All Trophy Trails Outfitters Africa bow hunting prices are quoted in US Dollars (US$).
Thank you for visiting the official bow hunting pricing directory of Trophy Trails Outfitters Africa. If you are an American bow hunter planning your next classic African expedition, you have landed in the right place. Our dedicated bow-hunting operations are fully separated from traditional rifle safaris, ensuring you experience custom-tailored setups, optimal waterhole blind placement, and elite spot-and-stalk opportunities across our prime South African concessions. If you have any questions regarding imports, setup, or availability, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly via the header or footer of this page.
The prime window for a successful South African bow hunting adventure runs from mid-April to mid-October during our cooler, drier winter months when game patterns concentrate heavily around water sources. However, if you are visiting South Africa for business, a family vacation, or a broader holiday and happen to have your bow in tow, reach out to us. We will always do our absolute utmost to arrange a memorable hunt for you. Please note that the high summer period between Christmas and New Year is generally avoided, as it coincides with national family holidays and extreme seasonal heat.
If you live for the pursuit, let’s make it happen. As the saying goes, “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.” We believe this wholeheartedly. We conduct our bow hunts exclusively on private, well-managed concessions during your stay. Your preferred trophy animal will dictate the exact concession we utilize, but hunt we will!
If one of our structured package hunts does not completely match your goals, let us know and we will custom-build an itinerary just for you. Beyond the hunt, we can seamlessly integrate world-class tourist extensions into your safari:
Let us know your preferences, travel dates, and target species, and we will provide you with a comprehensive, personalized proposal tailored for the discerning bow hunter.
