Where you will hunt

Territory

South Africa is a safe, friendly, and easily accessible hunting destination, making it ideal for both first-time and experienced hunters. We operate one private wildlife reserve in South Africa, Balla-Balla Conservancy, offering outstanding plains game hunting in the Limpopo Province. The conservancy is nestled in the heart of the scenic Soutpansberg Mountain range, less than an hour’s drive north of Polokwane. Covering over 25,000 acres of diverse mountain terrain and spectacular landscapes, the conservancy is well known for producing exceptional Greater Kudu. All safaris are conducted on a strictly ethical fair-chase basis. The conservancy also offers excellent night hunting opportunities, providing a unique experience for species that are more active after dark. We also have access to over 200,000 acres of private concessions located close to Balla-Balla Conservancy, including several areas adjacent to the main reserve, providing additional hunting opportunities and species variety.
