South African Hunting Overview

South-African Hunting at its best. Come and join South-Africa’s Finest Outfitter.

It is once again time to reflect on the past hunting season of 2009 and look at what the 2010 season will hold for us. We are very satisfied with the success we had in 2009 and under the severe economic downscale we expected much worse. The 2010 season is shaping up to be very interesting as we have a new lion area opened up for the first time. We also managed to obtain limited tags for Elephant/Buffalo adjacent to Kruger Park and will inform you of the successes at the end of 2010.

As usual our prime Buffalo concession in the Klaseri Private Nature Reserve did not disappoint us and we managed to shoot some exceptional 42”+ bulls. We were successful in obtaining a tag for the first and only Rhino Bull in the past 5 years and took an exceptional 29” trophy. We will be able to offer our clientele the opportunity to take a limited amount of Elephant in this magnificent area as well. Elephant sizes are restricted to 40 pounds but the price will be very competitive and will make for a great hunt in an incredible area with a great lodge.

The hunting of Rhino still remains a very controversial issue due to the price escalation. We don’t see the prices coming down as expected and will keep you posted as to any changes at the end of the current 2009 season. The Dart Hunt (Green Hunt) of Rhino remains an option and is a great Conservation tool to be able to Micro Chip all the Rhino as the poaching of Rhino did increase and with the identification of the horns we hope to stem this tide. Please inquire for more info on our dart program.

Our Moketsi Estates area (Free State Province) is now in a position to offer a great lion hunt to our clientele. We did the first hunt for a monster Black Mained lion in April and we are happy to report that it was as exciting as what we anticipated. We are doing 7 more lion there this year and will keep you updated as to the progress on this new venture.

Our prime Leopard area in Namibia lived up to its reputation and we took 3 awesome Leopard and a great Lion (free-roaming) in the 2009 season. For any inquiries for the first openings in the 2011 season please get in touch with us.

To all our clients and friends that shared the 2009 season with S&S Safaris, thank you very much. You made it possible for us to provide you with these excellent areas and we are proud of each and every client's achievement. For some, it was the start of a very exciting journey, others came to the end of their journey by completing their Big Five or Dangerous Seven. To those who made it their first ever African Hunting experience, share in the idea that this was but, the first of many! The 2009/2010 season will be a real “tester” for us all as we do not foresee the worldwide economy returning to normal any time soon. To all the loyal S&S clients who supported us in the past and future, a big THANK YOU! Without you, we would not have been in a position to offer you the service we became known. Please contact us direct for all your hunting needs and requirements as we look forward to making you part of the S&S family.

We are in a changeover process to move the majority of our client administration over to our South-African office and invite you all too please get in touch with either myself (pierrec@icon.co.za) or Amanda (amandav@icon.co.za) or give us a call at 011-27-82-573-8766.
