South Africa Plains Game — 10 Days
South Africa
About This Hunt
Hunting territory: Limpopo Province bushveld (Waterberg / Soutpansberg fringe)
Habitat: Acacia bushveld, riverine valleys
South Africa's Limpopo bushveld offers the template 10-day plains-game safari: enough time to hunt five common species properly without rushing trophy quality. All listed game occurs on the same property — vehicle access to the area, then stalking on foot.
Nyala in the riverine thickets and blesbok on the open flats are classic Limpopo combinations; springbok is excluded because it belongs to Karoo/arid zones, not bushveld.
Typical all-inclusive quote: US$8,800–$9,700 (1×1 hunter, trophy fees included where noted by outfitters). Limpopo/Waterberg 10-day 5–6 plains-game packages at US$8,800–9,700 (GameHuntingSafaris, BookYourHunt); Eastern Cape 10-day can dip to ~US$7,200 with fewer species or shared vehicle.
