Bow Hunting

If you’re a serious Bow hunter, South Africa is the place to hunt. Very few hunters who have brought their bows to South Africa have left disappointed. Kudu Adventure Safaris, personal service and commitment to excellence is second to none. We have a high success rate on trophy animals and quality bow hunting experience. The average shot distance is 22 yards or less and blinds are strategically placed to maximize bow opportunities. The style of hunting provides excellent spot and stalk opportunities for hunters. Nevertheless the terrain for bow hunting in Africa is excellent.

Anatomy and shot placement on African animals is different than on North American big game. An arrow tucked behind the shoulder may be perfect placement for an Elk, but on most African animals will result a single lung or “paunch” hit. Professional Hunters will discuss shot placement before your hunt, but good reference books are available and are recommended for the first time Africa Hunter.

Most bow hunters are surprised at the size and the strength of African animals, but a well placed arrow is deadly on a 1 600 pound Eland as it is on a 150 pound whitetail deer Heavy arrows and sturdy fixed blade broadheads are strongly recommended.
