Cable’s African Bow Hunt

18th Mar 2022

For the past five years Cable Smith and PH, Carl Van Zyl, have pursued game across all fronts and varied terrain making the most of both Plains and Dangerous Game opportunities. Up until this point the pair had focused on rifle hunting only, but on Cable’s most recent hunt to the East Cape he decided to bring his bow for a bow only safari.

It proved to be the greatest challenge yet, but arguably one of the most rewarding to date. From a giant Kalahari Springbuck in the Karoo to a majestic Sable and a huge Eland from Woodlands Safari Estate. There were many frustrating moments shared and lessons learnt as we got schooled regularly along the way.



Grab your gear and join our hunters as they gave it their all from permanent blinds, pop-up blinds, ambush setups with plenty of walking and crawling along the way.

If you’d like to join Cable and friends to Africa during season 2022 then drop us a line today. Hunt dates are 25 July – 2 August 2022. This is one hunt you don’t want to miss!


Contact us today for more information on our hunts and feel free to mail Carl directly on johnxsafarishunts@gmail.com with your specific safari requests or quotes. We look forward to hearing from you and sharing a campfire in Africa.
