Southern cape venomous snakes last of sept?

[johnnybow]

What's the snake situation that time of year? I hear they are out and about? Anything to worry about? Thanks

You might see a snake but it won’t be a daily occurrence. I think I’ve done 15 safaris including early and late season hunts. I can still count the total snakes I’ve seen on my fingers.

you never know, my first hunt I had 2 Puff Adders within 6 inches of my foot. did not know anything about them until my PH was able to get them to move. next 2 trips I was spending to much time watching out for them, did not see anymore but did see a Spitting Cobra, I do not like snakes

1. They are beginning to move about more .
2. Yes they are.
3. Not really. Ask the Outfitter what might be out and about on the property you are hunting.

I am not a venomous snake lover and I can find more Scorpions and Leopards than I have ever seen snakes. I also don't go when it is warm out. So, ....

Good luck.

In the Kalahari I saw both spitting cobras and puff adders in early August.

But that's quite a bit farther north.

Do most hunters wear gators or snake boots? I’m of the ‘better safe than sorry’ crowd.

Haven´t seen anybody wear them, we all wear the low gaiters.

Anyhow, they might help with a Puff Adder, but will be useless against a Black Mamba or any of the Cobras.
