Expedition Songstad | Randy’s African Adventure…

4th August 2022

“From the time that I was 8 years old, I have hoped and dreamed of an African safari. At age 59 that dream became a reality. After researching numerous safari services, I chose John X Safaris. And it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

From the minute the plane landed in Port Elizabeth every aspect of the experience and service was above and beyond anything I could have imaged. My PH Rusty Coetzer and Tracker Ou John, were absolutely spectacular and consistently guided me onto exquisite animals. Shawn, my camera man was phenomenal, not only at his trade of filming, but assisted me in climbing mountains, carrying my rifle from time to time and was an absolute gentleman the entire safari. The dining was divine and the attention to detail is evident in every single element while the facilities are second to none. Carl Van Zyl is the most exceptional host and attends to anything you may need with utmost care. He and his family have become like my own in Africa. Truly, my dream has come true.”





Those were the kind words Randy left us with at the end of his hunt, but most certainly not a fraction of the many hilarious stories he shared on his adventure. So without further ado we present Randy “Attenborough” Songstad and his grand African Expedition!


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.
