South Africa is undoubtedly the favorite hunting destination for most first time hunters to Africa. This is mainly due to the wide variety of plains-game that is on offer throughout South Africa. With its varied topography and climate, South Africa provides varied hunting conditions which will test the hunter's skill and offer different challenges from one concession to the next. The private properties and lodge atmosphere is appealing to both the serious hunters as well as vacationing families. Accommodation varies from 5-star lodges to tented camps and all our accommodation meets with our high standards. Rooms are all en-suite. Activities for the non-hunter, or observer, are also catered for at all the camps and concessions. Plains-game safaris are affordable and the ease of logistics and modern day conveniences make South Africa a prime destination for many first time safari hunters and experienced African sportsmen alike. Hunting season - Trophy hunting is carried out throughout the year, but due to the summer heat and rains, most hunting is conducted between March and October, with June, July and August being the most popular months. South Africa is also a malaria and Tsetse free zone. We will handle all aspects of your safari, the first step is calling on us to discuss your hunt.
