Experience a five-night, six-day plains game safari in South Africa’s North West Province, hunting six species across classic bushveld and open grassland. The package includes Eland, Sable, Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Blesbok and Impala hunting in South Africa, giving hunters the opportunity to pursue a varied collection of African plains game during one safari.
The hunt includes:
This combination gives hunters a mix of large antelope, plains game, and a sought-after Sable, all within one African plains game hunt.
The North West Province offers a classic South African hunting safari, with open grassy plains, thorny shrubs, scattered trees, hills and rocky outcrops. This combination provides habitat for a wide variety of plains game and creates different opportunities throughout the hunt.
The open areas can allow hunters to glass animals at distance before planning a stalk, while the thicker thornveld requires slower, more deliberate hunting. Waterholes can also become productive areas for locating game, particularly during the cooler and drier months.
Hunters should be prepared for varying shot distances and changing angles as animals move between open country and thicker bush. A solid understanding of shot placement for African game is essential when hunting species such as Eland, Sable and Blue Wildebeest.
The strength of this safari is the six-species combination. Rather than focusing on one or two trophies, hunters can pursue six different plains game species during five full hunting days.
The package also combines some of South Africa's most recognizable plains game with a Sable under 40 inches and an Eland, giving the safari a particularly varied trophy list.
For hunters traveling with a friend, the 2x1 option provides a different way to experience the safari while reducing the individual package price.
This hunt is suited to hunters who want a compact African hunting trip with a strong species list rather than a long safari focused on a single trophy.
It is also a good fit for hunters who enjoy variety and want the opportunity to pursue everything from Impala and Blesbok to Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Sable and Eland.
If your priority is collecting several different plains game species during one trip, this package provides a clear, defined hunting objective from the start.
The hunt is hosted by Makena, a licensed Professional Hunter, wildlife trader, and tourism professional. Makena and his team offer hunting, wing shooting, and tourism safaris, allowing hunters and their families to combine their safari with additional African experiences.
The team focuses on attention to detail and customer satisfaction throughout the hunt.
International hunters will fly into OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. Road transfers to the hunting grounds are available at US$300 per person, with the journey taking approximately five hours.
Hunters bringing firearms into South Africa will need to complete the required SAP520 temporary firearm import documentation before arrival.
The cooler winter months are considered the peak period for a South African hunting safari. During this time, vegetation is generally lower and animals may be easier to locate around water sources, creating favorable conditions for spotting and stalking game.
South Africa can offer hunting opportunities throughout the year, subject to the applicable permits and regulations.
From Eland and Sable to Zebra, Blue Wildebeest, Blesbok, and Impala, this safari offers an unusually broad plains game package over five hunting days.
For hunters looking for plains game hunts that combine species variety, classic North West bushveld and the opportunity to hunt with an experienced local outfitter, this safari provides a focused way to experience South African hunting safari opportunities without committing to a lengthy trip.
Hunters interested in eland hunts, zebra hunts, or specifically blue wildebeest hunting in South Africa can build their safari around these species while still having five additional trophy opportunities within the package.
