Africa’s finest hunting - crafted around you
Your African Hunting Adventure
At Hunt the Sun, we believe a great hunt isn’t just about the trophy – it’s about the journey, the terrain, the skill, and the memories made in between. From the wide savannahs of the Northern Cape to the dense thickets of the Eastern Cape and the iconic Lowveld of Mpumalanga, we offer a range of safari hunting experiences that cater to both seasoned hunters and those seeking a first-time African adventure.
Every hunt is guided by seasoned professionals who combine local expertise with a passion for ethical fair-chase hunting. You’ll enjoy well-managed properties, quality accommodations, and a team committed to your safety, comfort, and success.
Classic African plains, legendary trophies Plains Game Hunting
From vast horizons to hidden valleys – trophies await.
South Africa’s plains game offerings are among the most diverse in the world. With over 30 species available across our various regions, your hunt can be tailored to target the animals you seek – from elegant kudu and spirited impala to challenging nyala and warthog. Terrain varies from wide open plains to dense thornveld, making every hunt dynamic and rewarding.
Our guides know the land and the animals — and they’ll work with you to design an itinerary that fits your goals, whether you’re seeking a multi-species safari or focused on a specific trophy.
The ultimate test of skillBow Hunting
Close. Quiet. Challenging
Bow hunting is one of the most rewarding ways to experience the African bush. It requires skill, strategy, and a deep connection with the terrain and animals. At Hunt the Sun, we offer guided bow hunts that focus on approach, stalking, and shot placement — all while maximizing the natural challenge of the hunt.
Whether you prefer traditional recurves or modern compounds, our camps and guides are equipped to elevate your experience and help you achieve your goals with pride.
Fast - Fun - FeatheredWing Shooting
A different kind of African thrill
If your idea of a perfect hunt includes flush after flush of fast-flying birds across African skies, our wing-shooting programs are crafted for you. Hunt everything from francolin and guinea fowl to dove and duck, depending on the season and region. Wing shooting can be added to your safari as a standalone experience or paired with plains game hunting for variety and excitement.
Our experienced bird guides position you for success and help maximize your day in the field – whether you’re travelling solo or with a group.
