Plains Game Hunting

A typical day begins with a full breakfast, a morning hunt, a relaxing lunch at the lodge, and another afternoon plains-game hunting experience. The day is completed with sundowners (cocktails) around the boma (fireplace sitting area), appetizers, and dinner with courses inspired by the local South African culture, including fresh venison, chicken, beef, vegetables, and local desserts.

Lodge Inclusive

* Enjoy two three-night stays in hunting lodges designed with the American hunter in mind.
* Each hunter or couple will have a single-occupancy room and bathroom.
* Savor locally inspired gourmet meals, superb South African wine, and local beer in the main dining area.
* Relax by the boma and share stories about your successful day of hunting.

Hunt thousands of South African bushveld acres for up to 45 Plains game and dangerous game species. This hunting trip is good from August through January. Since South Africa is below the equator, the seasons are opposite of those in the United States.
