South African Hunting Packages


Browse the various hunting packages we offer throughout South Africa.


Hunting Africa has been the lifelong dream of many sportsmen. Our, affordable, hunting packages have been designed to bring Africa hunting within everyone’s reach. The hunts take place in South Africa on the Eastern Cape. The region varies in terrain from fertile valleys to steep mountains. This habitat sustains large quantities of game. The Karoo region is cattle / sheep country, much like the American South West. Eighty percent of our hunts take place on the open range with some limited cattle and sheep fencing. The other twenty percent is on high fenced ranches.

All of our hunts are strictly fair chase. We offer rifle, bow, pistol and black powder hunts. The primary method is spot and stalk. Blinds and tree stands are available, as well. We have property designated for bow hunting only. We do not hunt from vehicles or in pens! Our property of 5,000 acres serves as base camp from which we access over 250,000 acres of prime hunting land, leased exclusively by us.

Only mature animals are taken and a limited quota is set for each property. Our animals are all wild in their natural environment; they are not bought at auction and stocked. Our exclusive leases with landowners assure that we are the only outfitter taking prime specimens off their properties. You will be accompanied by a certified professional hunter on all of our hunts. This will be either one client and one PH or two clients and one PH depending on your choice. We NEVER mix groups!

We have four different lodges at our disposal and often move hunters between them depending on the species you are hunting. Additional animals may be taken on all of our packages according to the Trophy List. All additional animals can be paid for in advance of your hunt in the form of cash or travelers checks. Any animals wounded but not recovered must be paid for in full.


Our lodges vary from an authentic bush lodge with thatched roof cabins to a very comfortable, refurbished South African farm house with all the modern conveniences of home. All meals are prepared daily by our staff which includes many wild game dishes as well as homemade salads and deserts. All soft drinks, juices, water, tea, coffee, local beer and wines are included. On site laundry service is offered free of charge on a daily basis.

Seasons are reversed in South Africa. Therefore, May - August is their winter and temperatures drop making it quite cold at times. Perfect hunting weather! Nov - March has warm to hot days followed by warm evenings. During this period we usually hunt early morning and late afternoon, with plenty of time to relax during the day.



Non-hunters are more than welcome! We encourage our clients to bring their families and offer a non hunting rate. If the non hunter(s), in your group, declines to accompany you in the field; additional activities such as tours can be arranged. We offer many activities from photographic safaris, fishing charters to spas and golf. These can be arranged as day trips from the lodge for the non-hunter(s).

African Cull Hunt

7 Day Hunting Package - 20 Animals

This hunt is designed for the guy who likes to shoot!

On each of the properties that we hunt we have a professional game management plan in place. Every year we sit down with our landowners and set strict quotas on the number of trophy animals that we will take off of their properties. We also assist them with important management practices like supplemental watering game surveys and genetic monitoring. Because these practices are so successful we also find ourselves with large numbers of non-trophy animals, many times more then the habitat can support. In these cases we are required to "thin the herd" and we do this by culling.

We are now able to offer you the ability to participate in this process! Our cull package will give you long days in the field filled with plenty of action. This is a rifle hunters dream hunt. In addition to the animals mention you are allowed to take trophy animals at your discretion and pay for them off the trophy list (Only if trophy quotas for that property are not filled yet). Prepare yourself for 7 days of the most intense hunting that you have ever imagined!

All our hunts are strictly fair chase. There are no game farm or pen hunts. Rifles, bows, pistols and black powder are welcome. Hunt is actually 9 days as the arrival day and departure day are included in the cost but do not count against your hunting time.

-4 Kudu females
-2 Kudu non-trophy
-6 Warthog non-trophy
-4 Blesbuck females
-4 Impala females

Additional animals can be taken at additional cost. Please see the Trophy List above.

Hunting Safaris for the Limited & Disabled Package 1

7 Days

We now have a wheel chair friendly lodge which sleeps 4 disabled people. We have all the proper equipment, facilities and experienced guides to make sure your stay is comfortable and successful.

 The Lodge consists of a lapa/kitchen and four fully furnished chalets, gently sloping entry ramp, convenient low-placed light switches and a large, specially adapted bathroom with all the necessary amenities. The rooms are all level with adapted door widths and bed heights.

We have over 30 000ha in which to hunt in this area. The veld is varied - rolling hills with deep kloofs, open acacia thornveld and dense bushveld and patches of open grassland.

Gentle sloping ramps making the lodge totally accesible for wheel chairs. 

The bathroom is adapted with rails and support bar, at all the right heights.

 

The hunters are loaded onto the back of the hunting vehicles with the aid of either a special lift or a ramp - depending on the chosen vehicle. Four helpers surround the lift platform at all times to stabilize the chair and assist in case something should go wrong. The lift is mostly used for people in heavy electrical wheelchairs or those who prefer not to use the ramp.

 We use different hunting techniques; this is usually dictated by the level of disability as well as the hunter's preference.

 

 

  • Walk and stalk and ambush: The hunter is carried into an ambush position in the portable chair by the 4 carriers. Due to the nature of the terrain disabled hunters usually have to make use of the ambush method but, where possible, 'walk-and-stalk' hunts are also conducted. In the hunting areas, many ridges overlook kloofs, gulleys and terraces and when hunters go after kudu, impala, blue wildebeest, mountain reedbuck or even bushbuck, they are carried in the chair along these ridges early in the morning and/or late in the afternoon. We stop frequently to glass for game. If the hunter cannot shoot from the spot, we work out an approach route and 'stalk' (carry him) closer to the animal.

  • Quad Bike and Blind: We have ATV's which we drive around the bush, find a suitable site and sit out and wait for a shot. We also carry portable pop-up blinds that fit around the ATV.

Animals included in hunt:

1 kudu,
1 blesbuck,
1 common spring buck,
1 impala,
1 bushbuck

Additional animals can be taken at additional cost. Please see the TROPHY LIST above.
