Description

This adventure features a 10-day hunt in the Eastern Cape of South Africa for eight iconic African plains species. This package includes a KUDU, NYALA, GEMSBUCK, ZEBRA, WILDEBEEST (BLACK OR BLUE), IMPALA, WARTHOG AND BLESBUCK. This complete package includes all daily rates, food, lodging and 8 trophies. Additional hunt days and species can be added. This hunt can be arranged for either a rifle, archery, or handgun hunt. Rifle hunting is conducted throughout South Africa and all huntable species are available. Certain specialized game species require longer hunts and these are tailor made to your specifications. These Professional Hunters (PH's) have been guiding novice and seasoned hunters for many years and we will ensure that you will be ready for the hunt whether it is your first hunt or your son or grandson’s first hunt. There is a benchrest and shooting range available and all training can be arranged for the new hunter. All hunts are conducted by the spot-and-stalk method and are strictly fair chase. All hunting will be adapted to the ability of the hunter to ensure that you have the greatest possible hunting experience and will return again and again. Bowhunting is conducted mostly on archery-only concessions and hunts are by the “walk and stalk” method or from comfortable, well constructed pit blinds, ground blinds or tree stands. The game is extremely plentiful and trophy quality is outstanding. This outfit has specialist archery guides and they will put you onto the trophy of a lifetime. All Southern Africa’s huntable species are available to the dedicated bow hunter on these concessions. At the home ranch hunter will have the unique experience of bow hunting amongst the Big-5 and quite possibly have them coming around the blind during the hunt. In Africa the Big-5 include elephant, lion, leopard, cape buffalo and rhino.

                                                                                                                    Due to the fact that the outfit has a daily laundry service it is unnecessary to pack large volumes of clothing for your Southern African adventure. On arrival in South Africa hunter will need to obtain a temporary import permit for your firearm/s. You may bring in up to three firearms but not more than one per caliber, no semi-automatics. Hunter is advised to get all forms and permits done before their arrival. This is extremely helpful and time saving as the procedure can take time if there are a number of hunters on the flight. Concierge service from Hunters Permits Africa will do all your paperwork up front for a nominal fee and hunters will be personally met on arrival with their completed import permits requiring only a signature. Hunter can expect warmer weather to hunt, but long sleeves and long pants are a must. Layering systems are recommended. Included in your South African Safari are all field preparation of trophies. This includes skinning, caping, salting, tagging of hides, horns, tusks and skins. Also delivery to the local taxidermists. This outfitter recommends that the mounting of trophies be done in South Africa as their taxidermists have an intimate knowledge of the animals as well as the skills to do the work best. The turn around time is far shorter in South Africa and the costs are less than to have them mounted in the U.S.A. or Europe. Full gear list to be provided if requested when booked.
