South Africa uses electrical sockets running at 220 volts and a frequency of 50 Hz. The plugs used are of type M, which have three round pins in a triangular configuration. If your devices are not compatible with these specifications, you may need a voltage converter or plug adapter. The electrical sockets in the headboards of our rooms are fitted with two USB ports on each side, allowing you to still charge some of your electronic devices without a power converter.

Yes, we absolutely do eat the game we shoot. In fact, it is a cherished aspect of the hunting experience. The game that we successfully hunt is not only a trophy, but also a source of nourishment and culinary delight.

One of the many reasons why hunting is so captivating is the thrill of sourcing our own food. It is a gratifying feeling knowing that we have played an active role in acquiring the sustenance that will end up on our dinner table. The game that we hunt can be prepared in various ways, each bringing its own unique flavour and indulgence to the dining experience. The richness and distinct taste of game meat can elevate any dish, turning a simple meal into a memorable feast.

It is a testament to our commitment as hunters to honour the animals we pursue, valuing their significance not only during the hunt but also in our kitchens.

During your stay at camp, the daily rate and/or hunting package will include three meals a day, as well as beverages such as bottled water, soft drinks, and local wines and beers.

For breakfast, you can expect a warm meal with options such as bacon, sausages, eggs, and toast, accompanied by fruit, yogurt, muesli, cereal, and rusks.

Brunch or lunch, depending on your hunting proximity, may consist of salads, lasagnas, pies, hamburgers, sandwiches, cold meats, fruit, and snacks at the lodge or when hunting further away from the lodge, packed in lunchboxes. Your Professional Hunter (PH) will also supply a cool-box with soft drinks and bottled water for your convenience.

In the evening, you will be greeted with a charcuterie board featuring biltong (South African jerky), nuts, cheeses, and cold meats, along with an ice-cold drink. Dinner will include a starter, main course (beef, chicken, pork, venison), vegetables, salads, homemade bread, and a delicious dessert. Game meat/venison hunted during your safari will also be incorporated into the meals.

Prior to your safari, you will have the opportunity to provide any special dietary requirements on our information sheet. We will do our best to accommodate your needs during your stay at camp.

Our lodge uses well water, which is safe to drink directly from the tap. However, due to a high limescale content, some guests may find the taste less preferable than bottled water. Bottled water is however readily available if you prefer it. When outside of camp, we recommend exercising caution and avoiding drinking directly from taps.

While no specific inoculations are required for travelers visiting Southern Africa, we strongly recommend ensuring that your hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and tetanus shots are up to date before your trip. Additionally, as we are situated in the most Northern part of the Limpopo province, which is considered a low-risk Malaria area, especially during the warmer months of September to April, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional regarding malaria medication. Taking preventative measures such as using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing can greatly reduce the risk of malaria.

We have been doing business with Trophy Solutions Africa since 2015, and what a pleasure it always has been. Their level of professionalism is out of this world and their mounting work is even more spectacular.

We understand the importance of safely and efficiently getting your trophies home after your safari with us. Our process involves working closely with a reputable taxidermist who will handle the collection, inspection, and shipping of your trophies. Upon collection day, the taxidermist will carefully gather all skulls and skins, ensuring correct tagging and loading them onto their vehicle for transportation to their facility. Upon arrival, each part will be inspected again and photos taken for record keeping.

The taxidermist will then discuss your order with you, giving you the option to have your trophies mounted in South Africa with them or opt for the dip-and-pack option to have them shipped back to your home country. Their service team will guide you through the various options available, and continue to keep you informed throughout the process, including notifying you when your trophies are ready for shipping. They will provide you with all necessary information regarding the shipping process and delivery timeline to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.

Our best months for hunting are from April through to the end of September, which are our cooler winter months with minimal rain. However, we do hunt throughout the year. Therefore, the best time to go on safari would be as soon as possible, whenever it suits you.

Yes, it is essential to inform your bank in advance about your travel plans. Informing your bank ahead of time ensures seamless access to your funds, allowing you to focus on enjoying your safari experience.

Here’s a quick procedure to follow:

1. Contact the Bank: Call or log in to your bank’s website/app to notify them of your travel dates and destinations. This prevents your account from being flagged for unusual activity while you’re abroad.
2. Confirm International Transaction Policies: Check with your bank about international transaction fees, daily spending limits, and any currency exchange services they may offer to avoid unexpected fees.
3. Enable Foreign Transactions on Credit Cards: Some banks or credit card issuers require specific authorization for foreign purchases, so make sure your card is enabled for international use.
4. Consider a Secondary Payment Method: It’s advisable to bring an alternative card in case your primary card encounters issues. Having cash in local currency (South African Rand) for smaller purchases is also helpful.
5. Store Contact Information for Emergencies: Keep your bank’s international contact number handy in case you need assistance while abroad.

Please keep in mind when paying with a bank card, we only accept Visa and Mastercard
