You will find that Plains Game hunting is diverse and challenging with many species occurring only in certain areas, while many of our clients hunt their dangerous game in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, as well as South  Africa. We cater for Bow, Rifle, Muzzle-loader and Handgun hunters and encourage you to take advantage of these excellent hunting opportunities.  Let us help you discover the unparalleled enchantment of African trophy hunting in exciting destinations in Southern Africa.

We offer hunting safaris in various concession areas in four of South Africa's Provinces,  namely Limpopo, the Free State, Natal and North West Province, as well as in Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. For informaion on hunting in the Provinces of Limpopo, Free State and Natal, click here.  These areas vary greatly in terms of topography, vegetation and species available and range from rolling savannah grassland to densely wooded bushveld, forest, river, swamp and mountain terrain – all prime trophy hunting territories.

The area in which your safari will be conducted depends on the trophies which are of interest to you, the time of year and the quota of animals available in any concession area.  Once we have quoted on a hunt, there are no hidden costs and a remuneration agreement will be sent to you, if requested.

Clients hunting with us can do so with complete confidence as they are looked after from the pick-up at the airport, O.R Tambo International (Johannesburg), to when the trophies are hanging on the wall.

We have many references attesting to our commitment to our clients, many of whom have become great friends and come back year after year. For information on our references, click here .  First time hunters are most welcome.  Our youngest first-time hunter was a lass of 6 years old and our oldest first-timer was 83!  So if you are planning your next safari to Africa, give us a call, you will not be disappointed!  Our goal is to ensure that each hunter enjoys a memorable experience which takes his or her specific requirements into account.
