The Cullinan region, with its rugged terrain and diverse wildlife, provides an extraordinary backdrop for an unforgettable African safari. This area is especially renowned for Oryx (Gemsbuck) and Blue Wildebeest hunting. Walking and stalking your prey in the bush not only demand patience and stealth but also a keen understanding of animal behavior, particularly when pursuing notable species like Gemsbuck, Zebra, Blesbok, and the iconic Blue Wildebeest.
Blesbok hunting is another rewarding pursuit. Understanding their grazing patterns can be advantageous, but hunters must remain vigilant; any misstep can send them running.
For those seeking a thrilling experience with smaller game, Duiker hunting offers a unique challenge. These agile antelopes are adept at hiding and require patience and careful stalking.

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.
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 Gerhard and proof of ownership (Customs declaration form 4457 for US citizens).
