Some Frequently Asked Questions you may find useful
What is the best time of the year to book a safari?
Rifle hunters will enjoy hunting from the middle of March to the end of September as during this period there are fewer leaves on the trees so the animals are much easier to see and of course it’s our winter so the temperatures are cooler.
How long will it take to get my trophies home?
Usually, this process for dip and pack takes up to six months. Obviously, taxidermy and mounting of the trophies will take longer.
What should I pack?
- Passport & tickets
- Rifle and ammunition
- Comfortable walking boots/ shoes and socks. (Please don’t bring new shoes but a comfortable well-worn pair)

Is there mobile phone reception?
There is limited cell phone reception so it’s best to take your phone hunting with you and leave it on SILENT to pick up reception.

WIFI and internet access is variable across Southern Africa’s remote hunting locations. Please ask your Safari agent to advise.
Do I need to pay a deposit?
50% of the day fees need to be paid in advance to secure your safari dates as well as 50% deposit for specific big 5 hunting animals to secure the trophy and or permit tag.
