Where you will hunt
Territory
Our guides are highly experienced, and will meet your needs as a hunter. Whether you wish to hunt in remote areas using spike camps, or make use of the convenience of the main lodge, your hunt can be tailored to suit your physical needs.
Some big game hunting in remote locations requires the use of horses and backpacking for any game hunted at higher elevations. Try to be at your best physical shape to be able to enjoy all that we have to offer.
