YOUR ULTIMATE AFRICAN ADVENTURE. BOOK YOUR NEXT SAFARI WITH US.
TAILORED AFRICAN EXPERIENCES
We provide tailored African experiences that span both our lands & seas. Let’s work together to build your personalised tour & experience Africa as it should be.
HUNTING & WINGSHOOTING
Hunting primarily takes place in the Free State and the Eastern Cape. We are fortunate in that our base camp sits in both a high concentration of wild game and large flocks of game birds such as geese, ducks, rock pigeons and guinea fowl.
We thus often combine a plains game hunting safari with some high intensity wing shooting to mix things up a bit. With over 30 huntable plains game species and flocks of rock pigeons in the 10’s of thousand we can ensure that your safari will be unforgettable.
Dangerous game hunting is also a major part of the Southern Kings operation with the Cape Buffalo being the most sort after animal of the big 5. Dangerous game thrive in different areas of South Africa and thus depending on what animal is sort after will decide which concession we hunt in. Please drop us an email and we will get right away to organising your dangerous game safari.
ROCK & SURF AND DEEP SEA FISHING
Rock & Surf fishing along the coast of the Eastern Cape is unrivalled throughout Southern Africa. With pristine beaches and limited human occupation during the year means that the fish numbers in our areas are in abundance.
Whether it be shark fishing off the rocks or fishing for edibles for the table in Camp you will be sure to be blown away with what our beaches have to offer.
Deep Sea Fishing can easily be organised through our charter boat connections. The boats run out the Port Alfred marina leaving as early as 4.30 am for a full day of excellent fishing. Our clients can rest assured that they will be put on the fish and will most definitely have a day to remember.
ECO TOURISM
With access to big 5 private game reserves such as Fort D’Acre, Kareiga, Sibuya and Addo Elephant Park Southern Kings is well positioned to put together a photographic safari of a lifetime.
Our photographic safaris often end off with a trip down the garden route to Cape Town where our clients can experience the wine route and all the Mother city has to offer.
Being in close proximity to Johannesburg international airport we are capable of organising a safari into South Africa’s famous Kruger National Park. Should our clients prefer to attend Kruger as opposed to our various other options do let us know and we will structure a package with our partners in Limpopo that is both cost effective and exceptional.
