Trip or Service Description:

INTRODUCTION Our Safari Outfitting business was founded in 1993.  The establishment and development of Numzaan Safaris, today one of South Africa’s premier outfitters, was largely due to our profound love for nature, conservation and hunting.  Today we are run as a family enterprise and arguably the leading outfitter in Southern Africa enjoying excellent rates and booking conditions which translates into the best possible value for money to you, our valued customer. Our base camp is situated on the upper reaches of the Crocodile River in the Limpopo Province, on the ranch Vaalkop.  Vaalkop is to be found in Koedoeskop (Kudu’s hill), only two hours drive North West of Johannesburg International Airport in an area blessed with a pristine environment in the beautiful Waterberg mountain range. From our base camp at Koedoeskop we hunt on more than 80 000 hectares (200000 acres) of carefully selected prime hunting concessions.  Our concessions are handpicked for the quality of not only the trophies, but also the hunting experience. In South Africa we also have concessions in the provinces of Kwa-Zulu Natal, Freestate and the Eastern Cape.  We also offer hunts in Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Botswana and Mozambique. Nature and wildlife is one of the biggest tourist attractions to South Africa - possibly the most exotic and unique destination in the world. Our safari outfit, due to its partnership with nature and conservation, is a proud and well-known icon contributing to the global success of the South African hunting industry. We  maintain the highest standards and boasts many international awards. With the exception of organizing your return flights to South Africa (Johannesburg), all your transportation needs will be taken care of. A Numzaan Safaris representative will pick you up, at no additional costs, from Johannesburg International Airport and transfer you to the hunting location.  Transportation during your hunt is by fully equipped hunting vehicles and/or mini coach.  As a general rule, a typical hunting day consists of a wake-up call before dawn (06:00 AM); dress and get ready for the hunt; hot beverage with toast is served; depart for the day’s hunt; brunch is served at 11:00 back in the camp; a short siesta to refresh; hunt until dusk; return to camp; shower and change of clothes; drinks around camp fire; dinner and conversation; retire to bed. Our well-trained staff handles all field preparation. Hides will be meticulously skinned and chemically preserved.  Your trophies will be delicately tagged with your name prior to being transported free of charge to our local Taxidermist.    We will do all necessary documentation and arrangements to have your trophies safely and legally exported.     We are passionate about hunting, have an absolute commitment to quality and offer exceptional trophies in a picture perfect setting. We are your gateway to Africa!

WHAT TO EXPECT Although most of Africa is third world, South Africa is an exception evident especially in the urban areas of our country. By far the largest part of South Africa however remain rural where our “bush” is similar to other remote areas of the world, so expect to be isolated and removed from the environment you are accustomed to. Your safari camp however is a classic example of an oasis in the wilderness and a comfortable haven to retire following a most exciting day of hunting. At night you can indulge yourself in the millions of bright African stars creating a magical atmosphere. There are two very distinct types of hunting in South Africa i.e., on game ranches and government designated safari areas divergent to concessions and communal or tribal trust land, where there are no fences. On a game ranch, such as to be found in South Africa there is a perimeter fence, but the game move freely, and hunts are strictly fair chase. The trophy quality of most plains game are generally better on ranches, so much so that we take their clients to a ranch for plains game after they have harvested their dangerous game, i.e., Elephant, Lion and Buffalo.   Your professional hunter (PH) always has complete authority during the safari and controls the camp and staff. His authority may not be challenged. Any disagreements or complaints should be discussed in private with the PH IMMEDIATELY, NOT AFTER THE HUNT.  You must observe and strictly adhere to all game and firearm laws and regulations of your host country.  You should not aim or shoot at any animal or bird without the prior permission from your PH. Animals which are wounded by you will be pursued and dispatched by the PH. You may accompany the chase only at the PH’s discretion. A wounded and lost animal shall be charged as a kill. Dangerous game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and hippo) if not killed outright by you, will immediately be dispatched by the PH. Should the wounded animal flee, the PH will pursue it. You may not take part in such pursuit if the PH deems it unsafe for you, himself or his trackers. Firearms will be kept unloaded at all times until commencement of the hunt. No liquor, beer or wine shall be consumed during or immediately preceding the hunt. You should conduct yourself as a gentleman or lady in a sportsmanlike fashion at all times. If for any reason you should terminate your safari, no refund whatsoever will be made. We are widely known for producing the most distinctive and sought after trophies.  Expect superb hunting with expert guides and a memorable experience on vacation with us – Your Gateway to Africa! HUNTING SEASON Our hunting season runs from 1st February until 30th November.  Temperatures in winter (May to August) vary between 5°C (40° F) in the early morning to 20°C (68°F) during mid day.  Autumn and Spring (February to April and September to November) varies between 15°C (59°F) to 30°C (86°F).  We recommend a wide brimmed hat with a good sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 20. LODGING & MEALS While you are hunting with us you will be staying in chalets, cottages or rondavels with all the necessary facilities, hot and cold running water with flush toilets and shower/bath.

We recommend that all rifles be zeroed in at this distance.  A minimum caliber of .270 is recommended.  No semi automatic firearms are permitted in South Africa and will be confiscated at customs.  The requirements for importing a firearm/s into South Africa has been updated and became effective on 1 July 2004.  (Please refer to the above link for more information and the applicable documentation and forms to be adhered to by visitor)  For Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant and Hippo a minimum caliber of .375 is recommended.  All calibers bigger than this are welcome.  40 Rounds per rifle is recommended.  Police officials will issue a temporary import/export permit at no costs at port of entry.
