Hunting Areas and Camps |
| The primary areas in South Africa where we conduct
hunting safaris are: the Eastern Free State and Limpopo Bushveld.
In each of these safari areas we have various hunting
concessions. The specific concession we will utilize will depend
on the time of year as well as the number of trophies which we
have taken in a concession area. A description of each of the
safari areas is provided as well as some photos of typical
safari hunting camps in the area. The trophy species which are
available in the area are also listed. |

Area Description
The Free State is a rural province of wide horizons and blue
skies, with farmland, mountains and widely dispersed towns. The
land of the windpomp and krummelpap is peaceful, with a high
quality of life, good infrastructure and a low crime rate. The
province covers an area of 129 464 km and has a population of
2,8 million – 6,4% of the national population. Although the
Free State is the third largest province in South Africa, it has
the second smallest population and the second lowest population
density.
The biggest part of the Free State is an undulating plain at
between 1000m and 1500m. However, the eastern and southern
region, which borders Lesotho, is hilly to mountainous with
scattered flat top hills or ‘kopjes’.
The Free State is hot in the summer, when rain falls between
600mm and 750mm in the east to less than 300mm in the west, It
can be very cold in the winter, with heavy frost over most of
the province. Snow is often recorded on the eastern mountains.
Average winter temperature : 7.7’C Average Summer Temperature

The Free State disposes of an extensive system of parks and
reserves, including a national park (Golden Gate) and more than
80 provincial, municipal and privately owned nature parks,
nature reserves, game reserves and game farms. A vast amount of
wildlife species can be found and you are sure to find what you
are looking for whether on safari hunting or just traveling.

| Limpopo Bushveld |
|
This area is a land of dramatic contrasts
characterizes by hot savannah plains and mist-clad mountains:
age old indigenous forests and cycads alongside later day
plantations; ancient mountain fortresses which have stood guard
over these plains. It's moreover a land of legend and romance
that will intrigue present-day visitors with tales of ancient
tribes and fearless pioneers who braved the unknown in days of
old. To the day the province is the home of the enigmatic rain
queen who, as the legends of her people proclaim, has the
mystical power to make rain.
The Limpopo bushveld has long been considered
one of South Africa's finest hunting areas with an abundance of
different safari species which can be hunted in challenging
terrain. The terrain varies from savannah grassland to thick
riverine brush and hilly outcrops which are favored by species
like the Kudu.
The area is in a summer rainfall region with
most rain occurring from October to March. Rainfall is normally
in the form of thunder showers in the late afternoon which
rarely last more than two hours
