Why Nick Bowker Hunting?

Nick Bowker, your outfitter, and guide will be with you every waking minute of the day. Nick conducts free-range hunting in a low-fenced environment with over 30 species. He has 25 years of experience guiding and outfitting and has been very successful with first-time African hunters.

Your first day

You will fly into Johannesburg and catch a connecting flight to Port Elizabeth, where Nick will meet you. A two-hour drive to Olivefountain lodge, where you will spend the rest of the hunting safari. On arrival at the lodge, we have a light lunch, and rifles will be checked for zero. Later in the afternoon, we will set off for the first hunting excursion.

A typical days hunting

  • Up at dawn for a cup of coffee and a snack.
  • Set off to our hunting area for the targeted species.
  • All hunting areas are within half an hour’s drive.
  • Generally, we will target the brush-dwelling animals such as the spiral horns in the very early mornings and late evenings when they come out to graze.
  • We would target Plains Game animals during the day as they are easier to find.
  • Many hours are spent glassing animals before mounting a stalk on a selected quarry, so a high-quality pair of binoculars is a must.
  • Typically, we find an elevated position and glass the surrounding valleys in search of a Trophy.
  • We would then set up a plan and begin our stalk.
  • Alternatively, we may try and set up an ambush.
  • Generally, return for a big brunch around 11h30.
  • Sometimes we will take packed lunch and be gone for the whole day.
  • Out again in the afternoon hunting.
  • We have dinner around a fire, discussing the days hunting and making plans for the next day.
African hunt of a lifetime.
