What calibers are recommended for African game?
Medium calibers like .270 or .308 for plains game and large calibers like .375 H&H for dangerous game.
Do I need prior hunting experience?
While experience helps, our professional guides assist beginners throughout the hunt.
Do I need any special permits to hunt?
Yes, hunting permits are required, and we will assist with obtaining the necessary documentation. This process varies by species and location. Some areas may have specific regulations depending on the time of year.
How long will the safari last?
The duration of the safari can vary, but most hunting trips last between 5 and 10 days. Shorter or longer packages are available depending on your preferences.
What happens if I don’t harvest the game I’m hunting?
Our guides and PHs will work closely with you to ensure a successful hunt. If you do not harvest your desired species, you can either continue hunting during your stay or book another trip to try again.
Is the trophy fee included in the safari price?
Trophy fees are typically separate from the safari package price. These fees are based on the species hunted and the size of the trophy. A detailed list of trophy fees will be provided at the time of booking.
What is the best time of year to go on a hunting safari?
The best time for hunting depends on the type of game you’re interested in and the region. Generally, hunting is excellent during the dry season, which is from May to October, as the animals are easier to spot near water sources. However, different species may have peak hunting seasons throughout the year.
What draw weight is ideal for bowhunting in Africa?
A minimum of 50 lbs for plains game and 70 lbs for larger species like buffalo.
