I have an excellent free range hunt in South Africa up for grabs. The hunting area is over 37,000 free range acres.

In Kwa-Zulu Natal province this outfitter specializes in hunting the indigenous trophies of the Umkomaas Valley and the Drakensberg Mountains. These areas are famous for Nyala, Bushbuck, Kudu, Reedbuck, Mountain Reedbuck and Vaal Rhebuck. Various more common species occur in the same areas.

Umkomaas Valley
All safaris into Kwazulu Natal start from the Durban International Airport. Road transfers take approximately two hours (150km) into the Umkomaas Valley. Accommodation is in typical Game Lodge fashion, with private chalets and on suite bathrooms overlooking the breathtaking Umkomaas River.
