Round The Fire With Kingsview Safaris

I put out a call on social media for some hunting stories and by goodness did the hunting community respond.   This weeks episode I give a brief bit of advice for those heading to the hunting shows in the US and frankly, anyone else that may be planning a trip to Africa. Then I jump straight into two fantastic hunting stories shared by Ron and Michael from the US, who so kindly took up the call for hunting stories and decided to share their experience of hunting in Africa.   Enjoy!

This past hunting season here in Texas has been extra special for the family, for many different reasons. The most significant for me was achieving a life long dream of helping my kids hunt their first animals. I thought what a fitting way to celebrate their first success and official designation as hunters, than to bring them onto the podcast as guests and have them share their story of how they hunted their first deer here in Texas, with the listeners.   Enjoy the episode everyone and all the very best for 2026.

I have run hunts in Africa and I have run hunts in Texas. One would assume they are the same, but in reality they are vastly different.   In this episode, I share some insight into what it was like prepping for a hunt here in Texas versus how we would prepare for a hunt back in South Africa. I talk about the new aspects of hunting in Texas I had to learn, such as blind and feeder placement, the correct judging of Whitetail age and how to go to war with wasps!   Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you all.

A little different episode today for you folks, but one I am sure you will enjoy none the less. I was recently a guest on Cable Smith's podcast The Lone Star Outdoor Show, where talked of course everything hunting related, but also a small project I had been working on with a few buddies of mine.   Enjoy and remember to rate and review the podcast.   Cheers!

I really enjoyed having a chat with Travis from Georgia on this episode, for two reasons. The first being, he hunted in the same area of South Africa where I had hunted many times with clients and also a youngster. So it was great hearing the perspective of another hunter about an area I hold closely.  The second reason being, Travis took his two daughters with him on his first African safari and by the sounds of his stories and the admiration coming from him as a father, those girls had a literal blast.   I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, then take a couple seconds to leave a rating and review. Much appreciated!   If you would like to reach out to Travis to ask him any questions about his trip, then you can do so right here: [email protected]
