Why Hunt the Karoo

The Karoo is an area of unique beauty, where the stars light up the sky each night and the horizon stretches forever. The area is composed of breathtaking mountains, dry river beds carved by waters that once flowed and covered by patchy grass and the Karoo sweet thorn acacia trees. In the remote river valleys such as the Groot River Valley you will find thick bushveld along the seasonal river flood plains and towering mountains offering the seasoned hunter the ultimate hunting challenge he desires. With its elusive wildlife, the Karoo offers some of the most pristine and genuine hunting experiences in South Africa. It is the exact opposite of “shooting fish in the barrel” as the wily Eastern Cape Kudu call the mountains and canyons home and challenges the hunter in a way not seen in the flat terrain of the Northern Cape or the Limpopo area. The mountains are also home to the klipspringer, mountain reedbuck and the elusive Cape Mountain Zebra.

In fact, hunting in the Karoo offers hunting as challenging as any mountain hunt you will find in any other location. The combination of challenge, unique environment, and numerous species of animals makes hunting the Karoo a memory you will not soon forget.

In the thick bushveld of the valley bottoms you will find numerous game species including buffalo, nyala, bushbuck, impala, warthog, steenbuck, duiker, blue and black wildebeest, waterbuck, lechwe and others. The Karoo offers a little bit of everything that will make your safari adventure a life long memory and provide the opportunity to take harvest trophy animals.
