Yes they are. The S Yes they are. The South African government gave us 2 years to exit the industry. They never gave any specific dates but in broad terms 2024 will be the first year and 2025 will be the second ( and final ) year you will be able to hunt lions.

To all our previous clients. Thank you for the kind words. It is much appreciated. Sincerely Hans de Klerk

We have also done a few handgun hunts in the past. With over 6 000 head of game there is plenty of opportunities for walk and stalk. Vegetation is savannah with some areas of thick bush so lots of cover to get real close. If our bow hunters can get close enough with walk and stalk we can get a...

Karl is a great outfitter. My son worked for him for a few months to gain experience in dangerous game. He runs a fantastic operation. Somebody will have a great hunt. I am almost tempted to book the hunt for myself.

Hello Nutterman Welcome to the site. Lots of information here and it can certainly be overwhelming. We are a family run operation and only book one safari at a time. We believe in personal attention and clients have an exclusive experience with us. We have a very large privately owned game...

Hello Letzhunt In 2016 the US Fish and Wildlife service shut down the importation of lion trophies. The same thing happened with polar bear, brown hyena, bontebok, etc. where the American officials think they know more about conservation than what Canadian and South African governments know. The...

Your guess is as good as ours. Our dear minister of Nature Confusion (Barbara Greecy) has not announced a time line, which is typical of our incompetent government who makes laws but do not think of the consequences and / or how to implement it. My guess is if they say we have 2 years to exit...

So what we feared for a long time is finally becoming real. See attached below. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-03-30-cabinet-approves-end-to-captive-breeding-of-lions-and-rhinos/ Sincerely Hans de Klerk

We hunt several 57 to 62 inch kudu in our area (Northwest province South Africa against Botswana border). We have several free range areas in addition to our own privately owned game reserve. If you book 7 days between 1 May and 15 June (when most kudu are in rut) and just focus on kudu and...

Hello Sir During the last year or so game prices in South Africa have shot through the roof. Game prices at the game auctions are much higher than the hunting prices so smaller ranches that tend to buy in game every few weeks to hunt them in the following weeks cannot financially afford it any...

Welcome to AH. I still remember the first buck (blesbuck) my son hunted when he was 7. I guided him myself and he still talks about it today and he is 24 now. So keep working on those memories with your son. We do have father and son package hunts starting at $5 000 (7 days) with 4 animals...
