Just wondering if any of you know or know of this guy. A few weeks ago as we were getting ready to put on our local gun show, my wife ( she's the promoter) got a call from Ken. He told her he was an African outfitter and had a free weekend while here in the states. He asked if he could come and set up at the gun show. He found an add for the show and was passing through the area. She of course told him heck yea.
He came and set up and had a good time. Super nice guy and seems to have a really nice place in the Eastern Cape not far from Port Elizabeth. I checked out his website and some videos on youtube, looks good.
Anyway, just thought I would check and see if anyone on AH might know him. Philip
 
Can’t help, but he has a nice website.

Just returned from my first safari with Ken/Gamka Safaris, and can’t explain how amazing of an outfit he runs. Would recommend him to anyone and I am planning my next trip!

I’ve hunted with him 2 times. Great outfit to hunt with. Ken and Albert go way above and beyond what we ever expected.
The food is better than any restaurant I’ve ever eaten at here in the states.
I will be glad to answer any questions about our hunt.
 
I mirror Leon’s comments! I’ve been twice now with Ken and Albert, with my third trip in June 2025. I can’t wait, and as far as I’m concerned there is not a finer outfit available to hunt with.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark

Hello, I have giraffe leg bones similarly carved as well as elephant tusks which came out of the Congo in the mid-sixties
