Hunting the Northern Cape in South Africa

The wildlife ranch is situated in the Northern Cape Province, the most sparsely populated province in South Africa, offering hunters open areas of savanna and large desert landscapes.

The Northern Cape is one of South Africa’s prime hunting destinations, offering a variety of challenging hunts, including dangerous and plains game. Iconic desert species include Gemsbuck (Oryx), Springbuck, Red Hartebeest and Black Wildebeest. For hunters focused on the tiny ten, Common Duikers and Steenbok are plentiful.

A combination of dry conditions and challenging terrain provide the perfect backdrop for hunters seeking an adventurous African hunting safari.

Traveling for the Rhino & Combination Hunt in South Africa

Arriving at Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, South Africa, hunters will need to take a domestic flight from Johannesburg to Kimberley Airport, marking the start of your African hunting adventure. Return flights to/from Kimberly cost on average US$ 200, depending on the season and take an hour and fifteen minutes travel time.

Depending on the arrival time of the inbound flight into Johannesburg, a overnight stay in Jhb may be needed before embarking on the domestic flight to Kimberly. We would recommend African Sky Boutique Hotel, situated in close proximity to the airport specifically catering for international hunters, providing transfers and assistance with firearm import permits. Should any additional information be required, see “Affiliate Services” below in the listing.

Arriving in Kimberly, you will be met by Jaco or a member of his team for the scenic road transfer to the hunting lodge. As you travel through South Africa’s varied landscapes, you will see rolling hills and expansive areas of savanna.

The ultimate Cape Buffalo Hunt in Africa!

The Northern Cape of South Africa provides stunning scenery and thrilling adventures, ideal for dangerous game hunting enthusiasts. This safari promises an extraordinary hunting adventure, with the opportunity to hunt a “big Dagga Boy” over 42″. Accompanied by your professional hunter and team of trackers, you will navigate through the diverse landscapes from the rolling savanna’s to the rugged terrain.

Approaching a Cape Buffalo requires skill and caution and shot placement will be crucial; as a precise shot ensures a swift and humane kill.

If not, be prepared, as tracking a wounded Cape Buffalo is dangerous work. They say it takes one perfectly placed bullet to kill a Cape Buffalo, and another 5 to 8 to convince the Buffalo that he is fact dead. On a Cape Buffalo hunt, there is no such thing as “too much gun.”

The Hunt for “Exotics” in South Africa

Included in this combination hunt is an impressive list of plains game hunting species, both trophy Sable (The Prince of Africa) and Roan antelope.Roan are known for their striking appearance and elusive nature, making them a prized trophy. Sable, with their elegant horns and sleek coats are one of Africa’s most beautiful antelopes, also known in Afrikaans as a “Swart Witpens”. Their natural habitat is the open woodlands and savannas, where their dark coats stand out against the landscape.

Cape Eland, the  largest of the African antelopes, presents its own unique challenges. These majestic animals are known for their size and agility and are difficult to track through the dense thickets. Once spooked, Eland can cover many miles in just a few minutes. 

Rhino Hunt “Green Dart”

Participating in a Rhino darting operation is a privilege and no less dangerous than a traditional Rhino hunt. Rhino darting involves tracking and temporarily immobilizing a Rhino for veterinary care, tagging and DNA “swabbing”. This experience highlights the importance of conservation in African hunting.

Rhinos have an acute sense of hearing helping them to compensate for their poor eyesight. Taking into account the wind direction, along with the ability to stalk quietly is going to be paramount to your success. Shots will be fired at less than thirty yards. This is dangerous game hunting at its finest. Hunters will be able to practice using the dart gun before the actual Rhino hunt.

When is the best time to go dangerous game hunting in South Africa?

While South Africa has a regulated hunting season, ranch owners in possession of a P3 Exemption certificate may hunt throughout the year. The best time to hunt in South Africa, is from April to October being the cooler and drier months.

In the winter months, there is less vegetation which improves visibility and general hunting conditions. In the summer months, temperatures can exceed 104 Fahrenheit which can be really unpleasant.
