Rifle Hunting

Rifle hunting is one of the most popular and versatile methods of hunting. We use a variety of calibers tailored to the specific game and terrain. Our selection of rifles ensures we can match the right firearm to the hunt. Depending on your home country's regulations, you may also bring your own rifle with.

Big Bore

Big bore hunting involves using rifles with larger calibers, typically .375 and above, specifically designed for hunting large and dangerous game. Our specialized rifles provide the necessary stopping power required for hunting the Big 5, ensuring both safety and effectiveness during your hunt.

Long Range Hunting

Long range hunting involves targeting game at extended distances. This type of hunting is typically conducted in open plains and from a prone position to maximize stability and accuracy. As part of our hunting experience, we provide a crash course to ensure you can effectively hit targets at extended distances, enhancing your skills and confidence.

Bow Hunting

From walk and stalk to hunting from blinds, we accommodate both recurve and compound bows, providing flexibility and comfort for your preferred hunting style.

Crossbow Hunting

Crossbow hunting combines the elements of both archery and firearms, offering a unique and accessible hunting experience. Crossbows allow you to engage animals at greater distances than traditional bows, giving you an advantage when taking shots at longer ranges.

Bird Hunting

South Africa offers a wide variety of game birds, some 14 huntable species of duck, two of geese, 10 partridge (francolin) species, guinea fowl and quail making it one of the top bird hunting destinations in the world.

Trophy Hunting Method

Drive-Spot and Stalk

This is the most often used method. Usually, you drive the bush tracks in an open hunting vehicle until you spot an animal you want to pursue. You then dismount from the vehicle and slowly walk into the bush, trying to spot the animal again. Once you spot the animal the professional hunters will take some time to judge the trophy quality of the animal. When a decision is made to shoot the animal, the PH will either set up shooting sticks or find a suitable position for you to shoot from.

Trophy Hunting Method

Walk and Stalk

As the name suggests, you will spend time walking in the bush until you come across a suitable trophy. You will then stalk the animal to within range before taking the shot.

Trophy Hunting Method

Spot and Stalk/Glassing

You will spend time sitting on a hill top or mountain using binoculars to spot the animals you are looking for. Once the animals are spotted you will close the distance to within a suitable shooting range to take the shot. Sometimes you will need to take the shot from where you are. This may require taking a longer-than-normal shot.

Trophy Hunting Method

Hunting from a blind

A Blind or Hide is normally set up near a watering hole. You spend time in the blind, patiently waiting for the trophy animals to come within shooting range. Once the trophy animals are within range, the Professional Hunter will assess their quality and let you know which animal to shoot.
