From start to finish, we have all the safari related products you need, plus answers to your questions. While we have plenty of great things going on, our focus will always be on you, our customers.

Thank you for all your ideas and continued support.



(1.) Everything You Need...Right Here!
Over the years we have dramatically expanded our offering as a result of customer requests to simplify the task of getting outfitted for their Safari.  They did not want to go through the hassle of purchasing their gear from multiple outlets only to find out too late that some of it was not up to the rigors of the Dark Continent.  They wanted the ability to go to one place to buy all the safari proven gear they needed for their trip.  

Today, we are pleased to announce you can get everything you need….RIGHT HERE! We have gone out and complemented our extensive range of custom-crafted products with the most trusted brands in the business; TUFFPAK airline cases, Craig Boddington books and DVD’s, The Courteney Boot Company,  Swarovski Optics, Camelbak Hydration Systems, and much, much more. 


Now you can buy all your airline approved rifle cases and luggage you need to pack for your trip, get your Craig Boddington safari books and DVD’s for the flight over/back and secure the very best gear to ensure an enjoyable, safe and successful hunt.  When it is all over, you can also buy authentic African Jewelry, furnishings and Trophy Room accents to relive your incredible experience at home without having to worry about carting products purchased in Africa through several airports and then clearing them through US Customs/Fish and Game.

You asked for us to simplify the process and we listened.  Please keep your input flowing as that is the only way we will be able to continue offering the products and services you are looking for.Back to Top


(2) We have formed a 10 person Pro Staff
One of the things we have heard over and over again is how much our customers like being able to talk to knowledgeable people who could answer any questions they might have. As our business has grown, we had to tap into the knowledge of others to ensure you received the information and products needed. 

On that note, we are pleased to announce we have established a “Big Five” Pro-Staff of African PH’s that includes:

  • Dirk de Bod from Namibia who won the 2008 SCI PH of the Year and is one of the most skilled PH’s on the Dark Continent today.
  •  Johan Calitz, who was the primary PH featured on the “Under Wild Skies” TV show with Tony Makris.  This is the gentleman who Craig Boddington took his largest elephant with a few years back.  Johan takes more big tuskers out of Botswana and Mozambique than anyone else year in and year out.
  •  John Sharp from Zimbabwe who is a consistent winner at the Zimbabwe PH Awards banquet and in 2006 took honors for both the largest elephant and largest leopard to come out of the country that year.
  • Douglas McNeil was the PH featured on the “Cabela’s Dangerous Game” TV Show and is a third generation hunter who works in Tanzania.  He is equally adept with a fly rod or a camera and has hunted all over the world.
  • Charles Price from South Africa whose father was one of the Game Ranch Pioneers who re-established many of the native species of that country and made it one of the premier plains game destinations.  Charles has been hunting for almost his entire life and runs a great operation.
  • We also have several of the best know North American Guides and FHS’s (Female Hunters and Shoppers who select the Jewelry/Accessories) on board to ensure any new products will meet our high performance and aesthetic standards. Please go to our web site for complete details on the additional members of our Pro Staff.

It is important to point out that every individual on our Pro Staff used our gear before we asked them to join the group.  They did not all of a sudden become fans of ours because of this recent development.  Equally important is the fact we have feet on the ground in the most popular African and North American hunting destinations and we can contact them on your behalf to get real-time answers to your questions.

(3) Sporting Wood Creations has been renamed to African Sporting Creations

When we started out six years ago, we only offered one product, African Shooting Sticks made out of wood, hence the name Sporting Wood Creations.   Interestingly enough, that first product, after many improvements just received the most coveted award in the industry, a “Gray’s Best".

Read ArticleSince that first product,  we have added over 200 custom made creations that include British Campaign Furniture, hand-crafted knives and Cape buffalo products, just to name a few.  As we have expanded into branded products and those made of canvas, steel and hide our name has become too limiting and we knew we needed a new one. The good folks at Safari Classics came up with, “African Sporting Creations”.  This new name more accurately captures our African focus, the much broader range of products we now offer and is close enough to be familiar to all our existing customers.  Don’t worry about losing track of us, your existing bookmarks, phone numbers and the search engines will still bring you to our doorstep. We hope you like it.
