to various local attractions. As a registered tour operator of long-standing, we have the expertise to easily combine your hunting safari with an extended guided tour or photo safari. We're the only outfitter in South Africa with this capability. Since 1998, AS Hunting Adventures has operated guided safaris and tours across Southern Africa, working with experienced professional hunters and registered guides. We employ numerous registered guides and conduct fly-in and guided overland tours and safaris across Southern Africa.
