Blaauwkrantz Safaris doesn't only expand habitat, but infrastructure too.

We are proud to announce the addition of our Mountain Lodge to our outfit. The new facility is located on a newly bought property adjoining the existing ranch at the foothills of the rugged Cockscomb Mountain range.

Whilst the Mountain Lodge is logistically not as well placed as the central Main Lodge, it boasts a lovely wild ambience with a very appropriate dining lapa and rather romantic hut-chalets for accommodations.

We look forward to entertaining many happy hunters there once we complete some renovations.

Good hunting

Safari Club International show in Las Vegas

We had a great show at the biggest hunting show in the world in Las Vegas, meeting new people and visiting with many old friends. The mood in general was very upbeat and the change in political administration has a lot to do with it.

There were no fewer than 92 South African outfitters exhibiting followed by Namibia with 24. This confirms South Africa as having the lion's share of US hunters in the African hunters market. Only one other country, the US, has more outfitters than South Africa with 101. 

Another interesting thing was the quality of taxidermy on display, truly remarkable.

We head for Salt Lake City, for the third leg of our 2017 marketing season.

Best regards and good hunting.

Happy New Year

We started 2017 in true fashion with our Danish customers take the morning off after some celebrations to usher in the New Year.

When the blistering New Year heat started fading we ventured out and managed to take this fantastic blue wildebeest.

Despite the drought this bull was in great condition thanks to our efforts to supplement the animals during this tough time where most grazers would otherwise succumb.

Best wishes for 2017!
