South Africa Eastern Cape Free-Range

This area offers an incredible array of habitats and with that amazing species diversity. Within one hour drive one can hunt high altitude mountain grassland, coastal forests, karoo semi-desert plains, accacia savanna, and subtropical thicket. The style of hunting is walk and stalk. The rolling hills and mountains in some areas allows for good glassing and long stalks. It is a style of hunting that attracts hunters back year after year. The Eastern Cape also offers some unique experiences such as hunting caracal over hounds or driven blue duiker in the thick coastal forests. This area is primarily a plainsgame area. The style of hunting, variety of species and value for money make it an ideal area for a “first timer” to Africa.

Free range (low fence) safaris are difficult to find in South Africa and are in high demand! This outfitter’s family settled the Eastern Cape near Grahamstown over 200 years ago and started a sheep ranching business on now what was some of the best free range plains game hunting ground South Africa as to offer. Clients are lodged in comfortable wooden cabins near the farmhouse, right next to the swimming pool! The lodge is situated high up in the terrain with spectacular views of the surrounding hunting area and the Eastern Cape Mountains. All hunts include meals, drinks, accommodations, free airport transfers from Port Elizabeth, and the 15% VAT. Side trips are available to Addo Elephant park and this outfitter contracts out for specialty species such as blue duiker and caracal. You will not find a better bang for your buck when it comes to quality, affordable free-range hunting in South Africa.
