OUR AGENTS
TOM HUNT
Tom Hunt: “I have personally hunted with Spear Safaris many times over the past 25 years for both dangerous and plains game in South Africa & Zimbabwe. As a full time adventure consultant, I have also sent countless hunters to Spear. I’m totally confident that when I send a customer to Spear that things will be done correctly and to the highest standard. Ernest & Marita’s attention to detail and excellent hunting areas throughout the continent of Africa are top notch. A high percentage of my customers have rebooked with Spear after their first safari and some go back every year! This is true testament to their commitment to quality. I can unconditionally recommend the services of Spear Safaris.”
JIMMY FONTENOT
Jimmy Fontenot: “I have had the priviledge of hunting South Africa, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Burkina Faso with Spear Safaris and every Safari was well organized and the PHs were very knowledgeable of the areas. I categorize Ernest as a true Hunters PH, being very fit and mobile, doing whatever it takes to achieve success on whatever game species you are after. Consider Spear Safaris for your True African experience. Expectations will certainly be exceeded”
Taxidermy
Trophy Solutions: Johan van der Merwe: Trophy Solutions Africa has been privileged to be the choice of facility to process their hunting clients’ hunting trophies since 2008. It is an absolute pleasure to handle their trophy consignments as their trophies are always ready for collection directly after conclusion of a client’s safari, together with their documentation which is always done and completed to the proverbial “T”! Without good quality trophy parts and completed documentation, we are basically stuck, which can cause a huge delay in the timeous export of a client’s trophies. Spear Safaris completes the entire package, which includes the post safari documentation… as no safari is “completed”, before the trophies are with the client!
