I’m going to be based in Hoedspruit, South Africa for a week with my family in July 2019. I like the idea of a one or two day hunt somewhere nearby. Can anyone please recommend a Safari hunt that might work? Happy to hunt just one animal and the antelope species would be my preferred target.
Thanks.

Good day, you cant go wrong with Wayne Wagner Safaris based near Hoedspruit. Watsapp Ian Brown on +27828251007.

Second recommendation for Wayne Wagner. I hunted with Ian in 2010 and would gladly do so again.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Get hold of Jan Dumon who posts here on AR. He is headquartered at Hoedspruit and has some fine hunts.

The town itself is interesting, too with a good restaurant, the Hat and Creek (which is what Hoedspruit means in Afrikaans) and some interesting art galleries and a nice mall with some antique cars and reproductions south of town.

Regards, Tim

I am also based near Hoedspruit, Spear safaris.
I will be glad to help you on one of my areas, I have 25 000 acres about 1 hour from Hoedspruit that may be of interest of you. Email would be best info@spearsafaris.com

I would go to Klaserie or Timbavati. I believe they both also hunt their respective areas. Always nice to support those who support hunting

I can vouch for the quality of hunting that Ernest Dyason provides near Hoedspruit. My son shot a fantastic kudu with him, while I took a nice nyala in just a few days of hunting tacked onto the back-end of a family vacation.
