Situated in the heart of the Eastern Cape, South Africa,

set against a beautiful landscape, the Hunter has an

opportunity for classic African Adventure,

experiencing the essence of 5 Star African luxury in a

Malaria-free Game Reserve. This reserve is home to

three of Africa's BIG 5- Lion and Rhino and Buffalo.

Its land stretches over an area of 60,000 acres and

offers guests the ultimate hunting experience. In this

diverse and very private environment the largest

variety of Game Species in the world exists to tempt

the hunter.

The area abounds with Black and White

Rhino, Lion, Buffalo, Sable, Roan, as well as a large

variety of all the Plains Game and African Exotics. A

Total Number of over 40 Species is offered

There are excellent opportunities of taking at

least three of the big five, along with an array of

quality plains game, like Giraffe, Zebra, Lechwe,

Eland, Kudu, Sable, Roan, Waterbuck, Bontebok,

among others. A wide variety of the specialized

African Exotics, which constitutes an exciting and challenging hunt, is also on offer to the hunter.

This is a true hunting experience in the Eastern Cape Karoo region of South Africa, while at the same time affording guests

a safe, pampered and educational journey that will never be forgotten. This family-run operation is committed to protecting their

natural resources, their future livelihood and all their wildlife to ensure that the future generations will enjoy their precious,

sustainable heritage on the land that is loved and protected.

HUNT LION IN SOUTH AFRICA The African Lion is one of the most feared and

respected of all of the Big 5. It is truly the King of the

African Savannah and there is no better way to hunt these

magnificent beasts than on foot. The “old school way.“ This

outfitter has been hunting free-ranging Lion for over seven

years. There are three dedicated Lion reserves, comprising

over 25,000 acres, devoted to free range Lion. These

exclusive hunts have been very well received by hunting

communities and are especially popular with clients who do

not want to hunt “canned” Lion. Vast majorities of Hunters

have typically hunted West Africa, Tanzania, Zambia,

Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique and have either been

unsuccessful on Lion or have wanted to add heavier maned

Lion to their collection or just to experience lion hunting at

its best. All these hunters have found the walk and stalk hunt

challenging and truly fair chase

HUNT RHINO IN SOUTH AFRICA Every hunter that visits Africa, dreams of hunting the Big Five. Thanks

to like-minded wildlife enthusiasts and the efforts by sportsman these

pre-historic giants can once again be hunted. For many people the cost

is a prohibitive. With this outfitter’s on-going management plan and

carefully managed Rhino population there is a thrilling

alternative. The “Rhino dart” this is a legal method of darting and is

recognized by both DSC and SCI as part of a big 5 hunt. This is a

unique and exciting experience to get up close and personal to one of

Africa’s most dangerous game. This is one of the few Rhino reserves

that have an accredited management and research program in place

with the South African Game Department.

Black Rhino

The Ultimate in Sport Hunting! A large population of Black Rhino can

be found walking amongst Lion. This is most probably the most

dangerous of all hunts and extremely challenging as the Black Rhino is

notoriously cantankerous. Hunters are more likely to become the

hunted and not the hunter! It becomes extremely challenging testing the hunter and Professional Hunter’s abilities against the

Rhino’s very acute sense of hearing and smell, coupled with the Rhino’s natural aggression when the hunter intends to dart the

Rhino instead of using a killing shot. Bagging one of the Black Rhino puts the hunter in the league of the elite hunting fraternity.

Very few hunters have acquired this distinction.

White Rhino

The White or “Square lipped” Rhino command respect because of their sheer size. Stalking a prehistoric creature such as the White

rhino is always an exciting experience. Their eyesight is better than people give them credit, but it is their nose and ears that are

excellent. When in close quarters they are completely unpredictable and are likely to run towards you for closer inspection!

HUNT THE CAPE BUFFALO IN SOUTH AFRICA

The Cape buffalo has earned its respect by many PH’s and

Hunters across the African continent. Robert Raurk best describes

them “He looks at you as if you owe him money”. They are

unpredictable and probably the most dangerous if cornered or

wounded. These Bovine beasts appear docile but when cornered or

wounded they can be extremely aggressive and cunning. This is a

classic, dangerous game safaris in the old style, with plenty of

walking, tracking and scouting

Coastal Hunting

Lush, undulating grassland and Thornveld plateaus are typical

Eastern Cape Sweetveld bush for hunting in an area steeped in the

history of Anglo-Boer conflicts. Trophies on offer are the shy Blue

Duiker and Oribi, the elusive Grysbuck, the aggressive Bushpig and

Bushbuck and the cunning Caracal, only a short distance away in

the natural beauty and biodiversity of pristine bush and lush farmland. You will be welcomed as guests to the picturesque seaside

village of Port Alfred, which is in the heart of the Sunshine Coast, between the Eastern Cape coastal cities of Port Elizabeth, East

London and inlands towards historical Settler Country. The stunning Safari Lodge is a stone’s throw from the sea and enjoys access

to every modern amenity. Providing gracious accommodation, the Safari Lodge is

situated high on the banks of the wide, navigable and tidal Kowie River and nestled

amongst the natural Milkwood trees on a ten acre property with private jetty.

Superb beaches, invigorating boat cruises, river and deep sea fishing, golfing along

spectacular stretches of the Indian Ocean coastline, resort spa treatment facilities, quad-

biking, water-skiing, scuba diving, canoeing, whale and dolphin watching, Horse

Safaris through contrasting habitats of dune forest, open grassland and over

magnificent beaches and sand dunes, led by qualified guides, visits to nearby private

game reserves or walks in unspoiled indigenous forests are all a few of the

recreational activities on offer. Page 2
