Booking Process

Dates are agreed upon via email, and your booking is confirmed immediately.
Airline reservations must be confirmed approximately eight months in advance to secure and roll your booking forward.
For bookings made less than eight months in advance, we require confirmed flight reservations within two to three weeks.

Hunt Duration & Scheduling

Package hunts run for eight days, excluding arrival and departure.
Bookings are organized in three blocks per month:
- 1–10
- 11–20
- 21–30
Each block includes arrival and departure days.

Flights & Travel Recommendations

If traveling with rifles, we recommend the Airlink flight from Johannesburg to Port Elizabeth. The best option is the 10:30 am Airlink flight, arriving around noon, with the same mid-morning return flight.
If you are not carrying rifles, you are welcome to use any airline with a similar mid-morning arrival schedule.

We recommend Gracy Travel, specialists in African hunting safaris. Gracy will handle your entire trip logistics, including rifle permit paperwork, making the process smooth and stress-free.
