First safari - SA

[JPNW]

Hello everyone!

Hoping for assistance. Looking to book my first safari. Looking at SA. Myself hunting and my fiancè as observer. We're from the UK!

I would like to look at a complete package with no hiddden costs. Some non hunting options / photo safari. We're a young couple so although a trip of a lifetime we do have a budget.

Looking at 7-10 day trip depending on cost.

Rifle hire for hunting as im not planning on bringing my own rifles for my first safari, feel this might ease the travel of getting to somewhere without that stress.

Species - not looking for huges trophies, more keen on stalking in thick bush and getting as close as possible. Plenty of walking / stalking.

Kudu, buffalo cow, Wildebeest, Impala - again all depending on cost could lose animals off the list. Happy to look at other species as well. Not bound to those specifically.

In terms of taxidermy - depending on cost would just want the skulls for mounting and would like to discuss this as might not be possible if too expensive. Would love to discuss this with outfitter as not entirely sure how it works.

Time of year - looking at 2027. Happy for you advice on best times. Weather wise as never been before would take experts advice.

Please DM me and happy to discuss with outfitters over email!

Any advice welcome!

Thanks

James

Dear Sir
I have a thread running here called "South Africas best kept secret". It covers an area we hunt in North Limpopo, I do believe it fits the description perfectly as you described for your first Hunt.
Please feel free to email me. info@spearsafaris.com

Hi James!

We offer a private couple safari with complete exclusivity and we specialize in free-range Kudu hunting.

I send you a DM on what you are looking for.

Kind Regards

 

[Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS]

Hi James,
We offer fully inclusive packages with no hidden costs and can certainly look at a cull package to keep things within budget. We do have rifles to hire.

For days when you're not hunting, we can arrange game drives, bird watching, bushveld dinners and a day trip to our nearby national park.

We have a hunter from the UK hunting with us for the past few years, returning every season. We'd be happy to put you in touch with him if you'd like a reference from someone who has travelled from the UK and hunted with us.

If you're interested, we are happy to put together a package that suits you both.
DM Sent.

Regards

Very fun, very safe, very clean. Good luck!
