About this hunt

1:1 TAILOR-MADE FREE-RANGE HUNT We pride ourselves on being a free-range, fair chase outfit. There is no such thing as an easy-given hunt, you earn your trophy. We make use of spot and stalk as our main method of hunting. This provides the hunter with thrilling active hunts. Nocturnal jackal hunting with predator callers is the only hunt we do from a vehicle as this gives us an elevated seat and a steady shooting rest. Bushpig hunting takes place at our bushpig baiting sites. Hunting for bushpig is thrilling, known as the “poor man's leopard” hunt. We have ground blinds available for the avid bow hunters. The hunting terrain is extremely diverse: Hunt our national animal, the beautiful springbuck in shrub-covered plains. Spend some time in dense ravines looking for the elusive grey ghost of Africa (Kudu). If you are up to the challenge, try hunting some of our challenging mountain species. There are few feelings as satisfying as successfully harvesting your prey high up in the mountains after pushing yourself to your physical limits. We encourage hunters of all physical abilities and ages to contact us, as we can tailor a safari to your physical abilities. We believe that there should be nothing stopping any person on this beautiful planet from experiencing the wonder that is the South African bush. MINIMUM HUNT DURATION: 3 hunting days & 4 nights. With the arrival and departure days, this safari requires a total of 5 days. ADDITIONAL DAYS: Can be booked at the regular rate. HUNTERS: 1 Hunter x 1 Professional Hunter We reserve the right to change any terms, conditions and prices without notice. Rates at the time of the hunt will apply.
