Hunting near Joberg

I may have 3 or 4 days to kill after my Zim hunt in Matetsi this summer. We are flying in and out of Joberg, where could we go for a few days of plains game with out having to charter or fly.

I have a place 50 miles and about 50 minutes from OR Thambo with a good selection of both grassvels and bushveld species. Depending on dates some very good wingshooting in immediate vicinity. All game bird hunting in South Africa is season bound. Accommodation choices from 5 star & 3 star on the property within very easy walking distance from the actual hunting grounds. Alternative, "normal" game lodge, or self-catering bungalow within 5 minutes' drive from hunting area. Trophy fees unbeatable and daily rates depends on accommodation choice.

AR references that hunted with me on same properties available. Please send message to andrew@mclarensafaris.com with dates and any other questions, desires for quote. Let me arrange a custom short duration hunt for you at unbeatable value for money spent costs.

In good hunting.

After a few years of participation on forums, I have learned that:

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.

One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

Plenty of DG downtown JNB.

The other option is to do some tiger fishing near Vic Falls.

Or bird hunting in RSA? That's a blast, 3 days is perfect, excellent pigeon, francolin, waterfowl, guineas, doves and even quail.
