BOTSWANA

Botswana stands out as one of the premier safari destinations in Africa. The country boasts extraordinary wildlife encounters in the Okavango Delta, Moremi Game Reserve, and Chobe National Park, alongside the vast salt pans of Makgadikgadi. This blend of diverse ecosystems and sheer scale creates an abundance of hunting and safari opportunities and unforgettable adventures.

The local airport in Port Elizabeth offers excellent access to the interior hunting concessions of the Eastern Cape, just over an hour’s drive away. This malaria-free terrain spans from open plains to mountainous evergreen forests, making it an ideal destination for hunting, wing shooting, photography, and nature exploration.

The Eastern Cape is renowned for its national parks and reserves, including the Addo Elephant National Park and Camdeboo National Park. Non-hunters can enjoy guided game drives in these parks, accompanied by local guides.
Additionally, the coastline offers pristine beaches perfect for a day of relaxation by the sea.

FREE STATE

Our hunting camps are a scenic 4-hour drive from OR Tambo International Airport. Our Northern camp, nestled in the heart of the Free State near the charming town of Smithfield, offers a unique blend of deluxe accommodation and wilderness, ensuring an unforgettable experience for both hunters and observers alike. Spanning 13,000 hectares of mainly African Savannah, this malaria-free hunting reserve is an ideal destination for hunting, photography, and nature exploration.

Located amidst the scenic valleys of the Free State, our property is a haven for hunting enthusiasts and those seeking a serene escape. The region also offers an abundance of birdlife for wing shooting collectors.

KALAHARI

The Kalahari region in South Africa’s Northern Cape province is a semi-arid landscape that supports a diverse array of wildlife. Characterized by thorn trees and vast grassy expanses, it offers habitat to a variety of plains game including Blue Wildebeest, Gemsbok, Springbok, Red Hartebeest, and Kudu.

Hunting a black-maned lion in the Kalahari is a thrilling experience conducted on foot. Kalahari lions, slightly smaller than their counterparts from other regions, compensate with heightened aggression and determination shaped by the harsh, arid environment.
