Combined our private land and concessions offer over 45 species of African animals to hunt.

GETAWAY TO AFRICA

Our “ Getaway to Africa ” Hunting Show on the Sportsman Channel is a huge success and we regularly film new episodes in Namibia and South Africa. If you interested in being on the show feel free to contact us for more information.

Here is a short introduction to the show.

“In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The excellent people who protest against all hunting, and consider sportsmen as enemies of wildlife, are ignorant of the fact that in reality the genuine sportsman is by all odds the most important factor in keeping the larger and more valuable wild creatures from total extermination.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Testimonials

Dennis limron.

" Trophies of a lifetime thanks to Smith and Wesson and Africa Hunt Lodge. I recently took two of the big-five and two other possible world class trophies with my model 500, 50 cal. Smith and Wesson pistol while hunting with Africa Hunt Lodge near Thabazimbi, S.A. with professional hunters Ewald Ras and Bossie Boshoff. The Cape buffalo fell within 25 yards after only one shot. The gemsbok and waterbuck also required only one shot and fell within site. After over 5000 rounds this gun still performs flawlessly. I hope to return soon to complete the big-five with my Smith and Wesson."

Kristopher Sadeck

"My name is Kristofer Sadeck. I just wanted to express my appreciation to the Africa Hunt Lodge staff and to professional hunter Wikus Stemmet for fulfilling my longtime dream safari on September 22, 2021 to September 30, 2021. The hunting safari experience, the food, the staff and accommodations were world class! The communication upon booking, pickup/drop off from Johannesburg International Airport was flawless!! During my safari I have harvested a monster giraffe, a gemsbok oryx, a golden wildebeest and a common impala!! In addition, I experienced high volume dove hunting in the agriculture fields!! I was fortunate enough to harvest many doves!!! My experience with Africa Hunt Lodge was just miraculous!!!! On a daily basis, I look at the photo albums and travel books that I created from my safari experience. Many of my family members and friends are fascinated by the animals that I harvested!! Next, thank you for celebrating my 30th birthday at the lodge. The cake that was made specially for me was delicious and astonishing!!! Being at Africa Hunt Lodge was my most treasured gift! In the coming years I will return and go on another safari with this outfitter to hunt the cape buffalo!! Thank you, Africa Hunt Lodge, for fulfilling my dream safari!!"

Thank you, Africa Hunt Lodge, for fulfilling my dream safari!!"

Larry Organ

" Africa Hunt Lodge is the real deal. I just returned from a 5-day hunt and can't say enough positive about the experience. Ewald and his crew at the guest house were friendly and accommodating. The highlight of my trip was my Professional Hunter, Bossie Boshoff. He's exceptionally knowledgeable and safe, and provided invaluable guidance for me, a novice hunter. Looking forward to my next trip back."
