We Tailor Make Safaris for you
We hunt on private concessions and our main camp is in the Limpopo Province where we do have access to many concessions. We do however spread our wings much wider and in fact we quote for the hunting of any species available in Southern Africa.
Bosveld Jacobs Safaris can be regarded as being synonymous with the concept of ethical hunting. Early morning drives take us to the relevant hunting areas. We then pursue our prey on foot and go into the utmost of efforts in locating and shooting quality trophies. The hunter’s health and physical abilities might occasionally compel us to adapt hunting strategies. We pride ourselves to the fact that we see to it that even the physical disabled shoot their own trophies.
The unfortunate experience of tracking down a wounded animal, either by the traditional African way of following the “spoor” with the aid of our capable guides or with our well trained dogs, usually ends up to be the highlight of the hunt. Recently a wounded Red Hartebeest was tracked down and killed after a follow up operation lasting some fifteen hours.
The saddest moment for many patrons arrives upon departure; saying goodbye to the dogs!
