Whether you are traveling alone or bringing a companion to experience Africa with you, this package offers one of the finest combinations of luxury and trophy-quality available in Limpopo.

 

The Kudu and Sable Safari Area

The hunting location for this 5-star plains game hunting safari will take place in South Africa's Limpopo Province in the beautiful Waterberg Mountains. The 5-star hunting lodge is located approximately a 3.5-hour drive north of Johannesburg on a privately owned 10,000-acre reserve featuring three luxury lodges. This area has earned an outstanding reputation for producing exceptional plains game trophies, particularly mature kudu and outstanding sable antelope.

The Waterberg region is made up of rolling mountains, open savanna, thick bushveld, and rocky ridgelines that provide ideal habitat for both species. The varied terrain allows hunters to glass from elevated vantage points before beginning careful spot-and-stalk approaches through natural cover. The reserve is professionally managed to maintain excellent trophy quality while providing hunters with an authentic South African safari experience.

Trophy Kudu and Sable Hunting Methods

This safari focuses on two of South Africa's most sought-after plains game species: the greater Southern kudu and the magnificent sable antelope. Hunting is conducted using traditional spot-and-stalk methods, with each day tailored to the species being pursued and current conditions in the field.

Kudu are typically hunted by glassing from elevated vantage points overlooking valleys, hillsides, and feeding areas before planning a careful stalk through the bushveld. Mature bulls are most active during the cooler morning and late afternoon hours, often disappearing into thick cover as temperatures rise. Patience, careful observation, and use of the wind correctly are essential for consistently getting within shooting range of these elusive animals.

Sable are generally found in small breeding herds or bachelor groups and are commonly encountered feeding in more open savanna areas before moving into thicker bush during the day. Once a mature bull has been identified, the Professional Hunter will carefully plan the stalk, using available terrain and vegetation to close the distance without being detected. Sable are extremely alert and rely heavily on their eyesight, making slow, deliberate movements critical to a successful hunt.

Each evening concludes back at the lodge where hunters can relax, enjoy outstanding South African cuisine, and discuss the day's hunt while preparing for the following morning.

About the Sable & Kudu

The greater kudu is widely regarded as one of Africa's most iconic plains game animals. Mature bulls are famous for their long spiral horns, impressive body size, and remarkable ability to disappear into thick bush, earning them the nickname "The Grey Ghost." The Waterberg Mountains have long been recognized for producing exceptional kudu trophies, with mature bulls commonly exceeding the expectations of visiting hunters.

The sable antelope is considered by many hunters to be one of Africa's most beautiful and prestigious plains game species. Mature bulls are easily recognized by their striking jet-black coats, bold white facial markings, and long, sweeping scimitar-shaped horns. Their regal appearance and naturally cautious behavior have made sable one of the continent's most sought-after trophies.

Together, these two species represent a classic South African plains game safari, combining two distinctly different hunting experiences into one unforgettable package. In addition to these trophies, there are other exceptional plains game trophies on these concessions. Pricing for additional plains game animals along with select dangerous game may be viewed via the link below.

And don't forget, because you are booking this package through Discount African Hunts, you will receive an additional 10% off of the trophy fees for additional animals you shoot that are not in the package!

The Animal Museum

One of the unique highlights of this safari is the impressive on-site African wildlife museum. The collection features beautifully mounted specimens of Africa's Big Five along with dozens of other plains game and dangerous game species from the local region. It offers an excellent opportunity to study different species up close while learning more about African wildlife and hunting.

On the evening of your arrival, dinner is traditionally served at the Elephant Lodge located within the museum complex, providing an unforgettable introduction to your African safari.

The Wine Cellar

Located beneath the animal museum is an impressive climate-controlled wine cellar featuring an extensive collection of fine South African wines. Wine tastings can be arranged during your stay, allowing guests to sample some of the country's outstanding local vintages.

Although the safari includes a full beverage package, guests wishing to enjoy premium wines may select bottles directly from the cellar to accompany dinner.

The Bar and Pool

The lodge features a fully stocked bar overlooking the swimming pool, where a bartender is available during normal service hours. After a day in the field, it is the perfect place to relax with a cold drink while watching wildlife move through the surrounding bushveld.

The pool area also features a heated spa, providing a comfortable place for both hunters and companions to unwind after each day's activities.

The Companion's Program

One observer is included free of charge with this safari package. While hunters are in the field, companions may participate in a variety of activities designed to showcase the beauty and culture of South Africa.

The companion's program includes a variety of activities, from game drives, guided walks, visits to nearby reserves and national parks, shopping excursions, sightseeing, and other activities arranged by the lodge. Companions are also welcome to accompany the hunter for portions of the safari if they wish, making this an outstanding package for couples and families traveling together. See below for the most up-to-date list of activities offered under this program.

Getting There

Hunters will arrive at O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg, South Africa, where they will be met by a representative of the outfitter. From the airport, guests are transferred by road approximately three hours north into the beautiful Waterberg Mountains of Limpopo Province.

No charter flights are required, and all airport transfers associated with the package are included.
