Hunting in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province

South Africa’s Eastern Cape region is renowned for its exceptional plains game safaris, with iconic species being harvested and exceptional trophies being taken. This particular outfitter is renowned for mature Cape buffalo bulls, ranging from 35-44 inches, with a 46-inch trophy an achievable goal! The premier malaria-free reserve also features a wide variety of wildlife, including iconic African plains game such as the Greater Kudu, Springbok, Eland, and Sable.

The Plains Game Hunt Includes:

• 1 x Kudu
• 1 x Impala
• 1 x Blesbok
• 1 x Springbok

Also known as Africa’s Gray Ghost, the Kudu is a master of camouflage, but worth every walk and stalk to harvest this spiral-horned king. The Impala is sometimes referred to as the McDonald’s of the bush, with the pronounced “M” marking and common presence around every bush, while the grace and beauty of the Springbok trophy make this medium-sized antelope a firm favorite with hunting enthusiasts. Lastly, the speedy Blesbok of the Eastern Cape plains is yet another iconic trophy worth adding to any trophy room.
