Experience a 7-day Cape Buffalo hunting safari in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, combining professionally guided big-game hunting with full-board accommodation in a 5-star lodge. The Cape Buffalo Trophy Hunt package includes one Cape Buffalo trophy, with the corresponding trophy fee already included in the package price. The experience is offered in different trophy-size categories, according to the selected package option.
The package includes 7 days of full-board accommodation, pick-up and drop-off at Port Elizabeth Airport, hunting licence, 1:1 guided hunting with a registered and experienced Professional Hunter, rifle and ammunition for the booked package, daily housekeeping and laundry service, as well as raw trophy preparation and delivery to a local taxidermist. Due to limited annual availability, Cape Buffalo hunts must be booked in advance. Hunters wishing to further personalise their safari may add additional trophy animals according to the applicable trophy price list.
A wide range of species is available, including Warthog, Waterbuck, Nyala, Sable, Giraffe, Red Hartebeest, Springbok, Roan and several other African game species. Trophy fees for additional animals include raw trophy preparation, including skinning and salting, as well as transfer to the local taxidermist. Most additional species can be selected during the stay.
Sable and any additional Cape Buffalo must, however, be booked in advance due to limited annual availability. Certain species are subject to specific conditions: the Blue Duiker trophy fee excludes the required TOPS permit; Cape Buffalo from 43 inches and above and Oribi are priced on agreement; while White Rhino is available according to a separate special price list on request. Several additional activities are also available during the stay.
A night-hunting trip can be booked on site for €250 per trip, with the applicable trophy fees charged separately according to the trophy price list. Night hunting may include nocturnal species such as jackal, genet, caracal, porcupine and hare. A bird-hunting day for ducks, geese and guinea fowl is available for €400 per hunter per day, bookable only on site; firearm and ammunition costs are not included.
Guests may also add a full-day deep-sea fishing trip in Port Elizabeth for €1,000 per day, including fishing equipment and bait, full catering and professional guiding, subject to weather and seasonal conditions. The package price does not include international or domestic flights to and from South Africa, personal expenses and travel insurance, rifle and ammunition for additional trophy hunts, additional trophy fees, tips for staff and the Professional Hunter, excursions and entrance fees, taxidermy, or transport and shipment of trophies to the hunter’s home country.
