    Trusted Outfitters, Transparent Pricing & Full Safari Support

    Why Africa Hunts Define the Ultimate Safari

    Africa is the only continent where hunters can pursue such a diversity of game in a single trip.
    From kudu on the plains to Cape buffalo in river valleys or lions roaring at sunset, an African hunt is as much about landscapes and tradition as it is about trophies.
    For U.S. hunters, Africa hunts are the chance to live out safari heritage while creating stories and mounts that last a lifetime.

    At Game Hunting Safaris, we coordinate every element of your Africa hunt - outfitter selection, permits, travel planning, and trophy export so your experience is seamless, safe and unforgettable.

    Plains Game Africa Hunts

    Plains game form the backbone of African safaris. These hunts deliver variety and excitement while remaining accessible and affordable.
     Expect to stalk kudu, gemsbok, impala, zebra, wildebeest, springbok, sable, and roan across diverse terrain.
    Plains game packages are ideal for first-time hunters and still thrilling for seasoned safari veterans.

    Big Five Africa Hunts

    For hunters who want intensity and legacy, Africa’s Big Five remain the pinnacle:

    • Cape Buffalo – The “Black Death,” renowned for its unpredictable charge.

    • Lion – The King of Beasts, embodying courage and prestige.

    • Leopard – Elusive and cunning, demanding patience and skill.

    • Elephant – The largest land animal, a true test of accuracy and nerve.

    • Rhinoceros – Available only under highly restricted and regulated conditions.

    Each Big Five hunt requires professional hunters (PHs), strict permit management, and heavy calibers.

    Combination Safari Packages

    Many U.S. hunters maximize their investment with combination hunts, pairing plains game with one or more dangerous game species.
    For example, kudu and gemsbok may lead into a Cape buffalo or leopard hunt.
    Combination packages balance value with excitement, ensuring no two days in camp are ever the same.
