" I have hunted in Africa many times in different countries with many different professional hunters and I can sincerely say that Johann Veldsman was one of the most dedicated guides that I have ever been with on safari. Not only does he give 100% into making sure that your hunt is successful, he makes the African experience a lot of fun. His hunting area is also excellent with fine trophies and a great place to take the family along as well."

"This was my first trip to Africa, I was traveling alone and had no idea of what to expect. As you would think I was nervous as well. Johann and Vera had me completely at ease and feeling like I had known them forever in no time at all. Being so at ease allowed me to enjoy the comforts of camp life right from the beginning.
Johann realized that this being my first trip to hunt in Africa that I had a lot to learn. He taught me what I needed to know without me realizing I was being taught. Before the end of my trip I felt like I knew what I was doing. This came in handy as there was lots of game to be stalked. We saw animals every day. All in all it was a great hunt and experience, I have already booked another hunt."

" This is a very friendly and comfortable camp, it is a pleasure to stay here, the food was excellent. Johann is a very good PH and Tjokkie compliments him well. They seek out nice trophies and not just animals. The trip to Etosha was a highlight as well as my first African game, a Duiker witch will find its way into the record books. This is what I expected from an African hunt and hospitality I look forward to returning."

"Thank you for introducing us to the Namibian experience in such a grand style - with such hard work, good fun, good food and world-class hospitality.
The game was abundant and gorgeous and we are taking our share home. But the trophies are not things we will hang on the wall, but the moments around the bo ma fire and laughing and kidding each other while the southern cross floats in the heavens; the sunrise and sunset; Zoë having a sip of your milkshake; Tjokkie making the girls laugh; the sunlight in your smiles.
Thanks again in love and friendship."
Bill and David Powell |
"Thanks so much for your hospitality, you made our trip a wonderfully experience. You made our dreams come true for our African trip. We will be back because of you.
We will never forget the adventures in the bush and mountains ( those damn mountains! ). Thanks for all the laughs and stories you told and we are glad to make such great new friends. Keep the barbwire cold for us for when we come back.
Thanks for everything."
Heath and Samantha Springer |
"Thanks for another fine African experience. You folks are becoming old friends. The camp is even more comfortable than last year, and the lodge and surroundings really add the African experience. I appreciate all the effort to make this a great hunt. Two Rowland Ward trophies is much more than one can expect, again thank you for the experience and great company."
Paul Skopic |
"What can I say , I moved from feeling at home last year to being a member of the family this year. I don't know how you can make a stranger or someone you only see once a year feel so welcome.When I return for my third trip with my family they will be able to understand for themselves the lure of Namibian safari life. Thank you for all of your love and care. My thoughts are never far away from you and camp. They are also constantly trying to come up with ways to come back. Till next we are together.
Best Always"

"We would like to thank you for this wonderfully "honey moon" hunting trip. we enjoy all the moments we spent with you in Shona. Your terrain is incredible and so beautiful. Thank you for your hospitality and your kindness. See you soon."
Laurent and Stephanie Guerton |
"This was a wonderfully introduction to Namibia. My nemesis , Mr kudu certainly had me running in circles. The mountain Zebra - what a wonderfully advisory in the pursuit of game. The tent camp seemed a perfect Africa Safari camp complete with flush toilets. While the rugged terrain around the lodge introduced me to a kind of Africa I'd never experienced. A great place to hike and observe, even with Leopards overhead....."

"These comments are from a client who has dreamed of a safari for 44 years literally. This is what we did EAT,DRINK,HUNT! Shona Hunting Adventures has made this pos sable. Al anxiety associated with the multiple variables of your 1st safari in a foreign land simply disapeared.We took genuine trophy animals in a relaxed, professional environment. Food is second to me , I'm a hunter. Truth is many wife's would only wish they could cook this well. My dreams have come true."
Thanks a plenty.
Gary Owens |
"Shona Hunting Adventures has exceeded my expectations of the African adventure I have dreamed about taking. The amount of game has startled me The animals that I have taken have been "trophy class". I would recommend this trip to any of my close friends or family"

"Johann, Vera, Zoë and Family
I can not thank each of you enough for helping me fulfill a dream - hunting in Africa. Your warm hospitality and attention to detail have provided me with an experience I'll never forget. Of course there are the obvious memories - shooting the animals, visiting Etosha + the Himba village, but there are so many small memories that made this trip truly special - really seeing the stars, showering with my friend the gecko at the tented camp, playing with Zoë, trying the various game meats. Thanks for your friendship, hospitality, patience and kindness.
Till we hunt again."
Dave Aumiller |
"Thank you for having us in your beautifully lodge. Our trip here has been unforgettable... The hunting was awesome, the fellowship was terrific and the memories we will take with us are unbelievable... We are sad it must come to an end.. but all good things must. We hope to return to Africa and visit (and hunt) with you again.
God bless you and your wonderful extended family..."

Staying with all of you for two weeks has been such a pleasure. If you all ever in Atlanta please do not hesitate to call. It would be a pleasure to enjoy your company again and take you out on the town !!!
Love always."

Thank you so much for such a wonderful adventure. You showed my family such outstanding hospitality, We will cherish our memories for a lifetime. Africa is such a special place and Tualuka is magical. Rita and Amelia had a great time. The Kudu chase will go down in history for me and when I'm too old to hunt I will dream of our Safari .
May the Lord smile on Shona"

My Family and I had a great time. You made us feel like family. I really enjoyed the hunt. I love unfinished business with a kudu, so I have an excuse to come back!!

| "Johann, Vera, Zoë and Tjokkie and the entire Staff including pets and mostly Mini Moo.
To much to say in words can`t express. From the first sunrise to the last "Barb wire" one unforgettable experience after another. The trophies we have taken were tremendous and they will sure remind us of your family hospitality and never ending hard work. This was more than the experience that we have expected. How can we top this the tented camp farm and the lodge were all perfect. This was Africa at its best.
Till we meet again."
Dennis and Deb Burian |
"Dear Johann, Vera, Zoë
Thank you for making our first trip to Africa an outstanding experience.
From The wonderful meals to toasting the days events with a sundowner around the campfire, Many vivid memories have been edged into our minds. You and your staff have welcomed us as family and in deed we feel as if you are a part of our extended family. Johann, I thoroughly enjoyed hunting with you and Tjokkie. You professionalism and dedication to your chosen profession is beyond reproach. Vera, your beautiful smiling face was a joy to behold after returning from a long days hunting, all tired and dusty. Zoë, all of your energy and enthusiasm reminded us of our boys, Shean and Chris some twenty or so years ago. You are a joy to be around and frequently brought a smile to our faces. As the famous author Peter Hathaway Capstick remarked 'Once you go on Safari to Africa you are bound to return."This is most definitely the case with us as we will most definitely be back."
