ABOUT US …
The Beginning …
Our VIP hunts are part of our continued tradition, founded by our dear friend and mentor, the late Paul “El Rey de Leopardo” Ferreira. It was his hard work, foresight, camaraderie, organization, attention to detail, long-term relationships and creation of what originally was Askari Adventures Africa, a VIP hunting experience. We have changed the name from Askari …as Polla was the name. Everything else he built, we carry forward in honored tradition, with his highest levels of service, success and trophy quality.
Our VIP Hunt
We hunt Plains Game and Dangerous game. Rifle, bow and crossbow hunters and their guests are all welcome (We have some dedicated bowhunting only areas). We were one of the first to promote and achieve success at Bowhunting in South Africa, dating back to 1998 in the Kalahari.
South Africa is our primary operation, but pursuit of dangerous game and specialized plains game takes us to Namibia, Mozambique and Tanzania. We offer lodge based and traditional tent-style lodging, with hunts from 7 - 28 days. Most of the time, our guests have lodge exclusivity, except in cases with just one or two hunters.
We do not believe an Africa experience is one that includes a small acreage, chasing a mere handful of species or mediocre “representative” trophies. We pull out all the stops and put forth our best efforts to manage and harvest select trophies and provide not just a day in the field, a trophy photo and checked box … but to give our elite clientele a chance at the record books, at a fireplace marvel or something to brag about in their office. Although we put effort into this success, we always strive to deliver the message, that the experience as a whole is more important than the individual trophy.
