Winning an Elk Hunt and ending up in Africa

29th April 2022

Mark Knight won an Elk hunt in North America and ended up in Africa. We’re not sure how that happened? But it did!

Mark entered the members only Pro Membership Sweepstakes hunt draw back in 2019 and won an Elk hunt. Having dreamt of Africa his entire life Mark contacted Michael Demming from Pro Membership Sweepstakes and requested an exchange of his prize to head to Africa. At that stage we knew very little about Michael or Mark, but Mark was adamant, and before we knew it he and his son, Alan, were on their way to Africa for a father and son combo adventure.





From the forests and valleys of the south to the plains of the Great Karoo and a whole lot of hunting in between. Join us as we celebrate one of the luckiest winners of all with Pro Membership Sweepstakes and John X Safaris.


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.
