South Africa II
South Africa I
TESTIMONIALS: South Africa
It’s hard to start a testimonial on my trip to South Africa with The Other Side Adventures. Will and Hannah became instant family. From the second I walked off the plane in South Africa in a new country they both made me feel as ease. The adventure started right away and there was instant bonding between all of us. It was late by the time we got to where we were staying, and we all settled in after an amazing meal. The next morning, we were set to start hunting. My bride Michele flew in after the rest of us and got there the morning that we were started to hunt. She didn’t miss much time at all and fell right into the groove with the rest of us. It was like a family trip and it was only the first morning. We all cheered on each other and took turns harvesting animals. I was just as excited when one of the other hunters harvested as I was for my own. There was no end to the adventure. Everywhere we looked there were amazing animals and so many different species to look at and chase around. None of us wanted to separate and go another direction. We all wanted to stay together as a group and that was all thanks to Will and Hannah. I’ve never met such genuine people and I am forever grateful for this once in a lifetime trip! My bride and I were able to share so much with not only each other, but with everyone else as well. Every detail was genuine, and it was the most fun I’ve ever had. The staff at both farms were phenomenal and did everything they could to make our trip even better. We hunted hard enough that going back to the lodge for lunch never happened. We were having too much fun and didn’t want to stop. Every day was a new adventure and we seemed to hunt from sunup until sun down. My only regret was that I didn’t bring my bow. I still think about Will, Hannah, and Africa every day. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to add Will and Hannah as family. I will always have South Africa as one of the greatest memories of my life. This is all thanks to Will, Hannah, and The Other Side Adventures. From the bottom of my heart thank you so very much for everything.

Well, I first want to start off saying I am so glad that I got to go on this trip and it means a lot to me that they did this for me. The past couple years have been really hard for me and when I found out, I was going on this trip, it just completely blew me away. The trip made me believe like there’s bad people in the world, but there’s also really really good people and that there’s another side then just the bad side and uncle Will and aunt Hannah have been very awesome and I’m so glad I got to meet them. When I first shot my axis, I felt like my adventure wasn’t even over yet and I felt like there was a big weight lifted off my shoulders. I was so excited and I couldn’t thank Uncle Will enough for what they did for me is something that I will hold for ever. I was so scared but so excited and having my dad there was the greatest thing ever. Once I meet Will and the team I wasn’t scared at all because they made me know they loved me and would protect me. When I shot me oryx, let me tell you, I probably felt as good and proud as I’ve ever felt. I was a pretty lucky kid and drew a tag for gems buck oryx in New Mexico. At that time I was having a really hard time with everything that had happened and I was getting really homesick and I didn’t get a chance to shoot one we almost canceled the trip because my dad knew how hard of a time I was having but I really wanted to try. I was very proud of myself and then I still knew my adventure wasn’t over I’m so thankful for everything my dad, uncle Will, Hannah, and everybody else that was there have done for me. They’re all my family. I am so glad to be part of that trip the Other Side Ventures, you guys are awesome and they’re really nice people and I know that they’ll be there for me whenever I need it. And, like I said, the past few years have been really hard for me, and this just made me feel better about myself that I was worthy and you can do anything If you put your mind to it. I will never forget the day I shot those animals. and I will never forget uncle Will and aunt Hannah. They have been a big impact on my life. I love them so much and Uncle Will tells me all the time our adventures aren’t over never and I just can’t wait for another adventure and you guys should always feel good about yourself and put your mind to stuff because you can do it even though it’s hard, just keep pushing until you get to the point where you want to. Do something that makes you feel awesome about yourself and keep doing it because it’s going to make you feel really good and that’s how I felt on that Hunt and not just that it made my mind think about other stuff than the bad stuff because I remembered that Hunt and I thought about it when I was going through hard times and I thought about uncle Will and how much he helped me, always another side not just the bad side. There’s a really good side. You just have to get to it and I’m so glad I got to the hunt because I would not be in the position I am right now if I wasn’t on that hunt. My life has changed a lot because of that day and I will never forget it. Please take my advice and do the things you love to do because it’s gonna get you really far in life and one thing I have learned is never give up and hope in yourself and thank you again, uncle Will and aunt Hannah. I love you guys!
