Accommodation
It is virtually impossible to describe a " typical hunting camp", as they differ from area
to area and game ranch to game ranch. However one thing to
bear in mind is that all of our camps stand up to the most
stringent scrutiny, both by us and by the nature conservation
authorities, and all of our camps are kept to this standard.
Generally speaking our facilities are on a par with that offered
in the rest of the world.

Planning
Each safari is individually planned to meet the requirements
of each hunting client, and each client is accompanied by
a professional hunter and the necessary field staff, so
as to ensure the best possible care and attention as well
as a high standard of excellence. Observers are more than
welcome, but are not permitted to hunt. As the hunting of
trophies may take place in various area, some traveling
may be included, and as such, depending on the areas and
species required, hunting time will be allocated accordingly,
so as to ensure the maximum chance of success
