SOUTH AFRICA

We offer hunting safaris in four of South Africa’s provinces namely Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal as well as the Eastern Cape
and Free State Provinces. These provinces differ greatly in terms of habitat, prevalent species as well as the general lie of the land.

Limpopo

Limpopo is South Africa’s most Northern Province, lying within the great curve of the Limpopo River. It is a region of contrast, ranging from Bushveld (mixed grassland, dense Acacia Thorn bush) to mountainous areas (home to the Waterberg Mountains), primeval indigenous forests and unspoiled wilderness. The Province borders the countries of Botswana to the west, Zimbabwe to the north and Mozambique to the east. In the eastern region lies the northern half of the magnificent Kruger National Park, a nature reserve teeming with African wildlife in a total area roughly the size of Israel.

KwaZulu-Natal

This is the garden province of South Africa. It is a subtropical streek and lies on the Eastern coastline (Indian Ocean) with a blend of savanna grasslands and forests. The province stretches from Port Edward in the south to the borders of Swaziland and Mozambique to the north.

Its Western Part is marked by dying dramatic Drakensberg mountain range, with several peaks well over 3 000 meters. Between the mountains and the humid, subtropical coastline is Savannah grassland, but there are also areas of indigenous forest along the coast.

Some of the game available: Suni, Nyala, Bush-pig, Common Reedbuck and Red Bush Duiker.

Most of our Deep sea fishing takes place off this coastline.

The Free State offers the breathtaking Drakensberg Mountain Range and the Qwa Qwa National Park. The Free State lies in the heart of South Africa, with the Kingdom of Lesotho nestling in the hollow of its bean-like shape. Lying between the Vaal River in the north and the Orange River in the south, the region is one of flat, rolling grassland rising to lovely sandstone mountains in the northeast. This area has very little tree cover.
