Where Legends Are Hunted and Memories Are Made.

“My trip to South Africa in May was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I had been planning it for several months, and from the very beginning Walter was always available to answer every question and make the entire process easy and stress-free. By the time we arrived, everything had been perfectly organized. Our adventure began in Kruger National Park, where we spent two unforgettable nights. Having Walter as our guide made a huge difference. He shared his incredible knowledge of African wildlife, explaining the behavior, ecology, and conservation of the animals we encountered. Seeing so many species in their natural habitat before the hunt gave us a much deeper appreciation for Africa and made the entire experience even more meaningful. After Kruger, we traveled to the hunting area, where we were welcomed with outstanding hospitality. Walter, Erinda, and the entire team treated us like family from the moment we arrived. Every detail was taken care of, and we never had to worry about anything. Their attention to every aspect of the trip allowed us to simply enjoy the experience. This was my very first African hunting safari, and it exceeded every expectation I had. The quality of the hunting was exceptional, but what impressed me most was the incredible abundance of wildlife we saw every day. Walter and his team taught us so much about tracking, animal behavior, ethical hunting, and conservation. I returned home with beautiful trophies, but even more valuable were the lessons and memories we gained throughout the safari. One thing that made this trip truly unique was that it wasn’t only about hunting. Walter surprised us by taking us to play golf at a beautiful course, giving us the opportunity to relax and enjoy another side of South Africa. It was a perfect balance between adventure and leisure. Our journey ended in Cape Town, where Walter organized an amazing experience exploring the city, visiting spectacular wineries, and discovering one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It was the perfect way to end the trip and experience another side of this incredible country. Looking back, I realize that Walter didn’t simply organize a hunting safari—he created a complete African experience. From wildlife and conservation to hunting, golf, wine country, and the beauty of Cape Town, every day was carefully planned and unforgettable. My friends and I returned home with amazing trophies, lifelong memories, and friendships that I know will last for many years. The greatest compliment I can give is that I’m already planning my next trip back—this time to share the experience with my son on a father-and-son safari. I can’t think of a better place or better people to introduce him to Africa. I know it will be another unforgettable adventure, and I truly look forward to returning with Walter, Erinda, and the entire Across Africa team.”

“It has been less than a week since I returned from my very first South African adventure, and I still struggle to put into words what an incredible experience it was. From start to finish, everything about the safari was flawless. The hospitality, lodge staff, Chef Kenny, the trackers, skinners, and especially Professional Hunter Paul Herman were exceptionally accommodating, knowledgeable, and professional. I also thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your taxidermy facilities—it was both fascinating and memorable. There may be other outfitters who are just as good, but I truly believe there are none better. Paul was an absolute pleasure to hunt with on my first African safari. His knowledge of Africa, professionalism, intelligence, sense of humour, and genuine care made the experience unforgettable. He is an outstanding example of what a true professional hunter should be, and I am honoured to call him a friend. Of the seven animals I harvested with Paul's expert guidance, two earned SCI Bronze, three earned SCI Silver, and one achieved SCI Gold. Not bad for a first-time South African hunter! I sincerely hope to return to South Africa in the near future. The memories of this safari—and the magnificent animals I encountered—will stay with me for the rest of my life. These beautiful creatures are not simply trophies; they will forever live on in my memories. I highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for a world-class African hunting experience. — Don Kagle”

“My son Chad and I travelled from South Carolina to Africa with one goal—to harvest quality trophy animals using our bows. Although we only had seven hunting days, the dedication and professionalism of Walter's team made our dream a reality. Our Professional Hunter, Marius Duvenage, worked tirelessly from before sunrise until after dark, taking us into prime bow-hunting areas where success was possible. On the very first day, Chad harvested a beautiful trophy warthog and a magnificent nyala. After two days of patient waiting, I harvested an outstanding impala. Marius's expert guidance, careful animal selection, and coaching gave me the confidence to make a perfect shot at 27 yards. Throughout the safari, Marius consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, ensuring every hunt was both safe and enjoyable. His knowledge, patience, and dedication made our experience unforgettable. Our final challenge was Chad's zebra. After three days of tracking and searching for the perfect opportunity, we decided to continue the hunt with a rifle. On the final hunting day, senior PH Paul Herman joined our efforts. Thanks to his experience, planning, and teamwork, it took less than two hours to bring a magnificent young stallion into range. Chad made a perfect single shot, and our hunt was complete. Our lifelong dream of hunting Africa had become a reality. The outstanding hospitality, Chef Kenny's excellent meals, the professional staff, and the friendships we made throughout our stay will remain with us forever. We highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic, professionally guided African hunting adventure. — Joe Valitchka & Chad Valitchka Greer, South Carolina, USA”

“Best Hunting Experience Walter has been the most accommodating Professional Hunter I have ever hunted with. From the very beginning of my safari until the very end, everything was handled professionally. No matter what we asked for, nothing was ever a problem. Walter's response was always, "No problem." His operation is truly first-class from start to finish. Walter is extremely knowledgeable in every aspect of African hunting, from selecting trophy-quality game to ensuring every detail of the safari runs smoothly. During my hunt, I harvested an outstanding collection of trophy animals, including an exceptional elephant, a magnificent lion, nyala, waterbuck, gemsbok, giraffe, and several other species. The trophy quality was outstanding, with many animals achieving Gold Medal standards. In total, I harvested twelve animals, eight of which qualified for Gold Medal recognition—an achievement I am incredibly proud of. After each day's hunt, we returned to camp for excellent meals before heading out again in the evenings to hunt predators and smaller cats. Every day offered a new adventure, and I honestly could not have asked for a better hunting experience. The accommodations were first-class, the food was exceptional, and every aspect of the safari exceeded my expectations. Equally impressive was Walter's on-site taxidermy facility, where every trophy is professionally prepared and cared for to the highest standard. If you're looking for a world-class African hunting safari with exceptional service, outstanding trophy quality, and unforgettable memories, I highly recommend Walter and his team. A true Class A operation! — Dave Slaybaugh”

“We returned to Across Africa Tours and Safaris for another outstanding African hunting adventure, and once again, it exceeded all our expectations. On the very first day, I successfully harvested a magnificent Cape Buffalo, including an exceptional 42.5-inch herd bull—an unforgettable start to our safari. Walter also arranged an incredible excursion to Victoria Falls, giving our group the opportunity to experience one of Africa's greatest natural wonders. During our travels, we also located the biggest warthog on his property, making the trip even more memorable. Every member of our group had the experience of a lifetime and returned home with unforgettable memories. Bob, Anna, Joyce, and I have shared countless photos and videos of our African adventure with family, friends, and students. Watching wildlife in its natural environment and spending time around Walter's famous big cats made the experience truly unique. The professionalism, hospitality, outstanding hunting, and attention to every detail made this another safari we will never forget. We highly recommend Walter and his team to anyone looking for a first-class African hunting and wildlife experience. John Bartsch, DE, USA”

“Our return to Africa this year was truly unforgettable. Once again, our safari with Walter Slippers exceeded every expectation. Not only did we enjoy an incredible hunting experience, but I was fortunate enough to harvest a record-book crocodile, a record-book caracal, and Nikki harvested her beautiful record-book sable. It was a dream safari from start to finish. This trip was even more special because we chose Ingogo - Across Africa Tours and Safaris as the place to celebrate our wedding. Walter and his incredible team found the perfect location in the African bush and created a ceremony that was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Everything was perfectly organized, making it one of the most memorable days of our lives. Eight years earlier, during our very first visit, we knew this would be the perfect place to get married. Returning to make that dream come true was an experience we will cherish forever. The hospitality, professionalism, and genuine friendship shown by Walter, his family, and the entire staff made us feel right at home. Every detail was taken care of, and every day was filled with unforgettable memories. Thank you to everyone at Ingogo for giving us eight incredible years of hunting adventures, friendship, and memories that will last a lifetime. We cannot recommend Walter and his team highly enough to anyone looking for an authentic African hunting experience combined with world-class hospitality. — Joe & Nikki Krause Ohio, USA”

“I have been fortunate enough to hunt in Africa many times, but this trip was especially meaningful because I wanted to share the experience with my family. Choosing Ingogo -Across Africa Tours and Safaris was one of the best decisions I could have made. From the moment we arrived, Walter and his entire team made us feel like part of the family. The hospitality was outstanding, the lodge was first-class, and the hunting was simply second to none. Every member of my family had an unforgettable time. Whether it was the incredible wildlife, the warm atmosphere around camp, or the professional service we received every day, the experience exceeded all of our expectations. One of the highlights for the kids was spending time with Ingogo's pet lions, creating memories they still talk about today. Our safari was everything we had hoped for and more. In fact, we were already planning our next adventure before we even left, with a leopard hunt at the top of our list. If you're looking for an authentic African safari with exceptional hunting, outstanding hospitality, and memories that will last a lifetime, I highly recommend Walter and his team. Thank you for giving my family the adventure of a lifetime. We can't wait to return. — Wally Dallenbach Jr. Texas”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Walter at the Harrisburg Outdoor Show, where I booked my plains game safari. From the moment I landed in Johannesburg until the day I flew home, Walter personally ensured that every detail of my trip was taken care of. The VIP airport assistance made clearing customs and firearm paperwork quick and stress-free, allowing us to head straight to camp without any delays. From the very beginning, I knew I was in good hands. The lodge exceeded every expectation. It offered the comfort and atmosphere of a luxury hotel, with beautifully appointed rooms, outstanding cuisine, and a professional team dedicated to making every guest feel at home. Every meal was exceptional, and the hospitality made me feel like part of the family. At 72 years old, with artificial knees in both legs, I was naturally concerned about the physical demands of hunting. Walter and his professional hunting team carefully planned every stalk around my abilities, ensuring I remained comfortable while still enjoying exciting and successful hunts. I never felt rushed or pushed beyond my limits. The quality of the game was simply outstanding—far beyond anything I had experienced on previous African safaris. During my hunt, I harvested an exceptional Blue Wildebeest, a magnificent Nyala, a trophy Waterbuck, and a beautiful Livingstone Eland. Every one of my trophies qualified for the SCI Record Book. Another major advantage was Walter's world-class, on-site taxidermy facility. Every trophy was professionally handled from the moment it was harvested, eliminating unnecessary transport to third-party facilities and significantly reducing the time it took for my trophies to arrive safely back home in the United States. My safari with Walter and his team was everything I had hoped for and more. Their professionalism, attention to detail, outstanding trophy quality, and genuine friendship made this one of the finest hunting experiences of my life. I am already planning my next safari with Walter and would highly recommend Across Africa Tours & Safaris to anyone considering an African hunting adventure—whether it is your very first safari or your twentieth. — Ed Albright Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA”
