South Africa Trophy Hunting & Fees

Emphasis is placed on fair chase ethical hunting. Except for a number of selected species, hunting is not conducted on high fenced game ranches. It is very important that we are informed at the time of booking as to the priority species selection and the primary objectives of your safari. This will enable us to allocate the appropriate area to you and to ensure that the required tags are reserved for you from our set quota.

Certain species are restricted to a minimum safari duration – these days have to be booked and paid for, irrespective of whether the animal is bagged or not. Lion and Leopard require 14 days, Buffalo or Rhino require 10 days, Elephant 16 days, and Sable 10 days. The minimum booking for plains game is 7 days. For safaris that are booked for 10 days or less, only one area will be hunted, while safaris longer than 10 days will enable two areas to be hunted. Certain species are restricted to specific areas and trophy quality can be superior in one area as opposed to the other therefore prior planning is important.
