Firstly, South Africa is a malaria-free destination

This makes it an attractive choice for hunters who want to avoid the risk of contracting the disease. 

Most of the hunting areas are located in the northern parts of South Africa, which used to be malaria endemic, but have since been cleared. 

Hunting in the Eastern Cape – where Huntershill Safaris is located – is 100% risk free. This means that hunters can focus solely on their hunting experience without worrying about contracting malaria.

Favorable Exchange Rate

South Africa’s currency, the Rand, is weaker compared to the US Dollar, Euro, and British Pound. This is another great reason why international hunters choose hunting in South Africa. 

Trophy hunting is a luxury activity, and hunting in South Africa can be significantly cheaper than hunting in other countries, making it an attractive option for hunters who want to hunt more trophies in Africa, or who want to share this experience with the whole family.

Solid Infrastructure

South Africa has a solid banking, roads, and public infrastructure. The country has a modern road network, and most of the hunting areas are accessible by car. 

In addition, South Africa is home to several world-class airports, which makes it easy for hunters to fly in and out of the country.
