Plains game hunting in Africa is more popular than all the other types of local hunting combined. South Africa’s abundance and variety of animals make it a plains game hunting paradise. There are over 40 plains game antelope species, carnivores and other creatures that can be hunted.
Plains game hunting is offered in our home area, the Eastern Cape. Hunters are accommodated at Karoo Wild Lodge, in the heart of our hunting area. This is kudu hunting country, our area boasting the highest kudu density in Africa.
We also operate a lodge in Limpopo Province. This concession is at the foothills of the Soutpansberg Mountain Range and is well located to hunt species unique to Limpopo - Sharpe's Grysbok, Red Duiker, Limpopo Bushbuck, Spotted Hyena, Brown Hyena and Serval to name a few.
What is plains game?
It is thought that term plains game was first used by big game hunters and white hunters that hunted Africa in the early 1800's. They were mostly interested in big game; elephant, buffalo and rhino. All the antelope and other game were called "plain" as in ordinary. The term "plains game" doesn't refer to animals that occur on open plains.
How much is a plains game hunt in Africa?
It's often perceived that hunting in Africa is only for the wealthy. This is a myth; a plains game hunt in South Africa for multiple species is more affordable than booking a guided elk hunt in many areas of North America. Plains game hunting packages are available for as little as $4700 all inclusive.
