Shenandoah Hunting Safaris – Where African Tradition, Wilderness, and Personal Hospitality Meet

Tucked away in South Africa’s malaria-free bushveld, resting along the peaceful Elands River, Shenandoah Hunting Safaris has been welcoming hunters from across the world since 1996. What began as a family passion for wildlife, conservation, and the African outdoors has grown into one of South Africa’s most trusted and personal hunting outfitters — known for warm hospitality, exceptional trophies, and hunts tailored around each client’s dreams.

At Shenandoah, you’re not treated as a booking.
You’re treated as a guest, a friend and family.


A Destination Built for International Hunters

Shenandoah is ideally positioned for the travelling hunter — offering breathtaking bushveld landscapes, reliable trophy quality, ethical fair-chase hunts, and a lodge experience that blends comfort, privacy, and African charm.

International hunters choose Shenandoah because of:

  • Malaria-free hunting areas
  • Owner-operated hospitality
  • Personal, small-group hunts

Every guest is guided through the planning process, from choosing species to understanding travel requirements. Shenandoah’s team ensures that when you arrive, everything is taken care of, allowing you to focus on what brought you here — the adventure.


The Hunt – Trophy Quality, Ethical Methods, Real Africa

Whether you’re after a majestic Cape buffalo, a mature sable bull, or the unmatched beauty of kudu and other plains game, Shenandoah offers landscapes and habitats ideal for a wide range of African species.

Hunting options include:

  • Big Game / Dangerous Game
    Buffalo (specialty), sable, and other high-value species

    Each hunt adapted to your skill, preference, and comfort

All hunts are conducted with respect, safety, and conservation at the forefront — ensuring fair chase and a true African experience you’ll speak about for years to come.


The Lodge – Bushveld Comfort by the River

Set beside the flowing Elands River, Shenandoah’s lodge combines rustic bushveld charm with modern comfort. Private wooden cabins, each with their own character, offer peaceful spaces to retreat and rest after the day’s adventure.

At night, stories unfold around the campfire.
Freshly prepared meals — often featuring local flavours — are enjoyed under the open African sky.
This is safari living the way it was meant to be:
simple, authentic, and unforgettable.


More Than a Hunting Trip – A Complete African Experience

While Shenandoah is a premier hunting destination, they understand that Africa holds much more for guests and their families. Non-hunters and companions can enjoy:

  • Wildlife viewing
  • Relaxing at the lodge
  • Birdwatching and photography
  • Scenic bush walks
  • Local culture
  • Excursions into nearby towns

Shenandoah Safaris blends hunting with hospitality, ensuring every guest — whether hunting or not — finds something memorable.


Ethical, Professional, Personal – The Shenandoah Promise

Everything at Shenandoah is guided by three principles:

Ethics.
Professionalism.
Personal service.

From the first message you send until your trophies are shipped home, their team handles every detail professionally — always with a personal touch.

Many guests return year after year.
Some bring family next time.
Others arrive as strangers and leave as lifelong friends.

⭐ Client Testimonial

“I just want to thank Nico and the entire staff at Shenandoah Hunting Safaris for the adventure of a lifetime. I was able to successfully hunt trophy kudu, sable, impala, zebra, warthog, gemsbok — and experienced the most THRILLING hunt of my life: a 45-inch Cape buffalo!

Nico did everything he needed to fulfil my bucket list of game animals. The hospitality and accommodation were first class — meals, beverages, snacks, laundry and skinning services were all exceptional. From airport pickup to drop-off, everything exceeded my expectations.

At 80 years old, I’ve never felt as alive as I did in the bush of Africa. This hunt was a 12 out of 10!
