We recommend that all our clients bring their own rifles and shotguns, with which they are familiar and comfortable. One of the most important aspects of a successful safari is good shooting. We urge everyone to practice their shooting as much as possible prior to their safari. It is vital that each individual is comfortable with his/her firearm and knows how it performs. It is important to bear in mind that long range shooting will be required for various plains game species. It is therefore imperative for hunters to be comfortable shooting from all positions, and especially with shooting off a tripod (shooting sticks) at distances of up to 300 yards.
Recommended Calibers:
Shotguns:
12 gauge shotguns are best, especially for our duck and geese. However, a well-handled 20 gauge will get the desired results.
Shotguns must be single shot (S/S), double barreled (D/B) or over and unders (O/U).
Pump actions and semi-automated are illegal for hunting birds in South Africa.
Rifles:
The rifles are all well suited for all the plains game species.
A minimum of a .375 H & H Magnum is required for the dangerous game species.
