HUNTING AREAS:
Our office/ base is in Pretoria and we conduct hunts throughout South Africa and Zimbabwe.
We have 100 000 acres of hunting concessions in the following provinces: Limpopo, Northwest, Mpumalanga, Free State and Northern Cape (Kalahari). No charter flights are needed for hunts in South Africa.
Zimbabwe we share 200 000 acres. Why such a wide variety? We believe that we can offer more species in their natural area of occurrence and certain species are only found in certain areas. Depending on what species the client want to hunt, we determine which area is most suitable. We will not move to more than 2 areas during a normal hunt, as time and distances is always a factor. Each area is uniquely different from the other in topography and vegetation, thus different species are more prevalent in certain parts of the country.
The duration of a safari depends on the client, but we would suggest a safari of between 7-14 days, with our 10 day packages being the most popular. Our hunting season normally start in April through September and end as late as November if you can bear the heat that late.
Normally we start the day early with a very light breakfast and coffee and then off for the morning hunt, we return for a big brunch around 11- 12. After brunch you can relax till the afternoon hunt starts around 2:30- 3 pm. We then hunt till last light and return to the camp to relax around the fire with drinks and a great evening meal. If we do an ‘out’ hunt for a day to a different area than where we stay, we will leave early and take a lunch pack to return that evening to camp.
At AfriVenture we cater for family trips and photographic safaris, exciting day trips can be incorporated in your safari plan. See our Activities for examples.
ACCOMMODATION:
All camps/lodging are of high standard with on suite bathrooms, the same you can expect at any touring destination and have electricity. We will supply plug adapters for charging of cameras etc. For the ladies, there will be hair driers if needed. Most camps/lodging will have cellphone access although Wi-Fi is not always available, so bring your phone it can also serve as an alarm clock.
Remember we have a daily laundry service. Most camps have a swimming pool and depending on the time of year relaxing around the pool is always a great idea. Our experienced staff will prepare scrumptious local meals and venison is always on the menu. We cater for special dietary needs if you have any medical condition, just let us know ahead of time.
