The Plains Game Hunt

Pursue your passion for wildlife management and conservation and prepare for the adventure of a lifetime when you set out to hunt the African bushveld in South Africa.

The professional hunter, following all the principles of fair chase will skilfully guide all hunters alike. This team knows how to find the biggest trophies in the thickets, forests and on the open savannahs.

Whilst a vehicle may be used to traverse the hunting concession, hunting will be done on foot, using the spot, walk and stalk method. In some areas strategically placed hides may get you a little closer to these antelope.

Daily you will see a variety and plenty of antelope. Challenging hunting methods, skills and commitment will be needed to harvest these trophies.

This is wild hunting in South Africa.

Accommodations while Plains Game Hunting

As the hunt will be for a selective species of antelope, accommodations will vary depending on the distance travelled within the hunting areas.

Camps vary from comfortable safari-style homes to small and personal rustic camps and luxurious lodgings.

All lodgings have on suite bathrooms, showers with hot and cold water and back up generators/solar due to the ongoing load-shedding drama in South Africa.

With regards to cuisine, you can look forward to being spoiled the Africa way and enjoy some of the best local cooking that South Africa has to offer. Typical SA dishes are served with outstanding locally produced wines. The beer is SA is also great.

The Game Hunting Terrain, Topography and Species

This large hunting area of over three million acres consists of a wide variety of habitats, varying from dense coastal brush, semi-arid desert, open savannah, and valleys in the Winterberg Mountain range which reaches heights of 7000 feet.

The area also has high populations of spiral horn antelope, Blue Duiker, Grysbok, Oribi and Red Lechwe.  The Eastern Cape is also one of the only areas in SA where monster Vaal Rhebuck can be hunted. Vaal Rhebuck hunting is definitely a consideration.

Nights safaris for Caracal, Porcupine and Bushpig hunting can also be arranged directly with outfitter.

Rifles and Ammunitions

The Eastern Cape in South Africa presents the hunter with a comprehensive set of challenges in terms of the habitat occupied by these illusive antelope.

Shots could vary from as little as sixty yards to over three hundred yards. A rifle shooting a flat trajectory such as a .270, 30.06, 7mm or 300-Win Mag would be recommended. Only use excellent quality expanding ammunition with a weight of at least 165 grains. Shot placement is going to be crucial. When hunting in these conditions, antelope do not always present a perfect “broad side” shot, so a good understanding of the quarry’s anatomy is required to ensure a quick, ethical and humane death.

Tracking a wounded Blue Wildebeest is hard work. Not only is a Blue Wildebeest dangerous, but also extremely tough. A Blue Wildebeest is also known as the “Property Agent” of the bush as a wounded Wildebeest will show you the entire concession.

Travelling arrangements for the Hunting Safari in South Africa

Hunters can enter South Africa via either Oliver Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) or flying into Cape Town International Airport. From both these points of entry, a domestic flight will need to be taken to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). The domestic flight time is approximately 1,5 to 2 hours. These flights are pleasant and affordable.

If time permits, we suggest that before or after the safari to enjoy a few nights in Cape Town and explore the Garden Route, Cape Winelands, Table Mountain along with an extensive list of additional activities.

Travelling with a Firearm

To enter South Africa with a firearm, a SAPS 520 permit will be required. It is not difficult to arrange as obtaining the permit only requires minimum administration.

Best time to go Hunting in South Africa

African hunts are best during the cooler months, which run from April to September. South Africa does not have a set hunting season and safaris can take place all year around without any restrictions.

Be sure to pack warm clothes, gloves and jackets as the winter temperatures, especially in the months of June to mid-August can be exceptionally low, dropping to below 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

This Hunt in South Africa is an incredible opportunity to harvest trophy antelope in one of the best hunting areas. 

Having hunted in the Eastern Cape on many occasions for Kudu, Springbuck, Gemsbok, Bushpigs and many more species, the team at Game Hunting Safaris can vouch for this hunt. Top star not to be missed.
