Hunting Conditions
Wooded Sandveld Savannah
The terrain can best be described as wooded sandveld savannah with patches of Mopani and acacia veld. These are areas that consist of dense brush where species like Suni and Nyala occur. This diversity of habitat accommodates a large variety of species ranging from elephant and predators to pigmy antelopes like Sharpe’s Grysbuck. The average elevation is approximately 380m above sea level. There are also several natural pans in the area which attract game where we have established boreholes/wells to supplement them during the dry season. Due to the size the hunting party will normally begin hunting early morning. Typically the vehicle is used to locate fresh spoor along the roads or at a waterhole, from where the hunting party will track the animals on foot. Comfortable walking can be expected as the terrain is reasonably flat. One must be prepared to walk several miles per day in pursuit of your trophy, particularly in the case of buffalo and elephant. Wherever possible, lone bulls and bull groups are tracked, preferring to leave herd animals undisturbed.
