Safari Areas
The Cape
Hunting waterfowl like Spurwing and Egyptian Geese over decoys and Cape Francolin over Pointers are the main activities.
Bontebok, Springbuck, Gemsbuck and Hartebeest are also common to this area.
The FreeState
Guinea fowl, Swainsons, Grey-wing, Red Wing and Orange River Francolin, as well as Doves and Waterfowl are popular shooting in this area.
It is also home to species like Wildebeest, Eland, Springbok and Blesbok and other plains game.
KwaZulu Natal
The “Kingdom of the Zulu” ranges from the Indian Ocean to the Drakensberg Mountains, with open savannah, riverine bush and coastal sand forest.
This area offers plenty of wildfowl, great plains game and big game hunting as well as some of the “Tiny Ten”. This is also Nyala hunting country at its best.
Mozambique
Big Game Country, wild, unfenced and vast.
Whether hunting Dangerous Game like Lion, Elephant, Leopard or Buffalo, or plains game like Sable or Lichtenstein’s Hartebeest, this is a memorable place to hunt.
Weather
Best time to visit South Africa is from May until October.
Around the South African Hunting Areas the hunting seasons are open, and the weather is fresh to bitterly cold ( 0 – 7 deg C) in the mornings and evenings and go up to 19-22C during the day. Apart from areas in the Cape which experience wet winters, the rest of the country is dry.
In Mozambique the weather is balmy to cool and the mozzies are at their tamest. The bush is dry and the tall weeds and grasses have dried up and died down, and a lot of trees have lost their foliage which makes spotting easierand gives better shooting and photographic opportunities.
Accomodation
In the South African Hunting areas and on the Photographic Safaris guests are accommodated in luxury and sometimes historic farmhouses and bungalows, ranch homesteads and traditional Safari lodges.
The concession areas in Mozambique consist of luxury tented camps with adjoining ablution facilities. Gas and paraffin fired lamps and refrigerators and a full complement of staff.
Malaria & Vaccines
No vaccinations are required unless your state dept insists on them. Malaria is present in some areas, please check with us and we do recommend taking the necessary precautions where applicable.
