The safari in South Africa is not only focused on game hunting, but also taking out some time to relax and explore a little of the North West Province of South Africa. The plains game hunting safari allows for a combination of five of the most popular antelope to be hunted, whether by both members of the “couples safari”, or by only one (see further details below):
Hunting in the North West province of South Africa offers hunters fantastic plains game hunting opportunities with an exceptional variety.
Known as the platinum province due to the amount of platinum mines, topography ranges from the remnants of the Kalahari Desert to the High-veld plateau, uniquely resembling both the Limpopo Province and Kalahari region of South Africa. The biosphere is thus adapted to offer a diverse range of hunting opportunities, including dangerous game hunts on some of the larger ranches.
Both high-veld and low-veld species can be found in the area, saving international hunters travel time. Game hunting opportunities include plains game, exotic antelope and a variety of “night hunting safaris” for Aardwolf, Brown Hyena, Civets and Bat-Eared Foxes (Cites permits are required for some of the species). Certain ranches only focus on bow-hunting and as such do not offer rifle/black powder hunting.
The North West Province in South Africa is also a favorite location for tourist activities including Sun City Resort/Casino, Palace of the lost City, Big Five Reserves and visits to cultural villages.
** Additional excursions can day trips can be arranged.
This plains game hunt is in typical African safari style using the “walk and stalk” method. A safari truck may be made use of to move around and cover “more miles”. The hunting grounds in the North West Province are a combination of hilly, mountainous and open grass land areas. Due to supplementary feeding of antelope, the hunting concessions are popular for bow hunting safaris.
Hunters can also follow the “ambush method” of plains game hunting by camouflaging themselves along frequently used game trails and strategic vantage points.
Nothing beats the excitement of an African hunting adventure! Arriving at Johannesburg’s Oliver Tambo International Airport. You will be met by Patrick, or a member of his team, who will assist with any rifle collections and “meet and greet”. Transport from Oliver Tambo to the hunting lodge in the North West will be by road transfer, and takes approximately two hours through rolling hills and tranquil valleys, covering a distance of approximately one hundred miles.
Depending on your departure and arrival times of international flights into South Africa, it may be required to overnight in Johannesburg. Should this be a requirement, we would suggest African Sky Boutique Hotel who are conveniently situated nearby the airport. African Sky, also provides transfers to and from the airport and can assist with any rifle import permits before commencement of the hunting safari.For further information, see “Affiliated Services” below.
