PLAINS GAME
“Discover the Magic of Plains Game Hunting in Southern Africa”
Plains game hunting is an irresistible draw, captivating more hunters to Africa each year than the combined allure of the Big Five. Southern Africa, in particular, stands as a treasure trove, boasting more mammal species than any other destination on Earth. The profusion of antelope species in Southern Africa, particularly South Africa, transforms it into an absolute haven for those who seek medium-sized game.
However, the myth that plains game hunting in Southern Africa is an exorbitant endeavor, best suited for only the wealthiest of hunters, prevails. Let us dispel this myth. In truth, you can book a highly enjoyable plains game hunting safari in South Africa for a cost considerably less than the average elk hunt in the western states of America.
African plains game hunting unfolds across a tapestry of diverse geographical areas, varying significantly in climate, vegetation, and topography. These hunting grounds range from densely wooded savannas to expansive open grasslands. Our extensive array of plains game flourishes, spanning from the bushveld of the Limpopo province to the vast, sweeping plains of the Free State and back to the sandy, thorn-filled landscapes of the Kalahari. Each region offers a unique habitat, ideally suited to specific plains game species and presents distinctive challenges for the plains game hunter.
Hunting in the bushveld, characterized by its thick cover, often entails close-range shots, within 100 paces. In contrast, the vast open plains of the Free State may demand shots at distances of up to 300 paces, while the dense thorn bush of the Kalahari may require the hunter to take shots at less than 50 paces. Stalking in the Kalahari region can be exceptionally demanding due to the seemingly endless stretches of sand.
Our hunting techniques adapt to the hunter’s preference, ranging from the classic walk and stalk approach to glassing and hunting from a well-equipped blind with bow and arrow. We also provide options for clients with disabilities or limitations, ensuring an inclusive experience. They can hunt from one of our well-equipped hides and/or hunting vehicles, making the magic of plains game hunting accessible to all.
