Going to SCI Nashville to book Buffalo/Sable hunt in SA for 2025. Is this too late to book a hunt?

[Nick BOWKER HUNTING SOUTH AFRICA]

I made my reservations to the 2025 SCI Nashville Convention. This will be my 1st national convention. I'm planning on finding and booking a South Africa hunt for both Cape Buffalo and Sable. I've been to SA before on a Plains game hunt. But my dream hunt has always been for a big Cape Buff 42"+ and a respectable dark black Sable. Is this a good time to book a hunt for 2025 or should I plan on doing this ahead of time? I do have some outfitters I'm targeting, but I really wanted to meet them 1st. I'd hate to get to Nashville and find out that I waited too long, or am I planning it just right! Also any recommendations on SA Safari Outfitters for this dream hunt? Thanks!!!

Hi Harry

Thanks for getting in touch. We don’t go to the shows anymore. We are pretty much book up for 2025. There should be loads of good outfitter at the convention. Can maybe ask publicly which sponsors on this website will be there. And start a conversation with them.

Kind regards
Rob
