Truly said that trophies are not dead animals, but living memories.
Trophies serve not only as proof of opportunity,
but they call up the fondest of memories of daring,
hardship, good friends and the smell of
wood smoke from a campfire.

Africa Safari Package #3 offers an exclusive and authentic African Safari. Consider the following unsurpassed benefits: 

  • 14’000 hectares of unspoiled African Bush – all under one fence

  • The exclusive use of one of the biggest privately owned hunting ranches in the Limpopo province

  • A Safari free of Malaria and other tropical diseases

  • A choice between three graded four-star luxury lodges

  • A choice to hunt more than 15 species of game on the reserve

  • We don’t chase numbers and only take in limited clientele

  • There are no hunting concessions – your whole safari takes place on a single reserve.

  • No boring and time/money consuming trips to concession areas

  • A Professional electronic Clay Pigeon Track and 100 meter CCTV shooting range – floodlit for use at night

  • A wide choice of other activities at your disposal – Day Spa, Boat trips on the mighty Limpopo River, Quad Bikes, Horse riding, and more.

ABOUT THIS HUNTING OUTFITTER:

  • This Safari is offered by the hunting outfitter division of a privately owned game reserve situated in the great Limpopo River Valley, on the border between South Africa and Botswana.

  • The operation is headed by a well known professional outfitter, assisted by three full-time Professional Hunters [PH] and a multitude of specially equipped hunting vehicles, game Trackers, Skinners, administrative staff and lodge staff.

  • As they only accept limited clientele, the reserve is self sufficient of trophy animals. They have some 4000 animals on the reserve. You are therefore not only guaranteed above average trophies, but also a safari where game is not over hunted to such an extend that they are bewildered and skittish. This is truly a natural environment.

  • Unlike with unfamiliar hunting concessions – on which safaris are often scheduled - we live in the reserve 24/7 and know the land like the palm of our hands.

  • We are in unison with nature - we analyse the habits, territories and roaming areas of our game day in and day out and know where the real trophies hide.

LOCATION:

  • These Safaris are situated in the Limpopo River Valley, in the northern part of South Africa – the Great North!

  • A scenic route by car takes only four hours from Johannesburg.

  • Flying in with a small plane takes 50 minutes. Arrival is on a private strip on the reserve.

  • The Safaris are in a malaria-free area of the bushveld near the town of Ellisras [Lephalale] and forms part of the greater Waterberg Savannah Biosphere, an area more than 3 million years old.

  • A harsh and rewarding area of startling beauty, it is rich in indigenous species of plant and animal life.

  • The reserve borders with the renowned Tuli Block, Botswana.

  • This area is untamed Africa at its finest.

  • The land of wide open bushveld, big skies and the ever present thorn tree.

ACCOMMODATIONS:

These Safaris cater for a ‘Gentleman’s Safari’ with three up-market lodges to choose from. All the lodges have been graded to a four-star level by the South African Grading Council and generally offer the following:

  • Fully serviced and private 4-star lodging

  • En-suite twin rooms

  • All rooms fully air-conditioned

  • Dining room, Lounge and thatched lounge areas

  • Full bar service, including traditional estate wines

  • Swimming pool

  • Personal Chef to ensure your preferences

  • 5-star cuisine and traditional South African food

  • DSTV, DVD and video facilities

  • Dedicated room and lodge staff

  • Laundry services

 

Luxury Accommodation Options:

  • Leopard’s Rest Luxury lodge [8 beds] is a remote up-market lodge situated deep inside the reserve at the foothills of Witkop under huge Marula trees. It offers a cluster of four up-market chalets, all en-suite and air-conditioned. Guests can relax in the formal lounge, summer Lapa, dining area and swimming pool.

  • The wilderness experience is quite superb with much on offer; hunting safaris, bush walks, bird watching expeditions and Limpopo River cruises; game drives on open safari vehicles are laid on for accompanying guests.

  • Twin River Lodge [14 beds], offers luxury and a pleasant setting at the confluence of the perennial Mogolo and mighty Limpopo Rivers. Guests are accommodated in three thatched, air-conditioned chalets (each with en-suite bathrooms) and a four bed-roomed guest house with private lounge.

  • Central amenities include an elevated thatched deck with lounge and bar, dining area and pool. Bird life is outstanding. A large dam 300 meters from camp boasts with an array of 13 fish species and resident hippo.

  • Babala Lodge [9 beds] is located right across the Botswana Tuli Block on the Limpopo River. This intimate up-market lodge offers stylish living in five en-suite chalets - all with air-conditioning. The panoramic views over the forest and a secluded water hole are superb. One of the camp’s special features is the raised lounge and bar complex situated under large Leadwood, Ana and Acacia trees, overlooking the Limpopo River flood plain.

    Apart from hunting, safari activities revolve around the area’s magnificent scenery, photographic safaris, game- and bird watching, and its spectacular beauty.
