Argentina Dove Hunting, Brazil Peacock Bass Fishing, Alaska Fishing trips and more...

Welcome to Trek International Safaris

Hard to believe but 2011 is in the books and by all accounts, it was a very encouraging and exciting year. I know many of you who own small businesses like me, are looking for brighter days ahead and I remain positive we will.

Looking back over the year, we are very thankful that our new Guayascate Lodge in Cordoba, Argentina was running on all cylinders for the first full yearand was a hit from day one. And why not, it is 18,000 square feet of incredibly well designed luxury against a rural backdrop of rolling hills covered with Piquillin trees that is home to millions of eared dove. Simply, this is the best wingshooting lodge I have ever had the opportunity to visit, and I have been to a few in my day. I encourage you to call our office and get a date for you and your buddies in 2012 or 2013 as many dates are already committed this year. While some lodges pride themselves on being cramped full with two or three guests per room in mixed groups, Guayascate and our other deluxe lodges in Cordoba can be reserved with single rooms for as little as eight or ten guests for your exclusive party.

We made it a point in 2011 to re-focus on Africa, both from a hunting and non-hunting prospective. With Trek’s partnership with Wilderness Safaris, we now have access to the finest photographic camps in Africa and in the coming months you will see some exciting programs in our newsletter on our website.

Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Malawi and the Seychelles will all be represented with exciting game viewing programs and unparalleled tented luxury. Along with the African bush experience, Trek can also deliver extended stays to Victoria Falls, Cape Town, Johannesburg and the Garden Route. My wife Cara and I visited Africa in November and were very impressed with all facets of our travel there.

With regards to big game hunts in Africa, you may notice we are offering a few select trips in the Big Game market, especially a very nice Cape Buffalo hunt in Mozambique. Our outfitter Mark Haldane has 20 year lease on several concessions (Coutada’s) there and yielding excellent trophies at great value. Moz is now considered a rising star both in tourism and the business sector and while still largely undeveloped, more plans are in the hopper for expanded game hunts. In the coming months you will see a plains game hunt in South Africa and Namibia as well as an all new bird shoot that will be revealed in February 2012.

Big Game hunts in general will continue to be bigger part of our portfolio in 2012. We already offer Red Stag hunts in Argentina and New Zealand and will soon be adding Ibex and Stag hunts in Spain, and other parts of Europe. Stay tuned as 2012 will be a great year to travel!!     

Thank you,
