FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What should I pack for an Eastern Cape hunt?
Lightweight layers, broken-in boots, neutral colors, a warm jacket for mornings/evenings, cap/beanie, sunscreen, and personal meds. We provide shooting rests and radios.
How difficult is the terrain?
Mixed terrain: open grasslands, thornveld and rocky slopes. Most stalks are moderate; we tailor the pace to your fitness level.
What are the typical shot distances?
For walk-and-stalk hunting, typical shots range from 80–300 yards, depending on terrain and vegetation. For long-range shooting, distances can vary from 300 to 1,000 yards, depending on the hunter’s skill level. All rifles—whether your own or rented—will be checked and zeroed before hunting begins to ensure accuracy and safety.
Do you offer rifle rental?
Yes, we do. For hunters who prefer not to bring their own firearm, we provide well-maintained, clean rifles equipped with top-quality scopes, suitable for both plains game and dangerous game. All rental rifles are sighted in beforehand and paired with high-quality ammunition, ensuring you are ready for a safe and successful hunt.
What about special dietary needs?
We can accommodate most requirements (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.). Please let us know ahead of time.
When is the best time to visit?
Peak months are April–September for cool, dry hunting conditions. Summer hunts are available on request.
What happens to the meat from the animal you hunted?
All meat is fully utilized. We use as much as possible at the lodge to feed our clients, staff, and extended family—over 40 mouths in total. Nothing goes to waste; everything from prime cuts to organs is used responsibly and respectfully
