EP25: Crusader Safaris (Outfitter Spotlight)

<p>Andrew Pringle grew up hunting in South Africa, then spent a decade guiding whitetail and mule deer in Alberta before building Crusader Safaris into 800,000 free range acres back home. No high fences, no farmed game, animals living where they&#39;ve always lived.</p><p>In this conversation, Andrew breaks down what actually separates a free range hunt from a high-fenced one, why the majority of his clients come back within a few years, and how giving local communities a real stake in the wildlife has made poaching a non-issue in most of his areas. He also talks through the three conservancies (Umkomaas, Stormberg, and the Baviaansriver), what a first South Africa hunt should look like species-wise, and why he thinks it&#39;s one of the easiest, best-value first international hunts a North American hunter can book.</p><p><br></p><p>Robbie also shares that Let&#39;s Go Guided is bringing a group to hunt the Baviaansriver Conservancy with Crusader Safaris in June 2027, with five-day and seven-day packages and room for a custom trip. </p><p>Want in on it? </p><p><strong>DM</strong> us on Instagram (@letsgoguided_) or<strong> Email</strong> <a href="mailto:lindsay@letsgoguided.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">lindsay@letsgoguided.com</a>. </p><p>Come for the hunting, stay for the comradery, the filming, and an experience none of us will forget!</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Crusader Safaris:</strong>🌐 crusadersafaris.com📸 @crusader_safaris</p><p><br></p><p>Photography credit: Courtesy of Crusader Safaris</p><p><br></p>
