SOUTH AFRICA

Outfitter #1

Angus Brown Safaris (established 1983) has an exciting new development currently underway. They are relocating their home base to a new property in the Orange Free State where they will be able to offer both bow and rifle hunting for primarily the Highveld species. They intend to specialize in those "hard to get" bow trophies like Mountain Reedbuck, Lechwe, Black Wildebeest, Springbuck, Vaal Rhebuck for our bowhunters, as well as being able to offer the same species to rifle hunters on concessions in the area. For those who continue to dream of hunting in the Bushveld --- we have retained the hunting rights on our Bushveld properties and concessions, and will continue to offer quality hunts in our old stomping areas. We offer 24+ plains game species and are licensed to hunt dangerous game. Please inquire!

This Outfitter was established in 1985 and today spans more than 20,000 acres of unspoiled bushveld, riverine bush and savanna, north of the Soutpansberg.

We offer in excess of fifteen huntable species including Lion, Cape Buffalo, White Rhino, Leopard, Roan Antelope and Sable Antelope can also be found on the ranch. Bandur Hunting Lodge has, over the past 17 years, established a reputation for sustaining large herds of huntable species as well as offering good quality trophy animals. An experienced and qualified professional hunter and skilled tracker will always accompany you on the hunt. A specially equipped four-wheel drive Safari vehicle is available. In the tradition of old Africa you will be accommodated in rustic, en-suite thatched lodges and a large, open thatched dining area with outdoor fireplace.
