Hunting Conditions

Southern Africa has a great variation in topography and a vast diversity of vegetation and climate offering hunting opportunities varying from wind swept plains to lush forested mountainous terrain, the legendary Bushveldt ecosystems and rolling grass plains.

The hunting methods that may be employed range from the much preferred walk and stalk method, shooting from a hide at watering holes (bow hunters only), driven hunts which are particularly suited to hunting on the vast open plains of the Karoo (where stalking is often nearly impossible) and spotting from hunting vehicles followed by tracking and stalking of a suitable quarry.

We are proud to be able to guarantee that all animals hunted with us will be good representative examples of trophy quality which will qualify with Safari Club International (SCI) and in some cases may even be Rowland Ward qualifiers.

Although we do allow situations where a single Professional Hunter is accompanied by a maximum of two hunters, we strongly advise that every hunter should be accompanied by his or her own Professional Hunter on a one-on-one basis.  This ensures that the hunter receives the Professional Hunter’s undivided attention and maximizes the opportunities for obtaining the best possible quarries.

We conduct safaris throughout the year, however we do recommend the months of April to October when the days are mild to warm, and the evenings and mornings are cool to cold. Please rest assured that each hunt and/or photographic safari will be carefully planned to suit the personal requirements of the hunter or photographer as close as possible.

If required, we also offer a video service at a pre-arranged fee, which will ensure that you have a professionally filmed and edited record of your African Hunt.

Even though Southern Africa has a staggering array of ethnic groups and cultures , English is widely understood and used and all Professional Hunters and field staff are proficient in English and experienced hosts.

The standard wall outlet supply voltage in southern Africa is 220 Volts (50 Hz), and it is therefore not recommended to use appliances rated at 110 Volts.  Many suitable travel adapters are available from various Automobile Association’s commercial outlets.   Southern Africa is linked to most countries around the world via a direct dialing telephone network and GSM cell phones work in most areas on main highway routes.  Your professional hunter will always be in possession of a mobile (cell) phone.
