Free state

Camp Rosendal

This will be a relaxing 4 hours drive from Pretoria. This is a great area with a wide variety of game! Hunting plains game or one of the Big Five will be a fun but challenging hunt. In this area you will see many  different species from the tiny Steenbuck to the mighty Buffalo.The hotel is situated in a small town called Rosendal, 15 minutes drive from the main hunting area. Alternative hunting areas are available which is an hours drive from Rosendal.

Camp Zulu Land

Camp Zulu Land is 6 hours drive from Pretoria. The option is there to take a charter flight that will only take an hour and ten minutes. Hunting for Plains game or Big Five in Natal will be as challenging as any other place on earth! The area is thick brush with open areas in between and can expect to see the Red Duiker darting into thick brush while on foot. 

Camp Limpopo

This camp is only 2½ hours drive from Pretoria. Perfect area for bow hunters.Hunting is more difficult than the Freestate. A lot more thick brush and trees. Lots of fun hunting on foot or out of a blind.

Camp Kalahari

This area is known for sandy but thick brush in places! Preferably try and charter into hunting area that borders Botswana, one of South Africa's neighboring countries. The long drive by vehicle but well worth the time for a trophy Lion or Lioness. Hunting areas are very big and one will need some time to get a quality trophy animal.
