History and Tradition of Hunting in Africa

Hunting has played an integral part in South African culture and has a long history dating back to pre-colonial times. The San people, who were the earliest known inhabitants of this region, were skilled hunters who used bows and arrows to hunt game. Hunting was a fundamental way of life, and it provided food, medicinal benefits, and materials for making clothing. Over time, this tradition has evolved, trophy and family safaris have become prevalent.

Understanding African Hunting Safaris

A hunting safari is a unique type of African adventure that combines the thrill of the pursuit with the experience of observing wildlife in its natural habitat. During a hunt, visitors will have the opportunity to stalk and hunt big game like Cape Buffalo, and antelope species while also immersing themselves in the stunning natural bushveld surroundings.

In contrast to other types of trips in the country, like photographic excursions, hunting trips are more focused on the actual act of pursuit versus observing wildlife. Safaris require hunters to have evolved shooting techniques as well as the physical fitness to navigate Africa’s rugged terrain. A hunting adventure also differs from other types of safaris in their benefit to conservation. Hunting trips actively support wildlife conservation efforts by providing funding for habitat preservation and management programs.

With strict adherence to the ethics and regulations surrounding hunting in South Africa, we ensure the hunters safety and the sustainability of wildlife populations. Our ethics promote fair chase principles. The industry is highly regulated to ensure that everything is conducted ethically and sustainably for the environment and the animals involved.
