More about us

Our company was established in 1998 and operates in 1 territory.
The base camp is situated as a small oasis in the middle of the glorious Waterberg Mountains, amongst wildlife from all over the southern regions of Africa. Furthermore it is neighbours to the Welgevonden Big 5 Area, and only a short drive from Pilansberg National Park.

About this hunt

The area is enormous and has a very varied biodiversity. The daily driving distance is within a 30-60 min. drive. The hunt is usually done as a mix of driving in open safari jeeps to find the game, and stalking. These arrangements are done in close coordination with your PH (Professional Hunter) who always accompanies you during the hunt, and is there solely to assist and help in any way possible. Furthermore you will be accompanied by highly qualified Trackers that can find even the smallest of tracks left behind. A typical day starts at around 5.30, with a big continental breakfast followed by a quick drive to your designated hunting area where you, together with your PH and Tracker will start your hunt. As the heat starts to rise, and the animals stop being active, its time for a mid-day break. You either drive back to The Elephant Lodge, or you rest under a three whilst lunch is prepared. After an energizing meal and well deserved break you start up again, and continue until sunset – or when you wish to return to The Elephant Lodge. If you at any point want to stop for the day, or otherwise have any preferences, this is your prerogative. Nett price for 8 days stay including 7 days hunt 1:1 and a Sable trophy (35-40"). Trophy guarantee/refund for animals not delivered: Sable $3,500 refund. Sable can without charge be substituted for any other trophies according to the price list and will be credit according to above mentioned values. Additional payment $350 per inch for Sable 40+
