About this hunt

https://www.bookyourhunt.com/v2/outfitter/hunt/41601/speciesWe specialize in plains game hunts in the Eastern Cape. With 4 lodges we are able to hunt in excess of 30 species of game covering defferent types of terrain. The uniqueness and size of our concession areas make each day a new experience. Our plains game hunting terrain varies from open veldt plains to rugged mountainous areas, and down to the thick costal bush. Each of these areas offers a unique habitat, which is ideally suited to certain of the plains game species and holds it’s own special challenges for the plains game hunter. The hunting techniques that we employ can vary based upon the preference of the hunter. It can range from walk and stalk, to glassing and hunting from a blind with bow and arrow. Hunting the thick bush, shots can often be taken well inside 100 yards; the open rolling veldt plains may demand shots of up to 300 yards. The Eastern Cape Province is ideal for Bow Hunting because of the type of vegetation also called Valley Bushveld from where our name also originated. Any species available in an area can be bagged using this method. A hunter can also select an active game trail used by a specific trophy and erecting a tree stand or temporary blind. This hunting package includes 5 hunting days on 1x1 for 1 x hunter and 1 x observer, full board, all meals and drinks, transportation form/to Port Elizabeth Airport as well 1x Buffalo up to 42".
