About this hunt
Our hunting season runs all year round, with certain species being more successful during certain times of the year, enquire with us directly for the best times of year to book. All huntable species are subject to availability and we reserve the right to remove one of the species on offer according to the sustainability of that animal at the time. Clients will be designated a professional hunter for the duration of their stay. Most of our hunting is undertaken using the ‘spot and stalk, ‘stand’ and ‘still’ method. Our hunts are fair-chase and we pride ourselves in ethical and respectful hunting practices. Shots vary between 100-300 yards, we recommend you practice shooting from the long bipod shooting sticks as they are often used. We have traditionally been a rifle-hunting destination but in recent years, the bow-hunting trend has made its mark at us too. Success has been recorded with Impala, Bushbuck, Warthog and Bush Pig have also often featured in the bow hunters’ bags. Species are abundant so no traveling beyond the reserve is required to begin the hunt, enabling multiple attempts at these species with the bow during the entire safari. Various other species can provide hunters with surprise opportunities.

Wonderful father and son experience.
These guys and girls worked hard to find us good animals. We had a great time hunting together and sharing stories. The trackers were awesome as well. The accommodations are not the Hilton but this is Africa and I liked the rustic décor. Hot water and showers, electricity, comfortable beds and great food, what more do you need? I would have no issues staying here with my wife on a future trip. The ranch is beautiful and there is a wide variety of game and scenery. I will definitely be going back.
I have nothing negative to report.

Hunting with a strong conservation message .
The rolling hills of the prime thick foliage of Natal.... and the ancestral home of giant nyala and bushbuck.
Climbing those hills at age 73 can break a sweat!!!🤪
