Jacques Spamer is a honest, hard working and highly skilled PH. His equipment and staff are first rate. I took my wife who does not hunt and my son who does. They both had a great time. Jacques works to make sure the entire experience is great. His hunting concession is large and the terrain is varied with lots of thick cover. This is a real hunt. All of the animals we took were by stalking and typically the stalks were lengthy and challenging. The game is abundant but wary. It made for an excellent hunting experience. We took a total of 11 animals between myself and my son and all of them were fine trophies. Jacques will make sure that only mature trophy animals are taken. If the animal is not a mature high quality trophy, Jaques will have you pass and search for a different animal. I really appreciated that Jacques will not take the easy way out and let his client take the wrong animal. He works hard to manage his hunting areas for quality game. I would recommend Jacques Spamer and Hartzview Safaris without hesitation and will hunt with Jacques agiain.

The trip with Jacques Spamer of Hartzview Safaris was fantastic. The equipment and camp were in excellent condition. Jacques and staff were very professional and made you feel like family. Jacques is hardworking and very effective. My son who is 16 years old hunted and my wife was an observer. They also had a great time and Jacques went above and beyond to make this a wonderful experience. This is a real hunt, we did not shoot any game from the truck. Several of the stalks very rather long and all were very exciting. Jacques will deliver a great hunt and make your trip one you will always remember fondly. I can't recommend Hartzview highly enough.
