If you want to hunt with a reputable hunting outfitter in Africa and are looking for an authentic hunt, visit BigGameHuntingAdventures.com. I’ll set you up with an outstanding hunting safari in the northwest portion of South Africa’s Limpopo Province where you’ll get the incredible experience of a classic safari on foot in the South African bushveld with a top notch outfitter, professional hunter, and trackers. This hunting area is located in one of the least developed areas left in southern Africa and is home to 4 of the Big 5 (buffalo, lion, leopard, and elephant) as well as other iconic African species like hippo and giraffe. It also a reasonable drive from Johannesburg, but still has that “wild Africa” feel to it that you don’t find many other places on the continent.
In addition to having outstanding fair chase hunting for plains game animals like kudu, nyala, waterbuck, blue wildebeest, bushbuck, impala, zebra, sable warthog, duiker, and bushpig there, that area also has excellent cape buffalo hunting. We can also set up a trip to Kruger National Park after your hunt. This is where you need to go for the hunting experience of a lifetime.
