Why is African Plains Game Hunting growing in Popularity?

African plains game hunting in South Africa remains the most popular of all hunting categories, perhaps because it is all-inclusive. It allows a beginner hunter to target his first impala antelope, while a more experienced and knowledgeable hunter might be interested in targeting some of the other sought-after options, for example, the largest antelope in South Africa, the Cape Eland. Plains game hunting is all inclusive, giving novice and seasoned hunters a challenging safari.

African plains game hunting takes place across a variety of habitats and locations, from the desert-like regions of the Kalahari in the Northern Cape to the more mountainous regions of the Eastern Cape, and the bushveld of Limpopo province, to name but a few. Wherever you are in South Africa, there is some type of plains game available to hunt!
