Antelope Hunting in South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia
Hunting plains game is typically the first type of hunt that one engages in to begin familiarizing themselves with the extraordinary and harsh environment of Africa.
Tracking antelopes in a land of countless facets and contrasts, from the red earth of the bush to the banks of the Limpopo River in South Africa, from the Kalahari Desert to the Okavango River in Botswana, will be one of the most beautiful and thrilling experiences for a first approach to Southern Africa.
Programs of 5 days or more of hunting, to which you can add, if you wish, days of tourism to discover these magnificent countries and the natural beauty that distinguishes them.
You can admire in one of the most fascinating areas of Botswana, the Okavango Delta, where the river of the same name “dies” after a journey of over a thousand kilometers, creating a unique natural environment rich in fauna and flora.
In Namibia, you will find a wonderful creation of nature: the surreal landscape of Dead Vlei. The pitch-black trees stand out against the white clay, the orange of the world’s highest dunes, and the blue of the sky. The sight of this landscape provides an unforgettable emotion.
One of the most exciting attractions of Southern Africa is undoubtedly Kruger Park in South Africa, rich in legend and history, with its vast landscapes where you can admire the spectacular African wildlife.
An experience of hunting, and more, for those who want to test themselves, for those who are not afraid to let their hair down in the wind, and above all for those who are looking for new adventures, different from those they are used to.
Buffalo Hunting between Zimbabwe and Mozambique
In Zimbabwe and Mozambique, on the vast delta of the Zambezi River and far from the beaten paths, the search for adult male buffaloes, with their dark coats contrasting with the gray branches, disappearing and re-emerging in densely bushy areas, will certainly be a challenging endeavor.
Wading through the water-covered meadows of the delta after crossing woods of papyrus, reeds, and water lilies is an exciting experience, not without its surprises, and it evokes the “sweet perversion” of risk.
Approaching buffaloes must be slow and gradual, requiring a particular ability to blend in with the local vegetation: you must peer through dense thorny bushes, endure the agitation of hearing buffaloes move just a few meters away, catch glimpses of them among the gray branches, and finally, in absolute silence, as if nature itself were waiting, attempt the shot.
Both in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the effort will be alleviated by the beauty of the place, very varied, and by aperitifs with your companions on the riverbank.
Southern Africa will enchant you with the beauty and nuances of its pristine nature and an unparalleled hunting experience.
