Hunting in the Eastern Cape South Africa

South Africa is a top destination for African hunts, for seasoned veterans or first-time hunters, offering a diverse range of plans game. More than 45 huntable species in one country.  The Eastern Cape topography varies from mountainous areas, open plains, and grasslands. The terrain and weather conditions can vary, so hunters should be prepared.

This Malaria free area offers some of the finest hunting in the country, making it a world class destination for hunters.

Plains Game Management Hunts

Game animals in South Africa have to be correctly managed to ensure that carrying capacities are within recommended limits, thus preserving habitat. Management hunts are not only about ensuring that animal numbers are within thresholds, but maintaining proper population structure.
If you are after a hunting experience, and not necessarily the trophy, these plains game hunts offer an affordable opportunity to hunt desirable species.

The challenge on any management hunt is for the hunter/’s not to shoot the wrong animals referring to age, sex and size, but this is where your P.H. Kevin will assist.

Traveling for the Hunt in South Africa

International travelers can commence this hunting adventure by arriving in either Oliver Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg,  or Cape Town International (CPT). From either entry points into South Africa, you will need to take a domestic flight of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, arriving in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). For these domestic flights we would recommend flying with Air-Link, their flights are on time and affordable. Return domestic flights will cost on average US$ 200, depending on the season.

Upon arrival in Port Elizabeth, you will be met by your outfitter, Kevin or a member of the team.  A scenic 2-hour drive to the hunting lodge camp follows, with breathtaking views of the Eastern Cape’s diverse landscapes.

The Hunting  Lodge in South Africa

You will be staying in a charming wooden lodge tucked near the farmhouse, perfectly situated offering  panoramic views of the hunting grounds. The lodge features three tastefully designed twin rooms, each with its own private bathroom. Shared areas feature a cackling fireplace for cool evenings, plush couches that invite relaxation, and a dining area where delicious, home-cooked meals are served.

In the evening, cold beverages will be shared at the spacious outdoor fire pit. A decked pool beside the lodge, offers a tranquil area to unwind and soak in the serene surroundings.

Non-hunters will find plenty to enjoy too! Whether you prefer to relax and savor the stunning views or embark on local excursions, there’s something for everyone. This hunting safari promises unforgettable memories and experiences.

An Amazing African Hunting Safari – 20 Animals in 10 Days

If you’re looking for a hunting experience that goes beyond the usual adventure, a management hunt in the Eastern Cape Province is the perfect opportunity. This hunt is about more than just harvesting trophies—it’s about playing a role in conservation and wildlife management while of hunting some of South Africa’s most iconic plains game animals.

On this management hunt, you will be hunting several key species, each with its own unique challenges.

Kudu are one of the most elusive Africa Plains Game animals to hunt in South Africa. These animals use thick bush and tall grasses for cover, making them difficult to spot. Blesbok Ewes: Blesbok may seem like they’re easy to find in the open grasslands, but these animals are always on high alert. It’s essential to pick the right target out of the herd, making this hunt a challenge.

Warthogs might be smaller and appear easier to take down, but these animals are fast and unpredictable. Hunting four of them will require a mix of patience, luck and skill. No African hunting safari is complete without hunting a few Warthogs.

Springbok Rams: Springbok are known for their speed and agility. Their small size makes them a tough target, especially when they’re darting across open plains.

The Impala is one of Africa’s most agile and fleet-footed animals. While they are abundant in the Eastern Cape, they are also quick to flee if they sense danger.

Black Wildebeest or Red Hartebeest Cows: Whether you’re targeting Black Wildebeest or Red Hartebeest cows, these animals are no slouches. Both species are strong and resilient, with Black Wildebeest often standing their ground when threatened. Red Hartebeest are fast and can cover great distances quickly.

This management hunt is an excellent opportunity for hunters who want to make a real difference in wildlife conservation while challenging themselves in one of Africa’s most beautiful and diverse environments.

When is the best time to hunt in South Africa?

South Africa is not regulated with regards to a specific hunting season and Plains Game Hunts can take place throughout the all year. The cooler months, which run from April to October are preferred. In summer, the temperatures are just to high. The drier months see the grasses being shorter in the veld, and the bush veld not as dense, both of which allows hunters to more easily spot their prey.

The months of November through to February are also the rainy season. Rain showers and bad weather can continue for days in the hotter months.

Rifles and Permits

While the provision of a suitable hunting rifle is included on this African hunt, you may want to bring your own, being familiar and knowing trajectories etc. To import a firearm into South Africa for the purpose of hunting, you will need to complete a SAPS 520 form which you can obtain online.

International hunters bringing their own rifles will need to provide copy passports, copy airline tickets, letter of invitation from Kevin and proof of ownership (Customs declaration form 4457 for US citizens).
