Whether you’re a bow or rifle hunter, the Bushveld will always be one of the most iconic African hunting destinations. Its breathtaking landscape, with its red sand, tall grass, acacia trees and various animals grazing, will all become a permanent imprint in your memories. African Barefoot Safaris offers endless hunting options. You can hunt many plains game species, big game, dangerous game, critters, birds and even add some night hunting.

They pride themselves in hunting top quality animals. The team of professional hunters are extremely knowledgeable and enjoy sharing in your entire safari experience. Whether hosting clients for a plains game hunt or dangerous game, they are equally invested. They offer specialised hunts and colour variants on many of the plains game species. The springbuck, Impala or Wildebeest slam is always a very challenging hunt, but extremely satisfying to have under your belt. The spiral horn slam includes Bushbuck, Nyala, Kudu and Eland. These are some of the most amazing trophies available.

Hunting Area

Bow hunters have the privilege to hunt on a bow-hunt-only property that has been operated as such, since the 80’s. Hunting from a blind with a bow will give you nearly a 100% success rate.

Typically bow hunters will get up around 7am and shoot some arrows before breakfast. A full hot breakfast is served around 8 am, after which clients are dropped at the blinds. Each client will receive a lunch pack, water, soda and a radio. Clients take their own hunting gear and camera equipment. The animals are usually very active as soon as it starts to warm up between 9am and 11am. After an animal has been shot, it is called in to the recovery team. The professional hunter, trackers (and in some cases tracking dogs) help with recovery.
