The 2018 Season is well under way.

Just a quick update, we have been hunting hard at Blaauwkrantz with both our lodges occupied often simultaneously. Conditions have been dry but the animals are in great condition but we do hope for rain soon as the antelope head into the rut.

By all accounts 2018 is going to a record season for us as May, June and July are fully booked. August, September and October are also great hunting months and although we understand that the traditional vacation season is May, June and July we encourage those who can come after this peak season try it out.

We try to post regular updates on the website, but our Instagram and Facebook accounts are where the hot news is.  Checkout blaauwkrantzsafaris ; eardleyrudman and our Facebook page @ Blaauwkrantz Safaris.

Best wishes to all, and thank-you to all the hunters who enable sustainable utilization and conservation on private land through hunting.

A returning bushpig hunter.

Last week military man, Joe Rogoff, returned to Blaauwkrantz for the third time to 're' hunt the four animals that make Blaauwkrantz famous. The three spirals, kudu, bushbuck and nyala are always firm favourites, but the bushpig is right up there if not always in the beauty contest though.

Joe was successful with all four taking excellent trophies. His magnificent bushpig was taken in the moonlight over a bait relatively late at night.

We look forward to Joe's 're' turn.

Good hunting.

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

Our hunters visited one of our local schools today

The learners at our Palmiet Skool were very excited today when our hunters from Utah paid them a visit and generously donated them some much needed supplies.

Hunters are probably the most generous people we encounter in the tourism industry. Thank you very much!!

Best wishes
Eardley. 

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.
