About this hunt
SIMPLY THE BEST The Greywing Francolin hunt is a walk-up shoot over pointing dogs and has been described as champagne shooting with the “Rolls Royce” of the African gamebirds. English Pointers are used to hunt, point and retrieve the birds. Greywing can be found in coveys of between five and twenty birds, sit tight for pointers and can flush in singles, pairs, or at once. The Greywing hunt takes place in the pristine highlands of the Sneeuberg mountain range north of the historic town of Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, at altitudes of between 1600 and 2100 meters above sea level. You can expect to walk in excess of 7 miles or 10 kilometres per day. You will experience classic shooting to bag one of the fastest upland gamebird in the world while observing endless vistas and breath-taking mountain topographies few travellers will ever lay eyes on. We also combine this with exciting hunting for Guineafowl as well as other Francolin and Spurfowl species in prime areas where these birds occur. No hidden costs, Booking well in advance is essential, Ethical & Sustainable practices are adhered to. Double guns only on Upland, Sandgrouse, Greywing & Driven hunts! Additional hunting days can be added to any package as per the price list. Enquire about our other Exclusive Wild Bird Hunts HUNTERS: Minimum 3 guns, preferably 4 to 5 guns.

The operator is a true professional and gentleman, with excellent dogs. Tim has a great rapore with people and cannot do enough for the client. He is to be highly recommended.
The meet and greet, the accommodation, the English pointers, the scenery, the food, the actual hunt!
nothing.
Tim Van Heerden arranged a perfect hunt to suit my needs: LOTSS of geese, pleantiful ducks and exciting white wing. He tailored the hunt to my goals: successsfully. Good fellow to share a blind with and a campfire at night.
loved It all as did my Labrador
