One hour north of Port Elizabeth lies Sapkamma the plains game Mecca Of the Eastern Cape, known to have one of the heaviest concentrations of kudu in South Africa

With its rolling hills and many valleys it makes the walk and stalk hunt and interesting affair as you get a surprise in every valley you peep into.  The valley bushveld is reasonably dense in these valleys with trophy Animals lying up in them, one has to be very quiet when walking into them As you encounter the animals at close quarters. Shots of 70 to 90 yds are Common. We also drive and glass and then get off for the stalk.  Bush types found in abundance are the wild plum tree, spekboom, gwarry in the river beds you find the karoo acacia with karoo bush being the shortest.  Grasses, the blue buffalo and kweek found allover. Our bush types are not Very high (6 to 8ft) but makes for good stalking. We are also in an area That has the odd windy day and this allows one to get really close.  Most of our shots are taken from shooting sticks and hunters should practice Shooting off them, they steady ones aim considerably. There are two types Namely the tripod and bipod , 6ft in length they are strapped together about 6 Inches from the top by motorcar tube. Bringing a Harris bipod along is not a bad idea. Stay away from nylon clothing , cotton types in camo are great , not too heavy days are hot . Short pants are popular with clients and go down well with the heat. Make sure you have enough suntan lotion or sun block for the fairskins.  A typical hunting day starts at just before daybreak with coffee , we find Most hunters preferring to have a later breakfast therefore a cooler box is packed And during the morning we find some shade and have something to eat and drink.  We push through the day hunting hard and only returning to the lodge if we have shot our animals . Kudu and Bushbuck are mostly hunted in the evenings we set up early in the afternoons and wait up for them to appear just before dark. This method works well as one can select good trophies and a get good shot off. We always have a tracker on the hunt and his eyes are invaluable when moving around on the ranch or walking in thick bush for spotting good trophies.  When arriving back in the evenings at the hunting camp you will be greeted by a cold South African beer and a fire burning. The days hunting is discussed and good fellowship around the fire is enjoyed. A tasty farm cooked dinner is prepared and wines are served with all evening meals. ( game shot is also sampled). The rooms are comfortable en suite with showers and our area is malaria free.

Hunting is done on vast ranges of land, ranging from typical South African plains, to steep hills where the kudu, and bushbuck like to hideout. We take a very limited number of hunters. This way we can assure the quality of your safari, both in the trophies you take from your African hunt and your overall enjoyment of the hunt.

We look forward to having you join us for the very best plains game that South Africa has to offer.
