This is my favorite way to hunt Plains Game in Africa. We will consult with you about the animals you would like to hunt and then custom tailor a package for you. You will stay in one of our luxury lodges in the beautiful Eastern Cape region of South Africa. A member of our team will great you at the East London airport, where you will then take a scenic ride out into the countryside to our remote modern lodge. There, you will enjoy 4 star accommodations with daily housekeeping, laundry service, and gourmet meals.
Your day will start early in the morning with a light breakfast along with your PH and other hunters in camp. After breakfast the hunt begins, where you will travel in Safari vehicles looking for game. Once game is spotted, the hunt is on and you, along with your PH and tracker will formulate a plan and stalk your quarry. When your stalk is over, our team of trackers and skinners will recover and care for your trophy while you go after the next one.
Evenings start out with appetizers and cocktails at the main lodge, followed by a gourmet meal and delicious home made deserts. Enjoy the outdoor fire pit after dinner to share the details of the days hunt and prepare for what tomorrow will bring.
This is truly a awesome way to experience a Plains Game Safari!
