This is an African safari hunt targeting trophy warthog
in a game reserve that literally boasts hundreds of pigs!
It is not uncommon at the end of the dry season to see
40 plus warthog grazing around the lakes and
reservoirs on this reserve.
However, this does not make for easy hunting. The
discerning hunter needs to slowly and silently walk and
stalk the concession to take their trophy warthog. But it
is also possible to ambush warthog as they go to or
from feeding or water. Frequently guests ask ‘What is a
big warthog?’ In this game reserve you will know what
‘big’ is when you see it! Warthog with tusks exceeding
35 cm in length are taken regularly with pig sporting 30
cm plus tusks being fairly common!
Guests will arrive into Oliver Tambo International
Airport Johannesburg on Sunday and spend the day
in Johannesburg. After a welcoming and relaxing
breakfast at the guesthouse, you can visit one of the
many museums, art and craft markets or events that
are weekend features in Sandton / Johannesburg. Or
spend the day wingshooting with high volume pigeon
shooting 90 minutes from Johannesburg (as an
extra). At the evening dinner in one of the many
excellent restaurants in town the conversation soon
switches to the hunting safari and what to expect!
Monday morning is an early start with a 4 – 5 hour
drive to arrive at the game reserve in time to enjoy a
light lunch before heading to the range to test the
rifles. And then the safari begins!
Five full days of hunting offer our guests every opportunity to see, stalk and take trophy and non-trophy
warthog. In addition the concession holds 20 plus other game species including elephant, rhino, buffalo,
hippo, crocodile, kudu, wildebeest, zebra, bushbuck, nyala, waterbuck, impala, common reedbuck and
mountain reedbuck, bushpig, steenbuck, duiker and many more.
Hunting will be early mornings from 5.00 a.m. after coffee and rusks thru to noon followed by a brunch and
a short rest and resumes early afternoon thru to dusk. We recommend that you bring a rifle that you are
comfortable shooting in a caliber of 7 mm plus. Warthog are very tough and there is no reason not to use a
bigger gun like a .375 H&H if you have one and enjoy
shooting it! 40 bullets (softs) should be sufficient.
Drinks before dinner and a three course evening meal
- around an open fire - with great wines and cold
beers round off the day’s hunting.
After 5 full days hunting, we return to Johannesburg
and - following a light lunch – head towards the
airport for the return trip to Europe or the USA.
For the hunter that is mad about pig hunting this is a
hunt not to be missed!
Still awaiting a confirmed price, guide price is around £2,200 + flights, this is getting checked and confirmed now.
