We offer hunting in the vast grasslands and savannah bushveld of South Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania. The majority of our hunting is done in the Limpopo province, an area known as the hunting capital of South Africa. A truly indigenous locale the Limpopo Province is a panorama of breathtaking scenery from mountains and forests to bush and this means an abundance of large buck. Come and truly experience the intimate wonders of fauna and flora of these regions.
ACCOMMODATION
Accommodation on our Hunting Safaris is truly African, rustic yet luxurious. We offer accommodation at a variety of camps depending on the area we are in. If you are looking for the true-grit experience of the bushveld then you can book a tented camping safari and enjoy your nights under the Africa stars to the symphony of the bush.
Visitors bringing firearms into South Africa for hunting purposes, will be asked to fill in a SAPS 520 – Temporary Import Application which is available from your outfitter, can be downloaded off the SAPS Website at www.saps.gov.za or by clicking here. Alternatively it can be completed on arrival. We would strongly suggest filling in the form beforehand with the assistance of your hunting outfitter to ensure it is completed correctly and to save the processing time at the Police Office for yourself and the Police. IMPORTANT!! To find out the other requirements that must be met along with the SAPS 520 please click here.
TAXIDERMY
At your request our personally recommended, professional taxidermists will make your trophies come alive for you to take home, creating lasting reminders of a dream come true!
We advise the use of South African taxidermists as they are exceptionally good at mounting the species of Africa. They have all the correct moulds and experience to perform a fine job and do so at a reduced rate. Usually, even after crating and shipment, South African taxidermists are 20-30% cheaper, this is especially true for international visitors as the Rand exchange rate to the US Dollar or Euro always works in the hunter's favour . Export permits are not required for finished trophies, except for CITES listed species. Obtaining a CITES export permit is a simple procedure.
Taxidermy can take from 6 months up to a year to complete but it well worth the wait. An added benefit is that our local taxidermists have easy access to additional skins at a nominal fee should your skins be damaged.
Africa Wild Safaris has a long-standing partnership with George Nell & Son Taxidermists and they provide a highly professional and excellent service. Don’t be disappointed, use the best!
