Hunts are available from March to November. Choose from our packages or customize your own. We hunt on top nature reserves and private properties across Southern Africa. Hunting helps manage wildlife populations, maintains ecological balance, and fosters a connection with nature. Our flexible approach caters to all hunting methods and species. We offer hunts in Limpopo, Free State, Eastern Cape, and the Kalahari, with each area suited to specific species. Enjoy walk and stalk or spot and stalk hunting in Africa’s open landscapes.
Bow hunting safaris are available year-round, with the best season from July to November. We hunt in exclusive bow hunting areas, primarily using blinds near waterholes and walk and stalk methods. Our professional team ensures an exciting, memorable adventure. Regulations vary by province, and we’ll provide the latest info before booking. Bow hunting offers a unique wildlife experience, with each hunt bringing new surprises. Permits are required in most provinces, and we'll arrange them in advance, ensuring compliance with equipment and species restrictions.

Lake Jozini, located in Kwazulu-Natal, is South Africa’s top spot for tiger fishing, just 30 minutes from Pongola Game Reserve and 15 minutes from Mkuze Game Reserve. Charter fishing in St Lucia is popular for various game fish species. A fishing permit is required.
