Want a First time African Hunt (Cull Animals+one or two trophies)

[Noah Hutchens]

Hello, I am finally in a financial position where I think I can afford my first African Hunt. I would like to have around a 7 day hunt(not set in stone). Although I am in a good financial situation where I can afford to travel and hunt I still need to be budget conscious especially since it’s my first time. I am mainly looking for a package where I could hunt a variety of cheaper Cull animals to get my first taste and then try to target a trophy animal or possibly two(mainly considering a Kudu or Giraffe). Still undecided with who is all coming, I am married and have two young kids that might make the journey and go on a sightseeing safari(if there was a way to arrange that through wherever I hunted that would be preferred) or could possibly just be Me and my father as a non hunter to spectate. Not dead set on where the hunt has to do just reasonably to get to and reasonable prices. If any outfitter or PH has a package that is similar to this or could be made similar to this please private message me! Open on dates, April 2026 would be a choice if it’s not too late for that or could do something later in the year I’m pretty open.

Thank you! I have been reading articles on here for years mostly on the rifle sections as I am avid rifle collector who has too many rifles to choose from to bring to Africa now lol.

Good day AH,

As the season draws to a close each year, we always find ourselves doing a great deal of game management on our own. This time around, we thought — why not turn all that hard work into something enjoyable and rewarding? So, instead of us doing all the heavy lifting, we saw a wonderful opportunity to invite our clients to join us for a fun and purposeful hunt — a chance to cull some animals on a large reserve while enjoying the experience together.

Accommodation will be off-site, just a comfortable 30-minute drive each morning. The lodge itself is absolutely lovely, with all...

Thread '2026 Cull Hunt Packages - KMG Hunting Safaris'

Dear Members,
We have been asked to remove some Black Wildebeest Females as well as Blesbuck from one of our hunting areas. It is a very large tract with some beautiful terrain. This hunt can be combined with a trophy hunt as well, so please feel free to drop us a message if you are interested in setting up a hunt as such.
For now, we will offer the hunt as a cull package and you are welcome to adjust as you feel. Hunt will be be conducted with spot and stalk as well as driven hunt methods. I suspect that it should take around 3 days or so to complete the cull part of the hunt. There are...

Welcome to the club, deciding which rifles to bring is one of those decisions that are part of the process of getting your feet on the ground in Africa for the first time. There are some great outfitters here on AH that will be able to make your hunt a reality.

outstanding value from KMG!!!!

What you’re describing is actually a really smart way to do it. A cull + 1–2 trophy combo is perfect for a first hunt. Cull animals let you get comfortable with the pace, the shooting sticks, the terrain, etc., and then you can focus on something special like a kudu once you’ve settled in.
South Africa is probably the easiest/logistically simplest option for a first trip, especially if your wife and kids might come along. A lot of outfitters can arrange photo safaris or sightseeing add-ons, and they’re used to non-hunting observers.
