Bow Transport

  • Bows are currently not regulated by South African customs, but a sturdy carry case is essential for safety during transportation.

Optimal Season & Landscape

Season Duration

  • July to September is the dedicated Bow Hunting season.

Minimum Days

  • A minimum of 10 days is required for any bow hunting safari.

Success Advantage

  • During this period, limited water sources concentrate game around waterholes, significantly increasing your success rate.

Landscape

  • The indigenous trees shed their leaves, making spotting animals from hides much easier. Our vast hunting area covers almost 500,000 acres of challenging Limpopo Lowveld and mountains.

Payment Conditions

  • All prices quoted in USD. A 50% deposit on daily rates secures your date. Deposits are non-refundable if cancelled 90 days prior to the safari. Animals wounded and lost will be paid in full. Balance is payable upon completion of the safari.
