The Outfitter hosting the Hunt

Wicus and the team offer hunters the unique experience of 5-star luxury combined with an epic dangerous game hunting experience. From Rhino hunting and fine dining, to spa treatments and Cape buffalo trophies, this is a premier hunting experience not to be missed!

Traveling to the Northern Cape

Hunters must land at OR Tambo International Airport, then take a domestic flight to Kimberley airport, from where a two hour road transfer will be taken to the hunting concession.

For hunters importing rifles for use during their safari, a SAPS 520 import permit needs to be completed.

The Hunting Reserve

Your journey unfolds across a privately owned 33,000-acre nature reserve, home to one of the largest populations of Southern White Rhinos in existence. This malaria-free sanctuary is meticulously managed to balance sustainable hunting with groundbreaking conservation practices.

The Rhino Hunting Safari

Unlike traditional hunts, this experience allows you to stalk and dart a White Rhino using a specialized dart gun. The animal is temporarily sedated for essential veterinary procedures, such as health checks and horn trimming, before being safely revived. The Rhino is not harmed in any way. Once darted, you’ll have the rare privilege of examining the Rhino up close, witnessing its immense power and vulnerability.

Few experiences compare to standing face-to-face with a White Rhino in its natural habitat. Rhino darting is recognized as an affordable and ethical way to complete your Big Five, while also offering the chance to have your “trophy” officially entered into the Safari Club International (SCI) record books.

This hunt also includes the Cape buffalo. Aptly referred to as Africa’s Black Death, the Cape Buffalo is an unpredictable, grumpy, and highly dangerous member of the Big 5. With horns measuring under 40 inches, this hunt promises both intensity and reward. Beyond the headline species, the concession also offers opportunities to encounter and pursue premier African plains game, ensuring a diverse and unforgettable safari.

This unique blend of hunting and conservation ensures that every step you take in the veld contributes to the preservation of Africa’s wildlife heritage.
