Hunting Area

These hunting grounds depict the classic South African hunting environment that supports a variety of diverse game. The area is characterized by open grassy plains, thorny shrubs, and trees. Generally, the area is quite flat, apart from some scattered hills and rocky outcrops.

Hunting Lodge & Accomodation

While various concessions within the North West province are utilized for the safari, depending on the species, your home-away-from-home lies deep within the bushveld, in the tranquil Syferfontein region near Zerust.

This lodge offers five thoughtfully appointed rooms, comfortably accommodating up to ten guests. Two rooms feature en-suite bathrooms, while the remaining three share convenient facilities. The accommodation is fully equipped with running water and electricity, supported by a backup generator to ensure uninterrupted comfort during power outages.

Sit back and relax, enjoy blissful evenings under African skies, with hearty meals and engaging conversations are the order of the day.

Why hunt Sable in South Africa?

The majestic Sable remains a sought-after trophy for many hunters. The hunts are challenging, with these wary antelopes always on alert. Should there be any perceived dangers, dominant males and other members of the herd issue alarm calls. This makes it extremely difficult for a hunter to approach them undetected, and this, combined with their fast reflexes, makes them a challenge to stalk and hunt.

Sable are best hunted using spot-and-stalk or tracking methods, while ambush techniques near a water hole can also prove successful.

Best Season for Buffalo Hunting

While hunting is available throughout the year in South Africa, the peak season for enjoying Cape buffalo hunts is during the cooler, drier months (May to September). During these cooler months, the hunt is more manageable in terms of critters and bugs, and the vegetation and grasses are also shorter, allowing the hunter to spot and stalk his prey more easily. Animals are more likely to gather in or around water holes.

Tips when hunting African Plains Game

• Do your homework and research the species you are hunting – Gain knowledge of their behavior patterns, learn more about shot placement, feeding routines, and so forth
• Most plains game are more active early morning and late afternoon when it is cooler – Plan your hunt accordingly
• Practice shooting from sticks, which are commonly used when plains game hunting in South Africa
• These hunts often feature long stalks and require hunters to walk many miles a day; ensure that you are fit
• Patience is key; Rome wasn’t built in a day. Exercise patience and restraint to harvest that perfect trophy
• Invest in a good pair of binoculars for glassing for trophies
• The African sun can be deceptive in its strength. Wear a hat, sunscreen, and keep hydrated
