South Africa has established itself as a premier destination for international hunters, offering a unique blend of diverse wildlife, high levels of professionalism, ease of access, competitive value, and a comprehensive hunting experience. Decades of successful safaris have cemented South Africa’s reputation as a world-class hunting destination.
One of the most sought-after, fully immersive hunting experiences in the country is offered by Clarke Safaris, with operations and unique offerings in South Africa and other countries in Southern Africa such as Zimbabwe, Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique. The owner, Andy Clarke, and his team have explored vast areas of the continent and acquired a wealth of experience in the hunting and photographic fields over the years, having previously worked for other top safari companies that are involved in establishing the hunting industry as it is today.
This has given Clarke Safaris access to some of the very best areas within which they have acquired hunting rights. Therefore, this reputable, highly ethical company offers a hunting experience in the Eastern Cape, one of South Africa’s most biologically diverse provinces, which offers world-renowned trophy game. This province is one of Clarke Safaris’ most popular hunting destinations as it offers a full range of plains game species as well as buffalo for those who favour the excitement of a big game hunt.
Incomparable diversity
The Eastern Cape offers unmatched habitat diversity in a single province, indigenous and exotic species on one safari and exceptional mountain hunting opportunities. Hunters, accompanied by highly trained professional hunters at all times, can pursue a wide range of species from plains game such as kudu, springbok and impala to exotic or regionally introduced species including gemsbok, sable antelope, roan antelope, waterbuck and nyala.
Clarke Safaris provides tailored experiences that balance the challenge of hunting, safety and efficiency, ensuring each hunt is both rewarding and memorable. The company emphasises ethical and professional guidance with high success rates and well-managed trophy quality. Logistics are streamlined, with easy access from major airports and well-equipped lodges, allowing hunters to focus fully on the experience.
Spending time in the African bush is truly an experience of a lifetime for hunters and their non-hunting families and friends alike, as activities such as swimming, horse riding, fishing and photography are also available at the lodge.
The company ensures a complete safari experience, including comfortable accommodation in hunting lodges that offer views of the unique scenery and delicious farm-style meals, prepared by trained and renowned chefs. With its valleys, open grasslands, and mountainsides, hunters can, from a good vantage point, spot exceptional trophy animals.
The area is malaria-free and the lodge is easily accessible by direct flights from the OR Tambo International Airport to the East London or Port Elizabeth Airport, where the team will meet you and transfer you directly to the lodge.
