The winter months of April through to September are usually cold to warm with crisp, clear skies during the day, ideal hunting conditions. The Great Fish River Valley has one of the highest Kudu population densities in Africa, with record size Eastern Cape Kudu, Cape Bushbuck and Common Duiker taken here. All hunting areas have at least 15 species of game to offer, so concession travelling is reduced to a minimum. Plains game are hunted in the scenic grasslands and Bushveld Valleys. Due to the high population densities in the hunting areas, success in obtaining the species selected is excellent.
Laundry is done on a daily basis at each Lodge.
Thermal underwear and gloves are advisable during the mid-winter months. During this period, night temperatures can reach sub-zero, so make sure you bring warm clothing. Two pairs of good walking boots are recommended. Your rifle should be packed in a hard carry case for transportation on the flight over. A soft rifle bag will be supplied to you for the duration of the Safari.
