Our trip with Bowker Safaris was an experience we will never forget. The accommodations were wonderful, every meal delicious..The hunting was even more than we expected we were able to get all the animals that we had planned on. Our experiences ranged from animals to casinos, golf courses to the ocean, shopping and dining it was all wonderful. Hunt and travel with the Bowker family for a vacation experience you will never forget. Shorty & Sally Silva.

..a slow morning was seeing 6 or 7 types of game. The hunting included several exciting stalks, most of which were successful and provided great opportunities for all of us to take prize animals. The facilities were very comfortable, the food was wonderful with many opportunities to eat the same animal species that you might be hunting. My non-hunting wife had a great time going to the local towns to shop and sightsee with Jenny. We have plans to return in 2005. Werter family.

I have hunted with Bowker Safaris 4 times.Guides are knowledgable, facilities pleasant, and their buffet style three meals a day offers a nice array of food including a taste of the game being hunted. In addition to the hunting, Bowker Safaris is extremely helpful in organizing any sightseeing that you might want to do. Bill Parsons.

...hunting is excellent, quality of the game outstanding. My wife, son and daughter have had two safaris with the Bowkers. My son and I hunted while my wife and daughter toured and shopped. Jenny, Frank, Meyrick and Denham made our stay very much fun and memorable. My wife and I celebrated our 25th wedding at Thorn Kloof. What a special occasion. The food is always delicious but that evening they outdid themselves. We are planning to return a third time in the very near future. Ennis family.

I have hunted with the Bowkers on two safaris and hope to hunt with them again. Lots of animals, great food, accommodations, with a very experienced staff to make my safaris very memorable. NEVER A DULL MOMENT. Thomas B. Cacy

My hunt with Frank Bowker in the Eastern Cape was fun, rewarding and outstanding in all aspect. Frank has a lifetime experience as a Ph and is familiar with the game and terrain, so he constantly finds trophy quality animals. I stayed in the guest house at Thorn Kloof and was accepted into the family and enjoyed outstanding meals. Best of all, Jenny, Frank, Meyrick and Denham have remained my good hunting friends and we correspond frequently via the internet and renew our friendship each year at the SCI convention. Bob Shelton.

My hunt with Bowker Safaris exceeded all of my expectations. Wayne Rathcke

The Hartebeest is a large ungulate ranging from 1.5 m to 2.45 m in length. Its tail is 300 to 700 mm and shoulder height is 1.1 to 1.5 m. It is characterized by a steeply sloping back, long legs, large glands below the eyes, a tufted tail, and a long, narrow rostrum. It has paler patches of hair on most of its rump and chest and on parts of its face. It has been suggested that the pale hair on the rump may be presented in attracting mates or to ward off aggressors. It inhabits the savannahs and grasslands of Africa. It is tolerant of high grasses and may be found in woodland or scrubs and more often in countries such as Botswana, Namibia, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Kenya.

Elands live in both steppe and sparse forests. They are also found in semi desert areas and at elevations up to 14400 ft. They are confined to southern Africa from Ethiopia and southern Zaire to South Africa. During the heat of the day, they are often found in shaded areas. The males are much larger than females, weighing 400-1000 kg compared to 300-600 kg for females. Hides are a uniform fawn color with some vertical white striping on the upper parts. A dewlap, thought to be an adaptation for heat dissapation, hangs from the throat and neck. Heavy horns are twisted in a corkscrew fashion and grow up to 4 ft. long on males, 2.2 ft. long on females. A short mane occurs on the nape, and males have long hairs on the throat.

Presently the Bontebok is found only on game farms and reservations throughout South Africa. They with the Blesbok occurred historically on grassy plains which may or may not of had trees. They reach a mass of between 50 and 80 kg's. They have the same adult color pattern, relatively dark dorsal pelage contrasting sharply with high, white stockings and buttocks. Bontebok have a dark and glossy, purplish-brown dorsal pelage, and the blesbok reddish-brown dorsal pelage. The Bontebok mate mainly in February while the Blesbok mates mainly in April.
