Looking for a Safari in the KwaZulu-Natal Area

[Noah Hutchens]

I just got back from my first African Safari in the Limpopo and now I am starting the process into looking for my next safari destination for a 2027 hunt. I believe I have narrowed it down to the KwaZulu-Natal area. I am looking for a Free Range or must be a very large property safari where I would want to do most of the hunting on foot. On my previous trip I managed to hunt Springbok, Impala, Blesbok, Warthog, Zebra and a Giraffe. I am looking for 7-10 hunting days and am flexible on dates at this moment.

This hunt I would like property that has a high chance to hunt the following trophies at a reasonable price:

Kudu over 52"
Nyala
Blue or Black Wildebeest
Red Hartebeest
large Warthog
Gemsbuck
Cull/non trophy male/Female Cape buffalo
Possibly a non trophy/discounted cull giraffe
Possibly a non trophy/discounted cull Zebra

I would also be very interested in some of the night creatures such as the Genet, Civet, Caracal, Jackal and Porcupine

Pickup/Transfer from Johannesburg is extremely preferred.

Some possible excursions for a potential companion would be preferred.

If any Lodge/Outfitter could message me and put together a discounted package that included some of the animals above I would be very appreciative.

@MPETI SAFARIS OUTFITTER is a sponsor and they are based in KZN.

Never hunted with them but seem like a great option.

I hunted with Conrad and his team in September of last year. Fabulous hunting, great experience. Took my first Buffalo with them, and I will return for another!

I hunted the KZN with Boela Bekker Safaris last year! It was awesome! Boela will bend over backwards to get you on the animals you are after. I highly recommend looking him up

I hunted with Conrad last June. Great folks and a fantastic hunt!

Check in with Johnathon Morris Beastandbirdafrica@gmail.com

He has giant Nyala up that way. I’m going with him soon to hunt there. Has everything you want on your list. He’s the most personable and HONEST ph and outfitter I’ve hunted with on 10 safaris in ZA. Feel free to contact me as well.

I would highly recommend Boela Bekker Safaris. https://www.boelasafaris.co.za/

I’ve hunted with Boela several times and honestly don’t think you’ll find a better PH to hunt with.
I’ve personally taken many of the species you mentioned with him, including night hunts, and every trip has been nothing but a great experience.
The quality of the trophies are excellent, and the biggest thing for me is that he is honest, upfront, and completely straightforward. There’s never been hidden fees, and no extra charges just because my trophies are gold medal quality.
He runs a very transparent operation and is the kind of PH who will become one of your best friends by the end of the hunt.
