Hunting Information

We hunt throughout the year but in general the winter times are better, from late April to end August. The days are cooler and the bush makes for good hunting conditions. For some of our exotic species like Fallow Deer, we usually prefer hunting them earlier in the year from mid-January to end-April. Sheep hunting is done throughout the year including some of the bigger deer species.

It is very rare that you won't get the opportunity to hunt all the animals that you are after. We keep a close eye one all our concessions and the number of game that we have. Should a certain animal not be available for any reason whatsoever, you will not pay for it, or if you want, we can substitute it with another animal in the same price range.

We do prefer that you bring your own rifle but we have a range of calibers available for you to rent. If you do decide to bring your rifle, please make sure that you are comfortable with it but we will sight-in the rifles before the Safari starts. In general, a .30 calibre or 300 Win Mag for plains game is a good choice. For dangerous game the legal minimum calibre is .375.

You will only be charged for the animals that you hunt or wound. In the case of a packaged hunt, you can substitute the animal with one in the same or lower prices range because the prices are already reduced. We can also build you a custom or bespoke hunting package that will suite your requirements and needs.

It can be anything from 70 yards up to 250 yards depending on the terrain where we hunt or the type of animal.

We can accommodate larger groups up to 14 people depending on the lodge where we hunt, but we have seen that groups between 4 - 6 people works well. When the group is bigger, we usually split up and hunt on different properties or different parts of the concession during the day and meet up again in the afternoon or evening.

We serve 3 meals a day, all authentic African cuisine, as well as snacks throughout the day. Soft drinks, bottled water, table wine with beer (in moderation) are all included in your daily rates. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know in advance and we will cater our meals to suit your needs.

We have various ranches and concessions that range from 2270 acres up to +30000 acres. It all depends where and what you want to hunt, and what your specific requirements and needs might be. We prescribe to fair chase and ethical hunting practices with sustainable hunting and conservation as our main focus.

South Africa is as safe as anywhere else in the world. We will pick you up at O.R Tambo International Airport and escort you to where we will be conducting the Hunting Safari. No shots are required and the only one we recommend may be Tetanus, which you should keep up to date anywhere.

During the safari, we will do all the field preparations for the taxidermy and take the utmost care of them. Once the safari is concluded, all your trophies are then taken to our taxidermy partner that will contact you and send you an invoice for either the mounting your trophies if you wish to do it locally, or dip & pack and shipping. It is recommend to have an import agent in your home country to receive this crate with your trophies. Upon arrival they can either forward on to your taxidermist, or send the trophies directly to your home via Ground freight.

Contact your service provider before you leave to make sure you have international service. Your mobile phone will work in most areas, but we encourage you to turn-off your data, so you are not billed at data rates which can be excessive. Some service providers provide international Data packages and some of our Lodges have WIFI available.

Either your Outfitter or your Professional Hunter (PH) will be waiting for you as you come out of customs. Depending on the time that your flight arrived, we either spend the first evening at the guest house or hotel or we go directly to the lodge where we will be conducting the hunting safari. Your professional hunter will accompany your throughout the safari to ensure that you are well looked after.

Unfortunately all animals that were wounded and lost will be charged in full as per our price list. We have great trackers and PH's that will do their very best to find your animal for you. Listen to what your PH tells you and where to place the shot and you can rest assured that your animal will not run far.

We will provide you with a final invoice the night before your departure. All payments are to be made in cash or wire transfer only. Gratuities are not mandatory, but they are typically expected on an African Safari.
