About hunting in Africa
For the hunter seeking a wide variety of game animals, beautiful country, century-old hunting traditions, and the spice of danger, hunting in Africa is an experience unmatched anywhere on Earth. Whether you choose to hunt plains game in southern Africa or take on Cape buffalo and elephant in the wilds of East Africa, a hunt on the African continent will create memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.
More than a dozen countries in Africa offer hunting in some form. The countries in southern Africa, especially South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe, are visited by the largest numbers of hunters. Hunting in these countries is accessible and affordable and provides an outstanding experience, especially for the first-timer. East Africa, especially Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Mozambique, holds large wilderness areas and good numbers of dangerous-game animals such as lions, buffalo, leopards, and elephants. Safaris in this region are true to the tradition of the luxury tented safaris of the mid-twentieth century. Safaris in western and central Africa appeal to experienced African hunters in search of very challenging game such as bongo and giant eland.
Most hunting in Africa is conducted “safari-style,” where hunters drive around the hunting area in open-topped vehicles searching for game or tracks of game. When game is sighted, hunters stalk on foot, or when fresh tracks are spotted, hunters disembark to follow on foot, sometimes for many hours. There are a few exceptions, such as leopard hunting, which is usually conducted from a blind over bait.
With such a wide variety of terrain, countries, and game animals to choose from, hunting in Africa holds something for everyone.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe, situated in the heart of southern Africa, is one of the continent’s most storied safari destinations. The country contains a wide variety of terrain and habitat, from the Zambezi Valley in the north to the game-rich Lowveld in the south.
Zimbabwe’s lengthy list of huntable game includes African wild cat, baboon, jackal, buffalo, klipspringer, kudu, bushbuck, bushpig, leopard, caracal, lion, civet cat, crocodile, nyala, duiker, eland, sable, elephant, serval cat, genet cat, steenbok, giraffe, grysbok, warthog, hippo, waterbuck, wildebeest, hyena, and zebra. The Zambezi Valley in particular is a major draw for big-game hunters, known for huge herds of elephants and one of the highest concentrations of Cape buffalo in Africa, as well as good populations of lions and leopards. The islands and marshes along the Zambezi also offer the opportunity to hunt hippos and crocodiles.
A number of large, privately owned conservancies, including the Save and the Bubye Valley conservancies, also provide excellent hunting opportunities for plains game and dangerous game. Many of these conservancies started out as traditional farms and later banded together to create large, unbroken tracts of wildlife habitat.
Mozambique
Mozambique is a country in south-east Africa, a former Portuguese colony. Mozambique became an independent state since 1975. This beautiful country is located on the Indian Ocean coast, opposite the island of Madagascar. Hunting areas occupy a significant part of the territory of country. After years of civil war and internal strife Mozambique is open for trophy hunters, and other adventurers. Hunting in Mozambique is real adventure: just imagine kilometers of open space and you have to look for a prey, to stalk, to fight. The fauna of the country is very rich. Mozambique is a home for antelopes. It’s worth noting one of the most beautiful trophies of Africa – Sable antelope, it inhabits almost the entire territory of Mozambique. Hunting in Mozambique gives a chance to hunt on animals of the Big Four. Prices for hunting in Mozambique vary; you can choose a hunt that is affordable for you. Hunting trips to Mozambique, the pearl of Africa, are always full of adventures and give you a chance to have stories to tell your friends about your travel to such a colourful country. Elephant, buffalo, leopard, crocodile, hippopotamus – it’s not a full list of animals you can hunt on in Mozambique! Make yourself a gift – a trip to Mozambique! Experience wild power, accept the challenge, fight and win! Hunting in Mozambique is waiting for you!
South Africa
An African safari is a dream adventure that in many cases comes along only once or twice in a lifetime. South Africa is one of the premier destinations for the first time safari hunter or the seasoned safari veteran. South Africa has an unrivaled diversity of species — more than 45 major plains game species and all of the Big Five may be hunted here. A large variety of game birds, some presenting very challenging shooting, are on licence with generous bag limits. South Africa has so much to offer and every foreign hunter, regardless of their specific requirements or preferences, will find a suitable hunting destination in South Africa to meet their needs. BookYourHunt takes pride in having some of the finest African outfitters and professional hunters as our partners, outfitters and professional hunters who are, in most cases, the most active in the South African hunting industry.
Namibia
A proud 40-year history of ethical, reasonably priced trophy hunting of the highest standard in Namibia has revealed that sustainable utilization of wildlife resources has been a major factor in protecting Namibia's game populations. Even depleted game species, which formerly populated areas of Namibia, have been re-introduced through effective game management based on the principle of conservation through selective hunting.
Let Africa Inspire You and BookYourHunt Make it Reality!
Africa's plentiful and diverse wildlife offers a new adventure whether you're a first time African hunter or a seasoned veteran of many safaris. BookYourHunt has your first safari, or your next safari.

Successful Macnab Challenge
10.0
Rust De Winter Safaris
Outfitter
The trip immediately started with a catered pickup from the Johannesburg airport, followed by a relaxing drive to a reserve containing breathtaking animals. To say the Big 5 would be an understatement. Following the conclusion, my arrival at the lodge included a welcoming owner, operator, PH, and chef who began explaining the festivities planned for the hunt in the morning. The bonfire, dinner and dessert were delicious (including Kudu game meat). The lodge included my own private kitchen, living room, and clean bedroom. The morning started with a rifle warmup session for acclimating to the top-of-the-line equipment provided and the hunt began. The reserve size was expansive, with 4-wheel transportation everywhere to prevent becoming tired throughout the long and fun day ahead!
The macnab challenge included a Guineafowl, Impala, and Bass in the agenda. Guineafowl run quickly and aren’t the largest birds, but the PH and operator ensured we found a suitable location with Guineafowl for action, crossing the Guineafowl off my list.
The impala hunting was amazing. Many bucks and herds running and grazing across the land. It was a challenging time throughout the midday as the heat kicked in. We paused for a fantastic brunch ant the lodge, and fished for several hours in a local lake then private Eco-friendly (owned by Rust De Winters) resort that had large mouth bass swimming in the river alongside. An exhilarating catch was in-store and resulted in checking the bass off my list.
The owner mentioned that transitioning to a blesbok instead of an impala was an option as the day progressed for more exciting options! Lo and behold, my PH identified a grazing heaven with Blesbok. My operator advised me which animals were fair game, and we setup in the truck. Despite the brush, a visible shot was apparent which concluded the day. We celebrated with another sunset safari to see giraffes and zebras, followed by another excellent meal.
I cannot wait to come back, as this was an experience I will NEVER forget. Thank you, Rust De Winters!
The owner, operator, and PH made sure my stay was terrific.

Fourteen days with Anton
10.0
Estreux Safaris Namibia
Outfitter
Antonie Esterhuizen of Estreux Safaris offered a deal a while ago that seemed made for me. We hunted in the Grootfontein area as years of prolonged drought had made the proposed hunt in Kaokaland unfeasible. You can read plenty of reviews of hunting from other posters, the sentiments of whom I share, so I won't spend much time reviewing the hunt itself; instead, I want to review my non-hunting week, because it will give a pretty clear picture of Anton and Estreux.
The second week of my time with Anton was truly something special. After hunting for seven days, he took me on a trip through northwest Namibia. It was apparent from the reviews of Estreux Safaris that Anton is a very knowledgeable man, and this was so evident on the trip. I cannot believe that anyone in Namibia knows his country as well as he does. His encyclopedic knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology, and history of Namibia are formidable, and at every turn we encountered people who know him from his many services to Namibia. His trip included an eclectic variety of places and experiences; every day and night brought a different experience: Etosha Heights, Etosha, Camp Aussicht, a mountain-top villa of his Himba expert and mining friend, Marius, Sesfontein, Ongongo waterfall, the Himba sacred mountain, Khowarib Lodge, the Skeleton Coast, Swakopmund, and a trip to Joe's in Windhoek on the evening before my departure. This is by no means the complete list. His attention to detail and desire to satisfy his clients can be illustrated with two brief examples: one night, he had me seated in such a way as to afford me the impressive spectacle of the full moon rising from behind a mountain just as supper was served; on another, he presided over the arrival and feeding of four porcupines who then provided hours of entertainment as we spent the evening with his mountain-dwelling friends. I had once mentioned that it would be nice to see a porcupine.
I have had numerous trips to Africa and have hunted in four countries. I have been fortunate that every trip has been very good to exceptional. Anton stands at the top of the list. I will certainly return, but will be sure to take more time. There are so many places to hunt and visit in Namibia, and Anton is the guy I will want to guide me in further exploration of that wonderful country. Give him a try. Anton will put you on to excellent animals, and teach you so much that will your time will be very fulfilling.
Immigration in Windhoek. I hope they up their game.

Africa Maximum Safaris
Outfitter
Everything pretty much! Our guides were funny, extremely professional, and a great group! The food was fantastic, the staff was super friendly and helpful, the maids were honestly fantastic (my clothes had never been cleaner), and our guides Ulrich & Lezander were the real deal (I've hunted all over the world, but these guys really knew what was up!) The game quality was excellent, and the opportunity to shoot 80 to 300 yards was the best part of the trip! We brought our own ammo from the States to use with their 300win mag (I highly recommend + bringing your own ammo).
We (me and my buddy) went on the off-season ×5 plains game mixed bag hunt each- (zebra, impala, springbok, blesbuck & Wildabeast). The trip total was about $3k USD for 8 days! It's an excellent price, so much so that it's a sponsored hunt by my brand (Cowboy co.) Me and my team of outfitters & Hunter's will be back !!! I have recommended this hunt to anyone I've known thinking about traveling to Africa, and on the next trip, I will be filming because it was nonstop action, hunting from the truck, bird hunting, and spotting every game species in Africa! 10/10 recommend- over a 10 rating in my book! Tagged out everyday!
I'd say the beer not being included and no tvs in the rooms would be my only suggestions.
