Thread: Hunting South Africa DIY??

Each province has its own laws so bear in mind some areas foreign hunters have to have a ph guide them.

As ebf says, springbok are a grassland plains game so generally long shots, would be quite a challenge with a bow. Kudu have ears like satellite dishes and are a great challenge, especially in dry crackly bush!

I think you will be pleasantly surprised what you can afford there, the NZD is very strong against the Rand, makes for good value.

When are you looking at? Hunting season is from 31st May to 30th August, you can get hunts outside this time but might be slightly more difficult. Winter is good as the snakes are hibernating and it is dry and crisp and cooler (relatively, Durban hit 31 degrees this saturday in mid winter!)

The limpopo, mpumalanga and northern natal are my favourite areas to hunt, it is the real lowveld area right up north, the kind of bush you imagine africa to be, also nice to be near Kruger and the beach if you in natal. Sodwana is awesome for diving and gamefishing.

Heaps to do and see so if there is anything in particular aside from hunting i can try and help, impossible to do it all in one trip!
