South Africa Plains Game — 10 Days
South Africa
About This Hunt
Hunting territory: Limpopo Province bushveld (Waterberg / Soutpansberg fringe)
Territory description: Acacia bushveld, riverine valleys
South Africa's Limpopo bushveld offers the template 10-day plains-game safari: enough time to hunt five common species properly without rushing trophy quality. All listed game occurs on the same property — vehicle access to the area, then stalking on foot.
Nyala in the riverine thickets and blesbok on the open flats are classic Limpopo combinations; springbok is excluded because it belongs to Karoo/arid zones, not bushveld.
Typical all-inclusive quote: US$8,800–$9,700 (1×1 hunter, trophy fees included where noted by outfitters). Limpopo/Waterberg 10-day 5–6 plains-game packages typically run US$8,800–9,700 for a 1×1 all-inclusive bag; Eastern Cape 10-day quotes can dip to ~US$7,200 with fewer species or a shared vehicle.
