HUNTING
SOUTH AFRICA
The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa, for he has so much to look forward to - Richard Mullin
When joining Big Game Africa on safari in South Africa you will be introduced to our pristine hunting areas offering you a diversity of landscapes and scenery ranging from Limpopo Valley bushveld and riverines, Mopani forests of the northern lowveld, open savannah plains in the Free State and the world renown Kalahari region.
Each of our hunting areas hosts its own unique echo system ensuring a diversity of wildlife inhabitant to the area. This diversity of hunting areas across South Africa allows for over 40 different huntable species to choose from.
Our hunting concessions are privately owned game ranches where wildlife management and selective hunting is the main priority which allows wildlife populations to be self sustainable and thriving. This practice of wildlife management and conservation through selective hunting ensures the preservation of gene pools and subsequent harvesting of top quality trophies yearly.
