Finding Wild Africa

[curtism1234]

Bear bait, we have a camp that forms part of the Greater Kruger. You will hear and see these animals. We do not hunt inside this area anymore, but we can stay in the camp for the experience and hunt just outside of it, once all your desired species have been taken, we can just drive or walk around the area and enjoy the Big 5. If this interests you, please contact me on info@spearsafaris.com
Cheers Ernest

Nice offers from all the outfitters here. I do think Spear offers what you are looking for (though maybe not while hunting), with the easiest way of getting to Africa via Johannesburg, and they would be a very fair price. Very hard to beat for a 1st time with the Big 5 requests

Coutada 9 with Mokore Safaris in Mozambique offers excellent free range PG hunting with buffalo, leopard, elephant and plenty of lions lurking around. I had lions outside my hut almost every night which made for some interesting sleeping at times. A lion roaring is the loudest animal noise in nature. You can feel the reverberations in your chest when lions are very close - like when you’re at a drag race and the cars come racing by you. We also saw lions while hunting PG. They have several 50”+ kudu running around, large reedbuck, giant warthogs, and large specimens of several other PG species to hunt for daily rates around $750 per day plus trophy fees. You can also pay a bit higher daily rate and hunt sable and nyala. All these animals are truly wild with no fences.

As mentioned earlier, the Save Valley Conservancy would also work for what you’re looking for. By chance, Mokore Safaris also has an area there. The Duckworth family is one of the most respected safari operators in Africa, even featured on the Discovery Channel, and you can read lots of hunting reports on AH about members’ safaris with them. There are also several other operators in Africa who can cater to what you want and some are sponsors here on AH. Good luck to you!

Consider South Africa’s Limpopo Province or Namibia’s Zambezi Region. Both offer classic plains game like kudu, warthog, and oryx, with the added bonus of being in areas where Big Five species, wild dogs, hyenas, and hippos are present. You may not see them all, but you’ll likely hear or see signs of them, adding to the experience. These regions offer a great mix of hunting opportunity and true African wilderness atmosphere.
