Bushveld South Africa

After a short breakfast, the first stalking tour with the professional hunter and the tracker starts in the early morning hours. First of all, the area is extensively observed and glassed. When suitable game comes into sight, you stalk and try to approach by taking advantage of every cover and the wind. After another late breakfast or lunch, the stalking continues in the afternoon. The evening ends with a delicious dinner on the veranda or by the fire in the lodge.

It is important to choose a weapon you trust and know well. If this rifle has a caliber .30-06, it is completely sufficient and can be used without hesitation and with the necessary care. With heavy fillings the .30-06 is absolutely sufficient for all antelopes. For Eland, Kudu and Oryx we recommend a stronger caliber, which guarantees the necessary penetration power, because this game is very heavy and massive. It should be kept in mind that large eland bulls can clearly surpass a buffalo at mass. The 8 X 68 S, 8 x 75 RS, 338 Win. Mag. , 9,3x62, 9,3x64 and similar calibers are proven and suitable.

Also the "old" slow calibers like 8 X 57 IS, 8 X 60 S are suitable - if you consider their limitations regarding the trajectory. Here is some information on suitable projectiles for different game species. Of course, if you want to hunt different game species, you have to make compromises when choosing the caliber. It should be noted that it is extremely important to use hard bullets like TUG, X Barns, ID Classic, A-Frame, Nosler etc..

The weapon for hunting in Africa should be robust and insensitive. The rifle is exposed to vibrations, blows and impacts in the off-road vehicle. When stalking through the thornbush, scratches and bruises can often hardly be avoided. Therefore on a safari you should take a weapon for heavy use and not a "piece of jewellery". It should also be remembered that sand and dust can penetrate almost any system and cause malfunctions. When importing weapons to South Africa, please note that persons under the age of 21 are not allowed to import any weapons! But we have enough loan weapons on site.

Sleeping on simple camp beds, taking a shower in the open air and behind the curtain. A hunting area for the experienced Africa connoisseur, who really likes original hunting. The basic costs for this wilderness camp are 20% cheaper than in a luxury lodge about 60 km away. And you have to drive about 120 kilometres every day if you want to use this lodge.
