South Africa is a mosaic of landscapes, where the wild meets the sublime. Whether it's the adrenaline rush of tracking dangerous game or the serene pursuit of plains game, South Africa promises an unforgettable hunting experience.
With abundant sunshine year-round, South Africa offers temperate weather. However, come winter, the chilly embrace with occasional snowfall in the mountains makes for a refreshing change. The period between October to March can see temperatures soaring, at times touching 40°C.
From sprawling expanses ranging from 5,000 to 50,000 acres, our hunting blocks offer a thrilling challenge, ensuring a fair chase. Spanning from the lush Limpopo Province to the scenic Eastern Cape, our diverse locations let you pursue a wide variety of species. Occasionally, our adventures lead us to pristine Private or Government Reserves. In certain regions, experience hunting in "open areas", free from high fences, for an authentic touch.
In South Africa, hunting is a year-round endeavour. However, the dry months, typically from May to September, are often preferred by hunters. During this period, vegetation thins out, improving visibility, and game animals are drawn to specific watering holes, making them easier to locate. Conversely, the rainy season from October to April brings dense greenery, making tracking a bit more challenging as animals disperse. Still, this season offers a vivid, lush backdrop and the chance to witness the vibrant ecosystem in full swing. Ultimately, the choice of when to hunt hinges on individual preferences and desired challenges.
At Likhulu Safaris, your safety and well-being are our top priorities during your expedition. We ensure that all our camps and lodges are equipped with comprehensive medical kits, and in the unlikely event of an emergency, our teams have immediate access to essential communication tools for swift response. Furthermore, since parts of South Africa are known to be malaria zones, it's crucial for travellers to be informed and proactive. We recommend that you consult with your doctor about malaria prophylaxis, and always consult your outfitter about the specific areas you'll be visiting. Additionally, it's essential to keep travel documents, cash, and other valuables secure and handy during your trip to avoid any unexpected inconveniences.
From the moment your feet touch South African soil, our dedicated team guarantees a seamless and luxurious experience.

Upon landing in South Africa, Zimbabwe, or Mozambique, enjoy a hassle-free customs experience. Ensure you have a valid passport; a visa might be required based on your country of origin. We highly recommend comprehensive insurance that covers personal belongings, potential trip cancellations, and unexpected medical situations for a worry-free adventure.
As you embark on your journey to South Africa, understanding the monetary landscape is crucial. South Africa operates with the Rand (ZAR) as its currency. While major cities and tourist hotspots readily accept credit cards, it's advisable to carry some Rands for smaller establishments or unexpected needs. Additionally, consider familiarising yourself with local ATMs and exchange rates to ensure smooth financial transactions during your visit. While cash remains king, we facilitate electronic transfers to our USA account. Remember, tips, as tokens of appreciation, are cherished. Note that a 15% Value Added Tax applies on non-export items.
