Gentlemen , while booking two of these Buffalo hunts yesterday , mailing info back and forth , and answering numerous questions , I realised that I might have created the wrong impression of the hunting area when mentioning a fence. I also realised that there is confusion over the whole Greater Kruger hunting concept.

Allow me to clarify this.

Most hunting areas in South Africa are high fenced , even the ones in the greater Kruger general region. Essentially these are game ranches , large or small , bordering on or close to Greater Kruger.

However , the reserve that these Buffalo are hunted on is a true free range area inside Greater Kruger. The reserve is called the Balule game reserve and , together with Klaserie game reserve , Timbavati game reserve and Umbabat game reserve , they form the APNR ( Associated Private Game Reserves ). These reserves have no internal fences with each other and are also an open , unfenced system with Kruger Park on Kruger's Western boundary ,which is beneficial to all of them.

Kruger is open on its 100 mile North Eastern boundary with Mozambique creating a cross frontier park. This complete system is in excess of 6 000 000 acres in size.

The APNR does have a fence on its Western boundary which is also the western boundary of this complete reserve system.

There are mostly high fenced game ranches that border onto this western fence , hence calling themselves Greater Kruger region hunting areas ( although high fence enclosed and not inside Greater Kruger open reserve system )

I hope this clarifies things. Any more questions are welcome by e mail or on the forum.

I have only 2 of these free roam Buffalo hunts left .


Happy hunting

Thank you. This gives a good visual. I guess I should learn how to post pictures...

Please note the following: Balule is actually the reserve bordering on the north west of Ti (Timbavati and Klaserie reserves )
Thorny bush and Kapama are not part of this open system and are fenced off.
The 2 blocks on the north west are not included in the open system and fenced off.

Happy hunting

To correct the map (Shocking that a booking website would have the original map wrong)

So, Balule is now in a RED block.?

Jan,

Hope you are well, it was good to see you at the shows this year.
