Which Country in Africa Has The Best Hunting?

When it comes to big game hunting, South Africa is the number one and premier game hunting destination. South Africa has it all, from the Big Five to the Dangerous Seven and an incredible variety of plains game animals.

Trophy hunting in South Africa is a sought-after activity within the international hunting community, with South Africa being famous for providing exceptional African hunts and world-class trophies. South African outfitters provide unprecedented levels of service, always go the extra mile, and, in many instances, are third and fourth-generation operators.

When it comes to international news, South Africa is often displayed in a negative light based on half-truths and misinformation that is communicated to foreigners. International press coverage always seems to focus on crime statistics, political unrest, poverty, business platforms, and, more recently, loadshedding (energy supply).

We all recall Donald Trump slamming African countries. Yet, for the Trump juniors, South Africa is always on their radar for their next big game hunting safari. What does this mean? South African outfitters understand what is expected and can deliver beyond expectations.

While South Africa is classified as a third-world country, and some people still think lions and elephants roam the streets, the facilities focusing on tourism are world-class and can easily compete with international competitors.

South Africa, with all its shortcomings and challenges, has still produced some of the most famous people, namely:

• Elon Musk, the world’s richest man.
• Charlize Theron, a famous Hollywood actress.
• Dr Chris Barnard, the first doctor to perform a heart transplant.
• Nelson Mandela, from political prisoner to President.
• Gary Player and Ernie Els, world-famous golfers.

And, of course, when it comes to South Africa and famous people, South Africa does hold the record for having the first man to be incarcerated, then become a President, and then going back to being a prisoner. Of course, we all have heard of the infamous Mr. Jacob Zuma and his gang of wives!

While South Africa politics is more of a comedy show, you may ask what has all this got to do with hunting in Africa? Well, everything! While the clowns are attempting to run the country and create platforms to improve their corruption initiatives, South Africa has hundreds of committed professional hunters and outfitters focusing on providing international hunters with five-star Africa hunts.

So, Can I Bring My Family On A South Africa Hunting Trip?

The answer is most certainly YES!

Most South African outfitters cater not only to game hunting as the primary activity but also have varied entertainment choices for family members joining the hunting adventure in remote areas of South Africa. Hunting lodges in South Africa are beautifully designed and scenic, and many South African residents vacation at these resorts. South African ranches are thus not geared only for big game hunting activities.

South Africans value international tourists and big game hunters and promote family adventures throughout our beautiful country.

Hunting Lodges in South Africa: Something For Everyone

Hunting lodges in South Africa provide a wide range of activities for family members to enjoy and include (depending on the location):

• Spa Treatment and massages

• Clay pigeon shooting and archery

• Fresh / Saltwater Fishing
• River Rafting and Horse riding
• Water activities such as skiing and sunset cruises

Extend Your Hunting Adventure And Discover South Africa

South Africa is a country rich in history, and there are always day trips available for family members, including trips to local venues of interest, museums, art galleries, and, of course, enjoying the local cuisine.

It is strongly suggested that while planning your game hunting safari to South Africa, on completion of the hunting safari, you extend your Africa hunting trip to visit other cities and geographical areas within the borders of South Africa. Each city and province have its unique tourist attractions.

Travel Options in South Africa

Efficient domestic travel, by airplane, train, or other allows for local traveling at affordable rates. Additionally, when traveling locally with game hunting equipment such as rifles or bows, it isn’t a major hassle, assuming that all the paperwork is in place.

How Do I Book My Tourism Activities?

When planning and booking your hunting safari in South Africa, be sure to ask your agent to put you in touch with local travel agencies who can advise you on enjoying all that South Africa has to offer. Ensure that payment is in local currency and not be billed in US dollars, euros, etc. As the South African currency has drastically devalued since 1994, local traders and retailers are quick to try and bill at foreign currency rates.
