HUNTING AREAS
South Africa
J.P. Kleinhans Safaris has hunting experience in each of South
Africa’s nine provinces. Our primary camp is located one hour
north of the city of Port Elizabeth. Unlike the majority of
South African outfitters offering ‘package Safaris’ operating
on a single property, J.P. Kleinhans Safaris operates lodges
and hunting concessions from the Eastern Cape to the Northern
most provinces. This gives our clients the opportunity to hunt
over 30 species of big game while enjoying a diversity of
habitat and geographical locations few Safari companies can
provide.
Our world-class plains game Safaris are the perfect choice for
a first Safari or for the veteran African hunter looking for
superior service and record book quality game. We welcome
families who enjoy hunting together and have hosted numerous
husband/wife, father/son/daughter Safaris with a long client
and reference list of satisfied hunting guests.
We offer both rifle and bow hunting concessions and guarantee
80% of all trophies taken to make the SCI record books. Over
the last three Safari seasons, we have a 92% record book entry
rate! Ideal time for our Safari hunts is March 1st
through October 1st (South African autumn and
winter).
Mozambique
We now
offer a 100,000+ acre Buffalo and Plains game concession in
Mozambique . Due to the large demand for buffalo from many
of you the legendary Mahimba Concession in Eastern-Central
Mozambique is now part of JP Kleinhans Safaris.
This concession is one of the finest big game hunting
destinations in modern day Africa. Mahimba, due to its
history of good management and remote location is truly
an oasis for buffalo and other big game. Another
contributing factor in the exceptionally high
concentration of game is that due to the dampness of the
soil, which leads to foot rot in Lion, Leopard and
Hyena, there is a total absence of these large
predators. In short, most buffalo and plains game
youngsters born here grow to be mature trophy adults.
This concession is privately owned, and flanked by two
rivers which form it natural boundaries, thus there is
no need for fences. Access to the remote camp is by a
short 50 minute charter flight from Beira . This is Africa a la Ernest Hemingway. Please take note
that unlike many other outfitters that charge between
$1500-2000 for Charter flights, these flights are at a
set fee of $900 roundtrip. The camp is outfitted with
several Toyota Landcruisers which are brought across the
river on a barge at low tide at the beginning of the
season.
The Mahimba quota for the 2008 season is set at: 25 Buffalo, 10
Sable, 20 Waterbuck, 20 Common Reedbuck, 15 Chobe
Bushbuck, 40 Warthog, 8 Bushpig, 10 Crocodiles and 2
Hippos.
The pictures below will give you an indication of last
years buffalo quality. These are but a few of the many
hundreds of buffalo that occur on this concession. Most
of the species available are of fantastic trophy
quality. The previous strict management has ensured that
only a select few trophies are shot every year ensuring
that the average quality of trophies is exceptional.
Lastly I can assure you that the camp is one of the most
spectacular hunting camps in Africa, considering its
remote location. It is fully equipped and caters for
every hunters or their companions needs. Chalets are set
in a lush tropical garden, with lawns and walkways
connecting the individual units.
We
are in the process of putting together a short pilot DVD
which will be of great interest for those of you
serious about hunting in Mozambique in the near future.
We encourage you to inquire about a hunt in Mozambique
and would be more than happy to answer any questions you
may have about hunting with us there.
