More about us

Our company was established in 2025 and operates in 1 territory.

The game reserve was founded in 2002 and has been hibernating for the past decade. Since 2025, it is now under new ownership and opened for business in 2026.
Set in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, this privately owned reserve offers a rare and authentic African safari experience. Completely unfenced and owner-managed, the land is protected with deep knowledge and pride, ensuring every hunt takes place in true wilderness.
Significant investment in conservation underpins the reserve’s success, with over 80 dams supporting wildlife and biodiversity, and more than 100 miles of dirt roads providing access while maintaining its untamed character.
The reserve offers exceptional plains game hunting alongside sought-after species such as Cape buffalo, as well as management hunting opportunities that contribute to long-term ecological balance.
Beyond hunting, guests can explore ancient Bushman rock art in a hidden cave or visit an abandoned gold mine—adding a rich sense of history and adventure to the experience.

About this hunt

MANAGEMENT HUNT We periodically offer a limited number of special-priced management packages. These hunts are designed to assist with responsible population management on the reserve while offering excellent hunting opportunities at a more accessible price level. Management packages typically focus on selected species and specific animals identified within our conservation plan. Hunts take place across the full range of NTONI terrain and are conducted under the same professional standards as our regular packages, with experienced Professional Hunters (PHs), trackers and skinners ensuring an efficient and rewarding hunting experience. These packages are particularly suitable for hunters who appreciate high-quality plains game hunting, flexible shot opportunities and the chance to take part in the practical wildlife management of a large Karoo reserve. Obviously, these packages can be extended to your wishes. DURATION: 5 hunting days / 6 nights HUNTERS: 2 Hunters x 1 Professional Hunter. The package price is per hunter. ANIMALS: 6 animals per hunter. OPTIONS: A combination of 5 Common Springbok or Blesbok or exchange 1 or 2 for a Warthog or Baboon per hunter. Plus a Blue Wildebeest each. OBSERVERS: Welcome ADDITIONAL DAYS/ANIMALS: Can be arranged on request.
