Why should I go on a Big five hunt

There are many reasons to go on a Big five hunt and they are as individual as any other pursuit.  Many hunters go hunting for the experience and to learn more about the country and the animals of the area.  Others, go to walk in the footsteps of famous hunters like Teddy Roosevelt or Robert Ruark.

What makes hunting the Big five unique

The animals themselves! For instance, Cape Buffalo, African Lion, and Leopard are not available elsewhere.  You can hunt bears, or sheep or other antelope species in many countries but these iconic African species are only available in one general area – and they will all challenge you.  Check out our articles, many of which detail big five hunts; you’ll find lots of information, as well as, real adventure stories as told by our team and contributors.

Step up your game with JD African Safaris for your Big Game Hunting experience!  We look forward to helping from you!  Contact us now and let us know what big game you’d like to hunt!
