Dangerous Game
Our dangerous game destinations are tried and tested with an expansive track record of successful safaris each season. Like any of our hunts, we conform to age based protocols and strict quota allocations each season to ensure sustainability and continuous quality. A typical dangerous game safari ranges between 7-18 days depending on species and destination.
Plains Game
Our vast selection of destinations across Southern Africa presents each area with its own list of plains game species endemic to the region. This allows hunters to experience new terrains, environment and style of hunting on each trip. A typical plains game safari ranges from 7-14 days and is often coupled with a buffalo hunt or other dangerous game. Plains game hunts are also the perfect starting point for first time hunters or family members to join.
Specialised Species
No one destination has all the species available to hunt in one place. To this we have privately owned properties within driving distance from the respective featured destinations where specialized species such as Red Duiker or Klipspringer can be hunted. Furthermore, we often accommodate our niche clientele with tailormade safaris where we travel the country in pursuit of rare and specialized species such as the Tiny Ten and nocturnal species.
Bow Hunting
With exclusive access to private bowhunting areas in South Africa with limited quotas each season, we are fortunate to be able to ensure an unspoiled archery experience. In addition, most of our featured destinations provide exciting stalking opportunities and dedicated bow hides. Although bowhunting is legal in most countries and regions, please be advised that we conform to each region’s respective regulations accordingly.
Wing Shooting
Some of our hunting concessions offer fantastic wing shooting opportunities either on or nearby the hunting concession. Depending on the season, flight patterns and abundance of game birds, you may be able to enjoy the challenge of upland birds over well-trained pointers, doves and pigeons over agriculture fields, or even taking a limit of sand grouse at dusk.
Excursions
It is becoming increasingly popular for hunters to bring companions on safari with them. Although each hunting destination hosts a healthy population of game and activities for non-hunters, we have compiled a list of activities and photographic destinations within close proximity to experience either during or after the hunt itself. Upon booking a hunt at our respective destinations our team will provide the list for you and your family or companions to consider.
