Testimonials Daryl Payne - AB Canada
The hunting I experienced was so much different than home. We saw game all day every day and I was fortunate enough to take 8 animals in 5 days. Couple this with an epic tracking job/stalk on a pair of Gemsbok that resulted in 3 up close opportunities with his tracker. That was mind blowing for me. Seeing these guys in action is worth every nickel of the trip in itself.
All in all I was able to take a great Gemsbok bull, Gold Medal Impala ram, 2 Bushbucks one of which will be Gold Medal, 2 huge warthogs, an extremely old Kudu bull that was broomed off and had massive bases and a Chacma Baboon that the landowner sorely wanted off of her land. I think that spells out the recipe for an extremely successful hunt.
I was able to discuss with Chris what I wanted to hunt and how we were going to go about it. Every night while sitting around the fire we would formulate a plan for the next couple of days. I always felt included and a part of the hunt. I never felt like I was just a client that was tagging along to pull the trigger when something big enough came along. I hunted Limpopo and it is rich with opportunities. CT Safaris is a great choice to take advantage of those opportunities.
I feel as though I left having made another friend. I have done other guided hunts before and this is the only time I can say that. By midway through the first day we were joking like old hunting buddies and for that I am eternally grateful. I don’t just call anyone a friend but I had no time making that connection with Chris. He is a hunter at heart and is genuinely determined that his clients have a great time while in his care.
CT Safaris is first class! I know I’ll be back. After all, my wife said so!
I was originally skeptical if my health would allow it to happen as I knew that “I was not 6 foot tall and bullet proof” at 65 years of age and I had advised Chris of my concerns well before my arrival in Johannesburg but his dedication to a client provided ‘Par Excellence’ for the hunt and on occasions I had my own ‘Gun Bearer’ to help in the rocky conditions of the Free State.
Some of my trophies should be Rowland Ward entries when measured ‘Green’ by my Taxidermist but I will have to wait for two months before a final decision is made.
It is hard to pick just one trophy to brag about but the 5” Duiker and the last trophy on the last day, an Eastern Cape Kudu Bull is definitely at the top of my memories, both from the Eastern Cape.
The friendship shown to me by the staff of the various lodges we hunted from was exceptional, with the meals created by Sabina a real delight so if you decide to hunt with Chris and Sabina make sure in addition to your normal ‘Kit’ you bring a large appetite as the servings are Huge.
If you want to ask any questions in preparation for your hunt, Chris will give you my Email address.

Thank you for your kind wishes to my family. I am already planning to come back in
6-8 years with my son and then Nette joining me later to go to ZIM. for buff. You will be on my list for some hunting either at Emaweni or elsewhere. I feel the need for another Springbok and Eland or a trip to the Kalahari. I said I wasn't going to be a repeat client but you did do a great job and you listened to what I wanted.

My wife and I had an outstanding time with Chris and his wife Sabina. We were treated like royalty and enjoyed every minute of our trip with CT Safaris. The food, the atmosphere the settings, did I mention the food??…Everything was priceless. I will admit that my wife had reservations about going to Africa as she doesn’t hunt. She was anticipating long boring days in camp waiting for me to return from hunting. Well on the 3rd day of our trip she came to me saying that we need to talk. I was nervous thinking that maybe she wasn’t having fun. I asked what was wrong and she said “We’re coming back here!” Wow what a relief. She had a great time and got along great with Sabina. She had her choice of things to do and was never left to be bored.
CT-Safaris has just provided a first class safari for me.
“When first asked if I would join my husband to South Africa on Safari I was hesitant. I decided after about a week of deliberation to join him. Figured it wouldn’t hurt to see the animals in their natural environment and do some sight seeing. Of course maybe take down an animal or two. I could not have made a better decision. Chris & Sabina made a wonderful trip even better. Chris and Sabina’s hospitality and humour is second to none which made this hunt even more enjoyable. I am proud to say we developed a very special relationship with this couple during our time with them. I was amazed at how many beautiful species we were able to hunt. I myself was able to take my dream animal the gemsbok. I have to thank Chris & Sabina from the bottom of my heart for the most amazing experience of my life!!!!!
I have hunted with Chris Troskie two times now, once in 2008 and again in 2010. I am planning on going again in 2012. On my first hunt I arrived as a client and left a friend and could not wait to go back to Africa with Chris and his lovely wife Sabina. The hunting has been excellent with most trophies making SCI gold. I have been fortunate enough to take 2 animals that qualified for Rowland Ward status. The service and food and lodging have been first class. You will not believe the ability Chris has at seeing game. Looking forward to our next hunt together. 
My wife and I just spent 2 weeks hunting with Chris Troskie in Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa... We finally made the time for the type of trip I've always wanted to do. We had a fantastic time, saw a wide variety of animals and harvested some very nice trophies, saw a lot of good country and enjoyed good food and comradarie. 
First of all I would like to thank Chris owner and operator for a fantastic hunt. Chris delivered everything he said he would and more. Lodging and meals were excellent as well as the staff and game. I would also like to thank David Keith, with out his help and guidence this trip would have never happened. David spent alot of time on the phone and emails with me in order to make sure everything went as planned. I would also like to thank Kathi Klimes for making our travel arrangements. 
It must be the season to have a good hunt with Chris Troskie Safaris Africa.
I had been to Africa twice already and enjoyed myself both times. I wanted to go back and when I purchased a hunt at a Safari Club International Local Chapter Event the start of my third Africa trip began. I have always had good luck buying SCI hunt's and this trip with Chris Troskie Safari's would be no different. From the time I was picked up personally by Chris and his wife Sabina to the time I left, I was treated like royalty. I even had my own chalet. Sabina, a great cook, had gourmet meals every night and even had different theme nights like 
When I started deer stalking in England some years ago, I could only dream as many do of actually hunting in Africa, following in the footsteps of Selous, and “Karamojo” Bell. Today, I can claim to have successfully hunted many plains game - an achievement gained through the careful guidance of Chris Troskie...
We enjoyed our trip very much - thanks for the time you invested in us... I saw the pictures you posted on your website of us - could you send me the files? My wife would like to have a couple of large prints made...I am looking forward to meeting you next Saturday! I mailed and emailed invitations out to folks who may one day be interested in hunting with you...Hope you had a good Christmas as well, Dee received a nice note from your daughter...I enjoyed having you as a guest in our home, and getting to know you a little better. I hope we can continue our friendship over the years...
First of all I would like to thank you again for an excellent and very enjoyable hunt. I have given your name and e-mail to many people. The picture on your web site were a pleasant suprise...Again, Thanks for a wonderful hunt and first trip to Africa. Hope to be back soon!
The best thing I can say about Chris and his services is that I would be going back in 2008 but issues came up back home so it will be 2009 for sure... I lived in Africa for several years and am acquainted with hunting, safari etc... like most are not... Troskie Safari is one of the finest I've been with... The service was superb... I actually gained weight the food was so great. Chris T is a gentleman of the first order, he guides as a top safari PH should. You will enjoy your time with him... and the hunting of course is excellent...
Pat and I both had a wonderful time, thanks to you and the rest of your staff... The offer to spend a little time in Alaska is still open. If you can work it into your finances and your schedule, we could work it into our schedule...
Chris, thank you for a wonderful time. I made it home at 1430 on the 14th. I cannot begin to tell you how much fun I had. The blesbok was worth the trip by itself. Tell everybody i said hello...
South Africa is amazing! I had a great time, every day was a unique experience... The first day out we all got something - I got a Zebra and my Dad an Impala and Caracal. The next day I got an Impala...Everything has been just great...
We've had a wonderful trip! These camps are amazing. First day out we shot a Caracal an Impala and my son shot a wonderful Zebra. We had a great time here. All the PH's were great, the camps we stayed in were wonderful and we had a great time...
