Tarentaalrand
Safari offers you a wide choice of hunting packages, including Trophy hunting,
Bow hunting, Biltong hunting, Cull hunting and Informal (Social Bird Hunting). Under
the professional guidance of your Professional Hunters, Theuns and/or Erika
Cloete, you can bag as many as fourteen species of African plains game at
Tarentaalrand Safari Lodge, and other species will be available at the hunter’s
request to add to your collection at home. Ever wanted to add a Lion trophy to
your collection? We can give you this unique opportunity! Let us know and we
will show you a range of lions to choose from. Add this animal King to your
wall and be one of a few to have experienced this special encounter with the
king of the animals.
During your
hunt we shall expertly field dress your trophy to perfection in our exclusive
facilities. After this they will be sent to a South African taxidermist of our
choice for dipping and shipping and/or stuffing.
Our hunting
season lasts all year round although it peaks in the winter months - March to
September. You can expect shooting distances varying from only 30 meters to up
to 250 meters. You will arrive at OR Thambo International Airport where you can
take a domestic flight to Bloemfontein or Kimberley. Kimberley airport is only

We recommend that you bring the following:
Clothing of a light safari type, preferably
in a drab olive or khaki colour.
Shoes should be comfortable and well-worn,
with a soft sole for better stalking.
Remember enough warm jackets as nights and
early mornings can be cold. Average temperatures you can expect are: the
autumn/winter season (April to August): 0 to 25 degrees Celsius (32 to 77
degrees Fahrenheit) and spring/summer (September to March): 10 to 35 degrees
Celsius (50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit).
A suitable hat for protection against the sun
(preferably in natural colours)
Remember to bring your binoculars and
camera/video equipment - the surroundings are beautiful and a photo will be
permanent proof of your hunting skills
A pocket knife is always handy, as is a torch
at night
We encourage hunters to bring their own firearms
with which they are familiar. Temporary permits can be easily obtained for the
duration of the hunt.
Terms and Conditions
50% of the total hunting safari cost is
payable as deposit to confirm and secure a hunt booking, with the balance
payable upon the day of safari commencement. Species fees are payable at the
end of the safari and include wounded / lost animals as determined by the
professional hunter.
Normally a standard safari's duration is a
minimum stay of 7
days and maximum of 21 days. Should you require any other special schedule, we
would need to discuss this option first.
When a safari is cancelled the deposit is not
refundable unless termination of the booking is received three months prior to
the stated departure date, in which case the deposit less a 10% handling fee
will be refunded (thus refunding of 90% takes place). Always ensure you get
trip cancellation insurance as unforeseen circumstances including missing
scheduled airline flights can occur!
Although we take all necessary precautions,
we accept no liability for any unforeseen accidents or happenings, due to the
fact that hunting and safari travel can be dangerous.
