Rob Birch of Royal Karoo has put together the ultimate trip for two couples. It consists of six full days of rifle hunting, one full day of deep sea fishing, and three full days of touring the Garden Route from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town for a total of 11 days and 12 nights. It consists of everything from pickup at Port Elizabeth to spending the last night in Cape Town.
This donation is all-inclusive and includes all transport, all accommodation, meals, table wine and sundowners, one PH (2x1), skinning and field preparation of trophies, local hunting license fees, and delivery of trophies to the taxidermist. Included in the package is a springbok grand slam of the four different subspecies, three other animals (1 kudu, 1 red hartebeest, 1 zebra), all to be shared between the two hunters.
The trip is planned for 2018, but if the bidder wants to use it in 2019, Rob is asking that he be kept whole by the bidder for any increase from 2018 to 2019 in his external costs of hotels for the trip to Cape Town. Also, the fishing is outsourced to an experienced operator, so planning will be needed to ensure an open day with good weather. The lodge is close enough to the coast, and so the hunting schedule is easily adjusted to take account of the weather. Included in the day count is a day to transfer between the hunting lodge and the fishing area.
It excludes air travel from North America to Port Elizabeth and return to North America from Cape Town, taxidermy costs, export of trophies to North America, and staff gratuities. The trip can be extended at $350 /day for hunters and $150/day for non-hunters. If the trip to Cape Town is to be extended, the cost would be $650/day/person, all in $CDN. There is also lots of plains game that can be added to the trip.
Royal Karoo Safaris is situated in the mountain country of the Eastern Cape where the Great Karoo meets valley bushveld. It encompasses 25000 acres with 5 of the seven vegetation types found in South Africa, and with a terrain variation of 2500ft, making it a truly unique opportunity. Being such a large area, it truly is fair chase, where hunting is proper and hard, but very rewarding and enjoyable.
This location results in the highest population density of Eastern Cape kudu in South Africa, so offering excellent walk and stalk hunting in this challenging setting. A wide variety of plains and bushveld game species are offered in their natural habitat with the region being rated as having the best kudu hunting in Africa.

We thank Rob and Royal Karoo Safaris for this great hunt and their continued support of SCI Calgary.
