A Hunting Safari in South Africa
South Africa is home to exceptional game, resulting in it being referred to as the “hunting mecca” of Africa. This is a prize destination to enjoy targeting some of the most iconic African plains game species available! Enjoy this challenging hunt in South Africa’s Lowveld region, close to the famous Kruger National Park.
Known as the king of the spiral horns and often referred to as Africa’s “Gray Ghost” with their excellent camouflage skills, kudu offer an exhilarating game hunting adventure!
A blue wildebeest is a resilient adversary and is known for being tough and challenging to hunt. Known as property agents, a wounded Blue Wildebeest will show the hunter the entire ranch. Nothing beats hunting warthog in terms of a fast-paced hunting adventure! Be on the alert, these hogs appear out of nowhere. A impala is a graceful, medium-sized antelope. Whether you are a novice or expert hunter, this South African plains game hunting target remains a sought-after trophy.
The zebra stallions are mostly hunted for their beautiful hide, which makes an amazing trophy for any hunting enthusiast. The nyala is a medium sized antelope, preferring dense bush and shrubs for its habitat. A sable, known as “The Prince of Africa” provides a unique and testing hunting adventure for those with patience, perseverance, and expert stalking skills.
The Plains Game Hunting Concession
Located outside Nelspruit and close to the famous Kruger National Park, the game lodge is set in the majestic Louw’s Creek mountains. It offers hunting enthusiasts untamed and natural hunting grounds, sure to not only meet but exceed your expectations! Enjoy an African safari set in the heart of the Mpumalanga bush-veld!
The Hunting Lodge
The lodge consists of chalet rooms equipped with king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. Each bathroom has both a bathtub and shower, where basic amenities like soap, shampoo, and towels are provided. The lodge has electricity, but backup generators are in place should there be any power failures. Keeping in touch with friends and family back home is easy with the lodge’s WiFi which is easily accessible.
The family-friendly lodge boasts two swimming pools are well as an outside play area for children, while the braai area and fire pit provide the perfect backdrop and some mesmerizing views for some sun downers after a hectic day plains game hunting!
Traveling for the Hunt in South Africa
Hunters will land at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport and from there take a domestic flight to Kruger Airport. Airlink is recommended for this flight route as this airline is not only affordable (US$ 150 to US$ 200 return), but also professional, on time and equipped to safely transport firearms.
Africa Sky Boutique is recommended for hunters spending a night in Johannesburg. Management of the hotel assists with road transfers to/from OR Tambo International. They can also deal with all rifle import permits and obtain per-clearance approvals, thus avoiding delays. For further information, see “Affiliate Services“ below.
Should hunters prefer a road transfer from Oliver Tambo Airport to the hunting lodge, Peter can arrange and the cost (depending on fuel costs at the time of booking) will be approximately US$ 800 return. The road transfer takes approximately 5 hours.
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, literally placing a “damper” on the South African Hunt.
Rifles and Permits when Hunting South Africa
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 Peter, proof of ownership (Customs declaration form 4457 for US citizens).
South African is renowned for its exceptional African plains game hunting options, and this hunting safari will not disappoint. Additional plains game species are available on request. Have a chat to Peter.
* Wounding of Animals
