Bow Hunting

We cater to all bow hunters—compound, crossbow, or traditional. Most hunting is done from well-appointed blinds or elevated tree stands at ranges from 10 to 30 yards. These blinds are quiet, spacious, and allow comfortable shooting setups for up to three people. You may also enjoy a packed lunch and drinks with your guide while hunting. For those seeking a more physical challenge, spot-and-stalk bow hunting is available, demanding stealth, patience, and determination.

Rifle Hunting

Rifle hunts are conducted on foot using the spot-and-stalk method. Once herds are located by vehicle, hunters stalk into position, typically shooting at distances between 50 and 200 yards using tripod shooting sticks.
Still hunts or pop-up blinds may also be used depending on game behavior. Rifles are available to rent, or you may bring your own—just be sure to complete the necessary import documentation ahead of time, which we’ll gladly assist with.

Enjoy more than just hunting with our variety of lodge-based activities like game drives, guided bush walks, and birdwatching.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What bow and arrow setup do I need for hunting African plains game?

The short answer is that a minimum draw weight of at least 50lbs and a total arrow weight of 400 grains should be sufficient for many African species. We do not recommend using mechanical broadheads for African game, but prefer fixed-blade broadheads. 2/3 bladed fixed broadhead.

When is the best time of the year to hunt in South Africa?

We start our hunting season in April and end in October. Early in the season is usually better for spot-and-stalk hunting. Late rains may make an early season hunt a bit more difficult, as can early rains late in the season.

What will the weather be like?

South Africa has, for the most part, a summer rainfall, stretching from October to March. Thus the chances of encountering rain during the hunting season is minimal. South Africa also has a very temperate climate with temperatures ranging from 35°F to 50°F (2°C to 10°C) during the early mornings and evenings and 53°F to 82°F (12°C to 28°C) during the peak of the day, depending on the time of year, with June and July being the coldest months. Colder days might also be expected from time to time. It is thus advisable to bring warm clothing that can be stripped off as the days get warmer.

Do I need malaria medication or get any vaccinations before visiting South Africa?

No vaccinations are required for visiting South Africa, but we recommend you consult with your doctor before your trip. We are situated in a malaria-free area and malaria medication is not needed, unless a safari is scheduled to a specific area where malaria might be a danger, in which case we will advise accordingly. AIDS has reached epidemic proportions in Africa, and although it is not something to worry about, intimate contact with the natives is strongly discouraged.

Do I need to worry about snakes and spiders?

No. Our hunting season is during the colder winter months when snakes are mostly inactive. Although there are snakes around, you will be lucky to even see one. Spiders and other insects are around, but are quite harmless.
