The start of hunting safari in South Africa’s Northern Cape province is an exciting experience for any hunter. This region, known for its rich wildlife and breathtaking landscapes, offers some of the best opportunities when hunting in South Africa.
Cape Buffalo hunting is one of the most intense and rewarding pursuits. These powerful and unpredictable animals require skill, precision and “up close and personal” fair chase method of hunting. A trophy Buffalo bull at 44 inches tip to tip is huge, with 42 inches being the traditional Rowland Ward minimum.
Kudu bulls are one of the most coveted trophies when hunting in Africa, famously known for their magnificent spiral horns, a must in every trophy room. Cape Eland, the largest of the plains game species roam the Northern Cape’s diverse terrain, from open grasslands to rugged hills. Their size and strength requires precise shot placement and these magnificent antelope make exceptional trophies.
Roan antelope, with their distinctive appearance and rarity, are a prized trophy for hunters. A trophy Roan, again using the Rowland ward method is 27 inches, with a bull included at close to 30 inches being enormous.
The “Green Dart” Rhino Hunt is a unique and conservation-oriented experience. This hunt involves darting a rhino, contributing to vital wildlife management and preservation efforts. Rhino hunting in Africa, particularly with a dart, offers a close encounter with these magnificent creatures while playing a crucial role in their conservation. Proper rhino shot placement is essential to ensure the animal’s safety and health during this process.
