South Africa Safaris

Overview of South Africa Safaris:

TRANSVAAL:

The Northern Transvaal, near the Zimbabwe border, provides excellent plains game hunting. This region has many large hunting estates rather than the small traditional game ranches commonly found throughout other areas in South Africa. The Transvaal consists of mountains, bushveld, thicket and open areas and some of the game does free range and can be considered “fair chase”. Buffalo, Leopard, Sable, Roan, and Nyala are available to hunt here, as well as normal South African plains game. The northeast also contain valleys of the Soutpansberg and Blouberg Mountains, scattered with Kopjes. The Northern boundary of the Kruger National Park close to Mozambique and Zimbabwe is where the Big Game hunting is done! You will find Elephant, Cats, Buffalo, etc., along with a variety of antelope. Some camps are “Old East African Style” with safari tents stocked all the proper amenities that provide clients with comfort in the bush.

EASTERN CAPE:

The East Coast of South Africa, in the Cape Province situates this area. It consists of many different concessions based on the “ranch” system. Furthermore, this region holds a biome of mixed scrubs along with a terrain assorted with open plains and some open high hills. A lot of unique and hybrid species are indigenous in this area which makes it a must for the trophy collector to hunt!

ZULULAND:

This is the home of the secretive Nyala. Unlike elsewhere else in South Africa where Nyala is also available, Zululand is where this magnificent creature has its indigenous roots. Therefore, in its lush and natural jungle environment, the Nyala grows undisturbed to produce horn sizes of over 30-inches. This region also holds the sought after Red Duiker and Suni. These animals inhabit this area in extraordinarily high numbers!

NATAL MIDLANDS:

Situated near the Drakensberg Mountains, this area consists of mainly open plains and rolling hills. Hunting along the foothills of the Drakensberg is mainly ranch hunting.

South Africa Safaris Conclusion:

South Africa is undeniably the Continent’s most developed country and affords the greatest diversity of touring. Sun City’s “Las Vegas style” Casinos, the Cape’s unique Wineries and its luxurious Beach Resorts, Historical Cape Town, Magnificent Kruger (and other National Parks) just begin the extensive list of touring destinations.
