BEST 80,000 ACRE PRESERVE IN SOUTH AFRICA??

This may well be the best preserve in all of South Africa. 80,000 acres under one fence where the low-end Kudu goes 50 inches, trophy quality nyala and buffalo averaging 40 inches!

This ranch was owned by a wealthy private family for over 20 years when this PH bought it 2 years ago. The ranch currently has approximately 200 buffalo and they want to increase that number to over 600. They are currently planning a black and white rhino reintroduction program on the property as well. The outfitter is very proud and excited to offer the most realistic wilderness safari in all of South Africa. It may not be Tanzania, Mozambique or Zambia but is probably the closest you will get to those in South Africa and avoid charters, malaria and just the overall cost of those other countries.

This area is quite mountainous with a major river running through the property, not your normal flat boring high fence hunt on 1,000 to 10,000 acres of put and take like most of South Africa.

Day rates of $400 per day 1×1, $300 2×1 and non-hunting observer rate of $185 per day. Included are all licenses and permits, Ph, skinners and camp staff, accommodations, catering/laundry, meals and drinks. Not included is airfare to and from South Africa, 15% VAT tax on day rates only, gratuities, rifle rental or ammunition, dipping, shipping and crating of trophies.
