Additional farms

Our primary hunting location is on the Huntershill Lodge on Wildschutsberg Game Farm. However, we also have four additional farms.

We use these farms to keep specific game, for breeding programs, and for specific hunting purposes.

In this way, we protect our species, and ensure there will always be the right game, at the right time, for you.

Our history

In the early 1800's, the original farm was owned by a British nobleman.

It was renamed Wildschutsberg by a later Dutch owner.

The name "Wildschutsberg" means Hunter’s Hill and so the name has been retained.

The current farm has been extended through purchase of nearby farms.

Huntershill is now one of the largest game farms in the Eastern Cape.

Huntershill was established by Greg Harvey in 2000 with just 2,500 hectares.  Now it is 55,000 acres.

Greg has grown the operation and now entertains hunters from all over the world, including the USA, UK, Spain, Denmark, France, Canada, China, Argentina, Russia and Italy.

The Professional Hunters at Huntershill Safaris

Jason

about huntershill safarisI started hunting at the young age of 11 and guided my first animal at 13. In 2009 my passion become a reality where I got my PH for big game. I am currently licensed in the Eastern Cape, Western Cape and Zambia.

My favorite animal to hunt is the Vaal Rhebuck and any free range kudu bulls. The tiny 10 also have a special place in my heart, as I believe this is the ultimate list to complete in Africa.

I became a PH because I am a peoples person and nothing brings me more joy than to see a client who has dreamt about his African Safari shoot what has been on his wish list. To me this is the best job in the whole world as nothing can beat sitting around the campfire making plans to what you will do the next day. You can sit the whole night planning all the finer details but everything can change a second the next day when you’re out and nothing brings me more joy. It is the thrill of the unknown that keeps us hunters hooked.

To me hunting is all about conservation, the people we bring together and the people and communities that benefit from hunting is massive. Huntershill strives to sell not only an animal but a whole experience and I am so lucky to be part of that. May I do this until the day I die.

Boyce

about huntershill safarisMyself and my wife are based at Rocklands just outside Fort Beaufort. We absolutely love being in the hospitality industry. I have always wanted to be a PH, I have always loved hunting and in 2005 I finally starting to live my passion. I got my PH license then and have never looked back.

My favorite animal to hunt is a Bushbuck, it is a very shy and elusive animal and it takes lots of time and effort to get a good ram.

Hunting has allowed me to make friends with all sorts of people from around the world, allowing me to make so many connections. Hunting has also allowed me to create a good life for myself and my family.
