FAQ's
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us!
Do I need a VISA?
US citizens do not currently need a visa for stays under 90 days. You just need a passport valid for 6 months with at least 2 blank pages.
Is Limpopo a Malaria area?
Most of our hunting areas in Limpopo are considered low-risk, although certain regions may fall within medium-risk zones, particularly depending on the season and specific location. We recommend consulting your doctor regarding appropriate precautions or malaria prophylaxis before travelling.
How do I get my trophies home?
Your trophies will be professionally dipped & packed or finished to your exact specifications. Once completed, they will be carefully prepared and shipped to the United States.
What happens if I don't harvest an animal?
On package hunts, you only pay for the animals you take. If an animal on your list isn’t found, we adjust the package price or offer a substitute.
Can I rent a rifle?
Yes. We have a variety of well-maintained calibers available for rent if you prefer not to travel with your own.
