GAMEBIRDS AFRICAN SAFARIS

     The African Train-Shoot Safari concept dates back to the colonial 1950s, when Gamebirds founder Peter Johnson watched his father with a party of friends depart on a special train for a weekend of flighting wild duck in a remote area of southern Africa.

      Today Gamebirds Train-Shoot Safaris travel north from Cape Town to central Africa, linking South Africa with Namibia and Bokswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania.via the best of the Gamebirds Association’s long list of large private sporting estates, each with its’ own uniquely different landscape and exceptional wildlife environment.

     Now for the first time within comfortable reach of the international sporting traveller, in one continuous safari, are many remote areas of the African wilderness.

      By adapting Rohan Vos’s exceptional The Pride of Africa” Train (also a member of the Leading Hotels group) completely restored to the golden age of colonial steam train travel,



the Gamebirds expeditions provide, for a maximum of 30 people, an experience of superlative comfort, service and style - a safari truly without compare. The Southern African Train-Shoot Safari starts from Rovos Rail’s private station at Capital Park in Pretoria, a 30 minute drive from Johannesburg International Airport, then travels north to cross the Limpopo River and up through Zimbabwe ending at the Victoria Falls. The South African Trail-Shoot also from Pretoria, takes the southern route via historic Kimberley, the Vaal and Orange Rivers, across the “red sands” of the Kalahari back to Pretoria.

Nowhere in the world can compare to Argentina with its year-‘round good weather and volume shooting. It is the perfect setting to take you one step further on the learning curve of straight shooting. Combining the knowledge gained at the my regular shooting schools with unlimited wing shooting helps me to help you fine-tune your shooting skills.
