Day 1: Arrival - Lowveld
Guests are met upon arrival at O.R. Tambo International (Johannesburg) by their professional hunter or hunters.They will be holding a sign with your name on as you enter the arrivals lounge.

The region is characterized by wooded savannah with rocky outcrops. The Drakensberg Mountains tower over the region and the view of this mountain range in the distance is quite spectacular. The Lowveld region is the primary Big Five area in South Africa and has in times past been a favorite hunting ground for some of the legendary professional hunters.

Day 2-7: Hunting Lowveld
Hunters: A typical hunting day would start just before dawn at which time coffee and rusks are enjoyed. A selection of breakfast cereals. yogurt and juice is also available at this time.

Some time is then devoted to relaxing in camp.The hunt is resumed at about 15:00 from which time we hunt until sunset.

The methods of hunting employed depends on the preference of the client and can consist of either waking and stalking, hunting from blinds or special vantage points from which we glass and ambush animals. The option of hunting from one of our well equipped vehicles is also available should you have any medical problems, or are limited by not being able to walk long distances. This option is also available if you wish to have a more easy going safari. Your Professional Hunter will discuss these options with you after arrival, and all are always available.
