Experience the best Kudu hunting you'll ever find yourself doing, in the mountains of the Eastern Cape, along with many other plains game species that make the valleys, mountains and open plains of the Eastern Cape and Free State their home.
March - May you can expect warm days that will require short pants or thin breathable long pants. Evenings will cool down in May. June - September long pants and warm tops/fleeces/jackets will be necessary as nights and early mornings are around freezing point. October - short/light long pants for the days with cool evenings.
If bringing your own rifle with for you safari is what you'd prefer, then calibers like 270, 7mm Rem Mag, 30-06, 300 Win Mag are ideal cartridges.
If you'd prefer to hire a rifle from us, all the Guides are equipped with either of the above calibers.

We have 4 base camps. Our main lodge in the Eastern Cape is situated in the mountains where most of our hunting is done and is 2 hours from the East London airport. If Bushbuck is on the list we shift lodges for a few days either at the beginning of the hunt or at the end. Our high altitude accommodation is a 3,5 hours drive from our main lodge. This lodge is used if the hunter has added a Vaal Rhebuck to his list which is a speciality specie. We also have a lodge in the Free State province which has an airport close by. It is also a 3,5 hour drive from our main lodge.
The mountains of the Eastern Cape generally require a person to be in fair to good shape. I do recommend some cardio training for at least two months before the trip. Being able to shoot off shooting sticks is a MUST!
Hunting licenses and TOPS permits are included in the price unless specified differently.
