Discover the ultimate hunting adventure in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, where vast open plains meet the endless African sky. Our Karoo hunting experience offers a wide variety of plains game in a landscape defined by tranquillity, space, and natural beauty. This is more than just a hunt—it’s a deep connection to nature, rooted in conservation and respect for the land.

Evenings are something special—gather around crackling fires and enjoy gourmet dinners featuring local dishes, fine wines, tender venison, and homemade desserts. It’s more than just a stay—it’s an experience that blends comfort, flavour, and the magic of the Karoo
A Private Wilderness in the Heart of the Great Karoo
Our hunting grounds are set on privately owned land, offering exclusive access to one of the most breath-taking landscapes in South Africa—the vast and timeless Karoo. Here, wildlife roams freely in its natural habitat, from the smallest steenbokkie to Africa’s largest antelope, the majestic Cape eland.
The plains are alive with thriving populations of kudu, black wildebeest, gemsbok, blesbuck, zebra, red hartebeest, springbuck, and lechwe. This is true wilderness, where nature remains untouched and the experience is as authentic as it gets.
At the heart of our mission is ethical hunting—guided by carefully calculated, minimal annual quotas to ensure the long-term health of wildlife populations.This approach supports the effective management and protection of our habitats, creating a sanctuary where diverse, free-roaming species thrive.
Our deep-rooted love for the Eastern Cape drives us to promote sustainable practices that not only benefit the environment but also uplift local communities. With an abundance of game and a commitment to preserving species for future generations, we recognise the vital role responsible hunters play in conservation efforts.
Every adventure with us becomes part of a larger purpose: protecting what we cherish for those yet to come.
Conservation through Responsible Hunting
We believe that ethical hunting is one of the most effective forms of conservation today. By creating sustainable value for wildlife, responsible hunting supports habitat protection, population management, and local communities. Our practices are rooted in respect for nature, ensuring that future generations can experience the same thriving landscapes and healthy game populations we cherish today.
Hunting isn’t just a goal—it’s a way to actively support the conservation of wildlife and the protection of the natural habitats we all depend on.
Experience the thrill of the chase and a deep connection with nature through fair-chase hunting. Our walk-and-stalk method honours tradition while supporting ecological balance. Each year, we carefully set sustainable harvest quotas based on carrying capacity, stocking densities, predator-prey ratios, and rainfall patterns—ensuring responsible wildlife management and long-term conservation.
