Your First African Hunting Safari in South Africa
Start with clear answers on cost, animals, rifles, travel, observers, accommodation, airport pickup and trophy planning.
A personal introduction to hunting Africa.
A first African safari involves more than choosing animals. Flights, airport pickup, firearm arrangements, clothing, observer plans, trophy care and the final quotation all need to be understood before departure.
Gerhard communicates directly with each client and hosts one group in camp at a time. That private format allows first-time hunters to ask questions, move at a comfortable pace and prepare for each day with their Professional Hunter.
Begin with a published plains-game package or use the Safari Builder. Popular first-safari choices include kudu, impala, blue wildebeest, warthog, zebra, gemsbuck and blesbuck, subject to availability.
