THE INTRODUCTORY SAFARI AREA

This African plains game hunting safari will take place 3.5 hours north of Johannesburg near the Botswana border in Limpopo Province. Limpopo is a premier plains game hunting area and this property is in prime hunting territory.  The lodge sits on a 6,000-acre game-filled hunting concession.

The property is an ideal mix of bushveld, savannah and rolling hills. Some of the property has dense underbrush and acacia trees are found throughout the property. The nearest town is Lephalale.

THE HUNTING SAFARI / METHODS

The hunting methods that will be primarily utilized for rifle hunting are walk and stalk, although the outfitter will accommodate various needs if necessary.  Bow hunting is available and will be done primarily from the existing blinds situated on waterholes / feeding areas. Walk and stalk may be attempted by the bowhunters if they want to give it a try. Plains game hunting in the Limpopo bushveld is some of the finest hunting that South Africa offers.

This property has been well-managed, and a hunter can expect to harvest some good quality trophy animals on this safari. The property has abundant populations of kudu, oryx, warthog, buffalo, sable, roan, bushbuck, waterbuck, tsessebe, golden wildebeest and many other species. There will be plenty of targets on this hunt and it will be a memorable hunting experience for sure.
