Hunting
Hunting in Africa will be one of the most exciting hunts you will ever do.
There is no other place you will encounter with more numbers and variety of species.
At Sediba Nkwe Hunting Safari’s it’s all about the customer so each hunt is planned to suit the hunter and non-hunting observer’s personal requirements.

Rifle Hunting
We prefer to use one of our hunting vehicles until we spot the trophy we after and if a shot is not presented we will attempt a stalk depending on the wind and terrain we are in. Hunting over watering holes in one of the rifle stands is also a very popular option.
A .30 caliber rifle, with a 3 to 9 variable scope and a min of 160gr high-quality soft nose cartridge on all plains game is recommended. For dangerous game, a .375 or bigger with a compact scope is recommended. For the Big Cat species we recommend a soft nose, Cape Buffalo high-quality soft nose cartridges as well as some solids and for Elephant, Rhino and Hippo we only use solids.
always use a rifle you know and have used in the past. The best rifle is the one you are comfortable with.
And if you don’t want the hassle of getting through the airport with your rifle you are welcome to rent one of our many rifles in camp.
