Plains Game Hunting
A typical day will begin with a full breakfast, a morning trip into the field to hunt, a relaxing lunch back 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 with fresh game, chicken, beef andvegetables, and local desserts.

Accommodations
Enjoy six nights stay in a hunting lodge 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 plus Plains game and dangerous game species. The most popular time to hunt is late May through the end of August when temperatures are cooler. However, February through April is warmer as well as October and November. Therefore, the hunting season runs from February through November. Since South
Africa is below the equator, the seasons are opposite of those in the United States.

Item Special Note

Additional Information
Travel must be completed within three years from the date of purchase. Reservations are subject to availability. Hunting trips must be booked with the outfitter within 90 days for the 2025 to 2027 hunting seasons, as dates and availability go fast.

The $1,500 deposit goes 100% towards trophy fees for animals harvested at the end of the trip. An additional $1,000 deposit is due one year before arrival. This second deposit goes 100% towards the trophy fee bill at the end of the hunt.
Non-hunters can be added to the journey at $2,000 per person. Children from 5-12 are $400 and 13-17 are $800. A $500 deposit is required at booking with the balance due to the outfitter and the end of the trip. No deposit for children’s rates. Children can hunt with an adult.
