Booking Season: 2026
Hunt Difficulty: Difficult
Designed by Hunters, for Hunters
The four-star hunting lodge offers spacious rooms with en-suite bathrooms, comfortable dining and lounge areas, a bar and views across the surrounding landscape. After a day in the field, hunters can relax around the campfire and enjoy meals prepared using fresh local ingredients.
The hunting concession covers more than 4,000 acres, providing a substantial area in which to pursue the five included trophies. The combination of open grassland, rolling terrain, valleys and rocky areas creates varied hunting conditions. The open nature of the concession is particularly suited to Springbok, while the more rugged terrain provides suitable country for pursuing Aoudad. The Free State is also well known for plains game hunts, with species such as Springbok, Blesbok, Black Wildebeest and Gemsbuck found throughout the province.

Hunt the four Springbok color variants and a trophy Aoudad Ram on more than 4,000 acres in South Africa’s Free State Province. This 7-night safari offers six full hunting days, luxury 4-star accommodation and a 1:1 hunter-to-Professional-Hunter ratio.
The Springbok Grand Slam brings together four distinctive color variants: Common, White, Black and Copper Springbok. Hunting all four during one safari gives the hunter the opportunity to build a unique collection of Springbok trophies, with each color variant offering a noticeably different appearance.
The Slam is particularly sought-after because it combines the challenge of locating four different color phases with the specialized hunting skills required to pursue Springbok in open terrain. For hunters looking to build a collection around this iconic African antelope, springbok hunts offer a focused and rewarding plains game experience.
Plains game hunting in the Free State offers a different experience from hunting in thick bushveld. The open landscape allows hunters to glass from elevated positions and identify animals at considerable distances before beginning a stalk.
The cooler months from April through October are generally preferred for hunting in South Africa, with shorter vegetation and cooler temperatures often providing favorable conditions. Winter mornings in the Free State can be extremely cold, so hunters should bring suitable clothing.
The Free State provides expansive grasslands, open savanna, valleys, woodlands and rocky dolerite koppies. This terrain is well suited to Springbok hunting, with hunters often glassing large areas before planning a careful spot-and-stalk approach.
When hunting springbok in South Africa, hunters should expect alert animals, open shooting lanes and potentially longer-range opportunities. Wind direction, careful movement and accurate range estimation can all play an important role in getting into position for a clean shot.
The Aoudad, also known as Barbary Sheep, adds a contrasting hunting challenge to the Springbok Slam. Aoudad are well adapted to rocky terrain, steep slopes and rugged hillsides, requiring hunters to carefully glass the terrain before planning an approach.
Combining an Aoudad Ram with four Springbok color variants gives this safari five distinctive trophies across two very different hunting environments.
International hunters arrive at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg before traveling approximately four hours by road to the hunting lodge.
Depending on flight schedules, an overnight stay in Johannesburg may be required before or after the safari.
There is no fixed hunting season for South Africa. The cooler months from April through October are generally preferred for plains game hunting in South Africa. Winter provides cooler conditions, although temperatures in the Free State can fall below freezing during early mornings.
Rifle rental is available for US$140 for the entire safari, with ammunition charged separately. Hunters bringing their own rifles will need to arrange the required South African firearm import documentation before traveling.
A suitable flat-shooting rifle and quality ammunition are recommended for the open terrain and potential longer-range shooting opportunities.
