I have hunted my entire life in Alberta, Canada where ranch hunts don't really exist. Amakala lodge has left a lasting impression and a new respect for this style of hunting.

I just returned from a trip to new Zealand with my entire family. We purchased the trip as an auction item at a fundraiser event. We spent a week a with Avon Valley Safaris, which was a phenomenal experience. The trip was set up through Cody @ Charity Safaris. All arrangements were beyond expectations and the hunting was very good. I had taken my two sons and son-in-law for the hunting experience. They vary greatly in experience, but all had a great time. Two stags and one fallow were taken with archery, one stag and two fallows with rifles. The quality of the trophies was excellent. My wife, daughter, and daughter-in-law joined us on the trip and absolutely loved the food, wine touring, fishing, and hiking on the ranch and shopping in the local towns. It was an amazing trip and we are very thankful to Charity Safaris and Avon Valley Safaris.
