Chris/Sabina,


Just a quick note to let you know that I'm back in the land of the free.


I also again, want to express my gratitude for the hospitality you both extended to me during my short but eventful stay with you. Chris, if you would please provide me with the forum sights that we discussed and I'll be sure to post something that will hopefully be well received by the forum community.


Please take care the both of you, and we will speak again soon.


With heart felt regards,


Jeff

We had such a great time with you guys it is definitely different here.


1. No BLeM

2. We are just a number here. Your personalized service was such a pleasure.

3. I haven’t wanted to eat myself into a gluttonous stupor like I did with Sabina’s cooking.

4. After riding through a huge pack of impalas with some nice bulls and eland, Robin’s comment was “ It really is not as exhilarating seeing these after we have been on foot hunting them”


You really have a special operation there. Thanks again for having us and we will talk soon.


Mitch and Robin

Would I go with Chris Troskie again? Yes!! A really honest person that really does a lot to please the customer and who is very transparent with how his entire business operates.


He was super transparent and was a true “man of honor” in straightening everything up beforehand for which I do give him a lot of credit!

Chris and Sabina,


I would like to express my thanks for a great hunt with you and look forward to returning again. Everything on this hunt exceed my expectations. I hope both of you are well and enjoying your time in Cape Town.


The accommodations on this safari were wonderful. I really enjoyed my chalet and appreciate the staff that cleaned my room and did my laundry every day. The food on this hunt was superb! Sabina is a great cook and I really enjoyed every meal. We had a nice mixture of wild game meet and I really appreciate all the effort. Sabina went too in preparing some of my buffalo meat.


The quantity and quality of the animals seen and harvested on this hunt were exceptional. Every animal I took was an older mature bull with massive horns. The buffalo I got was 12 years old and was missing a few teeth. Trackers Sammy and Josias were great to hunt with and their tracking ability was outstanding. The hunting areas were very large and I really enjoyed seeing giraffes every day!


I looked forward to spending time with Chris and Sabina around the fire every night telling stories and laughing a lot. Taking our meals around the fire every night was most enjoyable. Both of you really made my trip special. Thanks again for hosting me and look forward to seeing you again!

Hi Chris,


Well we are back at home, the horses and dogs have been collected and we have dusted the layer of fine red dust off the rifles. I honestly can’t say enough good things about our trip so I will just say that you have both made a much anticipated trip a true holiday of a lifetime.


I cannot thank you enough for the attention to detail and care that you have both given us. We will all remember the numerous and almost constant laughs that we all shared around the fire pit in the evenings. Great memories have been made for all of us this side of the Sahara ! I really hope our paths cross once again in the future. Give Sabina a hug from us 😁


Cheers, Simon

Dear Chris & Sabina,


It is with the greatest pleasure and sincerity that we offer our profound thanks to both of you and the wonderful staff at CT Safaris.


Just when you think that it can't get better, it gets better!


The tour of Cape Town, the sightseeing, the wineries and the fine dining were extraordinary, waking up each morning with a magnificent view of the ocean was a first for us.


Upon returning to Sabrisa Ranch, the wonderful African experience continued.


The hunting started with a crocodile taken in a beautiful bush setting.


The next day found us on the hunt for an old buffalo. It turned out to be quite an adventure that will never be forgotten.


We celebrated Sheralyn's July 4th Birthday with a delicious cookout on the Limpopo River directly across from the border of Botswana.


A fine Sable was located after lunch and thanks to the superb effort by Samson, the CT Safaris Tracker, the animal was collected.


Last but not least, Chris arranged a hunt for a Nyala and this turned out to be a special treat.


All animals taken were mature specimens with excellent trophy quality.


Sabina's culinary skills and the gracious hospitality that she extends are second to none. Chris and his Trackers, Samson and Josias, are masters at their trade.


We go home with memories of our dear friends, Chris and Sabina plus African experiences that will never be forgotten.



TJ Slapak (AB) Canada





Great time great food. Awesome game. Some of the largest I’ve have seen. Great trophy quality. Excellent trackers. One of my most favourite hunts of all time can’t wait to go back again.

Hunt of a Lifetime!


Visiting Africa has always been on my list of "must-do" travel, but never, in my wildest dreams, did I imagine it would turn out to be such a priceless trip!


Thanks to Chris, Sabina, and staff, our trip was seamless from start to finish, we shared so many great times together, hunting and back at camp, and the food was out of this world!


Chris and his team of other professional hunters are very knowledgeable, and taught me so many things, that I'm still using during my hunts here in the Great North Woods of Maine!


The properties that we hunted were stunningly beautiful. From mountain ranges, to riverside lunches, to bird watching, and monkeys at camp, you could say we were able to enjoy so much Africa in one short week! I look forward to hunting with CT Safaris again in the near future!



B Kleinig - NT Australia





Dear Mr Troskie,


At long last, what an absolute pleasure and adventure to meet you and hunt with you! Thank you for making so many dreams eventuate for me. When the challenges of daily life back home are again faced, the happy memories of Africa will help get one through! To see what you and your team are doing for wildlife and conservation, and to play a small part in that, was very encouraging and I look forward to sharing this success story whenever I am able.


Dear Mrs. Troskie,


Thank you for all the kind, warm hospitality, the sensational food and the enjoyable fireside conversations. I will treasure the memory of all of this and look forward to returning some day! I hope that one day you and Mr Troskie will be able to visit us in Australia! I really enjoyed all of the wonderful and interesting stories you have about life and events and perspectives in unique and varied parts of the world!


With thanks,


Ben

Chris and Sabina,


Lola and I want to thank you for a wonderful visit to your farm, the great cuisine and hunting expeditions. The Buffalo and Bushbuck well ticked off two items on my bucket list and I am eagerly anticipating the addition to my wall.


I hope life settles in as the stress of the (pre)season calms down and that you have a great year. We would love to host you in late January for the WA State Sportsmen's Show. I will block out my calendar to assist however I can.


Good hunting and good dining!


Frank

If you're gonna safari, be sure it's with Chris Troskie at CT Safaris.


Chris is professional, funny, experienced and delivers the experience of a lifetime.


Beautiful and elegant Sabina works wonders in the kitchen.


The lodging, the meals, the hunting, the staff were all superb. I WILL BE BACK!



T VAN DIEPEN (OR) USA





I enjoyed the hunt as did Janet. Reading the report has been fun, also. Thank you and Sabina for hosting us and always making a plan for success.



Nic pferdmenges - AB (canada)





Chris,


We had a fantastic trip. Thank you and all your staff for an unforgettable 7 days in Africa! We are already discussing plans for our next trip. All the best on your upcoming hunt and would love to see pictures when you have the time.


Thank you again!

I cannot say enough good things about Chris Troskie and his safari operation. He is a truly wonderful host, a fantastic hunter and a great friend. You cannot go wrong with buying a package from him, or tailor your hunt to your desires. You can call me in the US at 207 229-9898 if you have questions about my hunt or about anything you'd like to know about Chris Troskie Safaris. I do not work for him and I do not get any form of compensation from him. I paid the full price for this trip out of pocket and the only compensation I got was the .308 from Henry Repeating Arms - just so you know!

Kim and JaneT - ID (USA)





We made it back and were greeted at our home with a huge double rainbow. It was beautiful!


We are both having serious jet lag and have slept a lot. It's a long trip but definitely worth it. we hope that you are enjoying your holiday, the Birthday party and your beach time.


We want to thank you for your wonderful hospitality and friendship. We truly enjoyed our time with you and your staff.


We appreciate your attention to detail, your kindness and how you pampered us. This is something we're not used to.


We wish you great success with your future hunts!


Thanks again!


Kim and Janet

Dear friends,


Thank you for a wonderful experience!


Please accept these small tokens of our appreciation. Our gratitude and love exceeds the amount but we hope this is a tangible way to say thank you and we hold you all in deepest regards.


Very sincerely,


Jim and Jen

It wasn't long after Chris picked Nadine and me up at OR Tambo that he told us Africa is addictive. After two weeks with Chris and Sabina, we are addicted. We took full advantage of CT Safaris' services.


The first week was a photographic safari that provided us with a couple hundred photos to relive the trip and bore friends.


The second week was at Sabrisa Ranch where Chris and Sammy provided me with the best week of hunting I had had in over 60 years. Sabina added immeasurably to the trip with excellent meals, beautiful settings and great company. We are looking forward to a return trip.



d carrington (AB) canada





Firstly, I would like to start by saying that without a doubt I would have no issues recommending anyone to hunt with Chris at CT Safaris. Secondly I would have no issues recommending to anyone to not only hunt with Chris, but to do what my wife and I did and combine the hunting with Chris and Sabina's Panorama Route / Kruger Tour. Between the hunting and touring, every step of the way we felt Chris and Sabina's effort to make this an intimate trip for us. Their hospitality and especially Sabina's cooking was second to none! While hunting, both with archery and riffle I was able to experience everything that I dreamed of hunting in South Africa! From sitting over a watering hole patiently awaiting a glimpse of the grey ghost making his way into bow range, to spot and stalking numerous animals. I have hunted with multiple outfits before and I will say that Chris is a very competent PH, and an honest, ethical person who makes the extra effort to ensure his clients are happy. My wife and I spent three weeks with Chris and Sabina and I will say without a doubt that we were sad to say goodbye to them in the airport. I can not wait to hunt again with Chris and Sabina!

Tom Koerwitz - MN (USA)





Good day Chris,


I can't say enough good things about our safari at your Tuli concession. My two grandnephews will not be able to duplicate the experience that you gave them with the variety and quality game that they harvested. Your tented camp, staff and your attention to the youth were over the top. This camp would be a bow hunter's dream because of the attention to detail of the property.


Happy and safe hunting,

Tom



t de vries TX - USA





We had a great time hunting and staying with you. Everything was fantastic. We couldn't have had a more enjoyable safari.


I'm serious about hunting buffalo with you probably in 2 years.


Take care and have a Happy New Year!



john sali - (AB) canada





The hunting areas we hunted was wonderful and diverse. From my dream mountain kudu hunt, the sandveldt, forests, marshy plains and what I can only describe dark jungle along the Limpopo River there were always new areas to explore. It was wonderful not to be locked into one area day after day and Chris was very quick to adapt our hunts to the levels of my fitness and shooting ability. The highest praise I can possibly give is that not once during my entire hunt did I feel like I was just a client. I can honestly say that it was like visiting friends for a hunting trip. Chris, Sabina and all their staff did an amazing job of making me feel at home while I was there. I can't express how much I appreciated that especially as I was there on my own.



d payne (AB) canada






We saw literally thousands of animals and had an absolute blast. The food was amazing, the scenery was stunning and the weather for the most part was warm and sunny. What more could a guy ask for? I managed to drop 8 animals with 10 shots. I missed a running Warthog bin the near dark and a wounded Wildebeest in thick cover that was wounded by a hunter a few days previous to us being there. I killed a very fine Acacia tree while shooting at that Blue Wildebeest.

I will be back. There is something about the allure of that continent that just gets in your soul. It can't be explained unless you've been there. Thanks again Chris if you're reading this. We had one of the most memorable times of our lives. Someone asked me last night what the best thing about the trip was and I couldn't answer. It was all so great that I can't pick one thing! Hell, I couldn't narrow it down to a top 3!



k seginak (ND) usa





I very much enjoyed hunting with Chris. He has some beautiful areas to hunt with very little hunting pressure, he can offer a wide variety of hunting experiences according to what methods and weapons you prefer to use, and is a very genuine, honest, humorous, intelligent guy who is a competent and knowledgeable PH. He works his hardest to see that his hunters succeed and go home satisfied with their hunts.



tim and sue davies (AB) - canada





Sue and I often talk about our fantastic safari that we enjoyed with you and Sabina. It was the trip of a lifetime, from the moment you picked us up at Africa Sky Guesthouse until the last moment when you packed us on the plane back to Calgary we had a fantastic trip. I thought it was the trip of a lifetime but we were wrong. It was just the first of many thanks to you and Sabina!





gordon harms (NE) - USA





I can personally attest to Chris' expertise and the fine operation that he has, having hunted with him in 2013 and 2016. Superb animals were taken and I especially like hunting directly with the CEO. Samson his tracker is also a gem. Chris and Sabina conducted a wonderful week of touring on the most recent trip. Kruger was terrific as well as other points of interest.





ellen vickerman (AB) - canada





When my husband Howard fulfilled his "bucket list goal" of a Cape Buffalo, and I had admired Sabina's beautiful Zebra skin art, I was challenged by Howard to drum up my rifle shooting skills and "get your own Zebra"! Because of my limited agility, the onus was on Chris and his Trackers to set me up - which they did perfectly in the fading hours of the second day of hard hunting and tracking. It took one shot, 175 meters away and a whole lot of relief to close the deal on a beautiful stallion whose usefulness to his species was but fond memories. This personal achievement has been inspirational to me in my recovery of PSTD... Thank you Chris and your caring, talented staff!





cody slapak (ab) - Canada





Although I'm not one for basing my hunts' success solely on inches, I must say that I'm very happy with these results. To get a kudu in SCI Gold is still unbelievable to me. It's an amazing animal. To pick two additional animals above my package (eland and red hartebeest) and have them both go SCI Silver is just awesome!


Thanks for providing me and T.J. with the hunt of our lives!
