Expect well-appointed accommodations, complete with 3 luxury rooms with en-suite bathrooms, incredible views, and under-floor heating. With a large tv, two living areas, and a sunken bar, your group will have plenty of time together to recount your day’s hunt.

Fresh seafood and gourmet country cooking are part of the experience. Wi-Fi is available.

Karoo Camp Lodges:

The main lodge offers 16 en-suite bedrooms, bathrooms with underfloor heating, shower & bathtub, private patios, lounge & dining areas, lapas, a swimming pool, and a fully equipped gym (including treadmills, exercise bikes, free weights, benches, and a variety of other training machines).

At each camp, they emphasize exclusivity with a personal touch. Friendly, well-trained staff with a reputation for service excellence will ensure that your every need is catered for.

Mountain Lodge: 

The original family home of the two brothers that own this outfitting company.  Set at the base of the beautiful hills, you will find two luxury suites and a brand new, 4-bedroom lodge.

This new lodge has a fully stocked kitchen, bar, and a central lounge area where you will have a fire and tv. This lodge is well done but feels like home. You will be able to make yourself comfortable, which is exactly what they want you to do. You will enjoy relaxing here in the evening before heading to one of the two Bomas for a fire and appetizers.

For larger groups, the main house may lodge some guests.

Taste of Africa

Dining at these lodges is an authentic culinary experience. Dining area options are different at each lodge but can include an outdoor boma with a fully stocked bar, African-inspired lapa, deck over the Seacow River, or the owner’s home with a cozy dining room and prominent fireplaces.

Meals include free-range steak, some of the best Karoo lamb, fresh locally produced vegetables, game hunted on safari, and a wide range of traditional, hearty South Africa meals.

The itinerary is completely up to you. You are the one in charge.

You can expect the following when we design your African safari: we will listen to your vision for your African hunting safari experience. We then begin designing your safari with lodge and destination selection, activity selection, flights, meet & greet services, travel insurance, clothing & equipment list, a countdown to Africa (this assists you with detail preparation leading up to trip time), detailed pricing with all included/not included items, and more.

As full-service African hunting safari specialists, we have visited over 90+ safari lodges in Africa over the last 30 years. We have selected only a handful of those who have met our strenuous criteria.  A combination of big game hunting, bird hunting, photo safari, Cape Town and Victoria Falls safaris are our specialty.

As with all of our African properties, private aircraft are available for transfers if you prefer.

There are several options for travel all beginning with your arrival in Johannesburg.

Option 1: We have charter planes that can take you directly to the properties with private landing strips.

Option 2: Fly from Johannesburg to either Port Elizabeth or Bloemfontein where you will be greeted by your lodge host and transfer by road to the hunting property which will be a 2 – 3 hour scenic drive.
