Hunting safaris
Magersfontein Safaris offer discerning hunters the choice of tailored bow or rifle hunting safaris.
We offer various game hunting packages and can customise a hunting safari to meet your needs, no hunt is ever to big or small for us. We also pride ourselves in that we can assist handicapped hunters in their sporting adventures.
A 10 000 acre bow hunting only concession with blinds at strategic points ensure many opportunities at trophy animals.
Salt and mineral blocks are used in combination with water to entice the animals and increase your chances. The average shooting distance is 20 yards. An archery range with shooting block is available to check your bow.
Magersfontein Safaris has access to several concessions totalling in excess of 50 000 acres, all within a 50 mile radius of camp.
All plains game, including Eland, can be taken with 30.06, 300 or 7mm magnum calibres. Average shooting distances are 150 – 200 yards and shots are taken from shooting sticks, trees, rock or termite mounds. 60 rounds of ammunition should be sufficient and must be transported separately from your rifle.
Rifles, with the bolt removed, should be transported in shock proof rifle cases. The necessary documentation for importing your rifle will be forwarded to you on receipt of confirmed booking of your hunt. We have an equipped range to check rifles on arrival.
