Located in the picturesque Limpopo Valley along the borders of Zimbabwe and Botswana, and merely a 5-hour drive from Johannesburg, the Limpopo Valley Game Reserve is PJ Hunting Safaris' premier hunting destination. This reserve is easily accessible thanks to a private airstrip that simplifies travel to and from Johannesburg. Characterized by the Mopani Bushveld, which includes a mix of Mopani Brush, acacia, and majestic Baobab trees, the terrain is predominantly flat, facilitating easy stalking with occasional rocky outcrops ideal for observing the area. Renowned as one of the most beautiful regions in South Africa, PJ Hunting Safaris holds exclusive hunting rights over 30,000 hectares here. The game reserve hosts a diverse range of wildlife including Cape Buffalo, Sable, Roan, Leopard, and Giraffe, alongside other predators like Hyenas and smaller cats. This area is especially noted for its large Kudu Bulls, Eland, Waterbuck, Nyala, and Bushbuck, with more than 30 other game species freely roaming the area. PJ Hunting Safaris offers tailored hunting experiences with rifles, bows, and handguns, guided by experts committed to providing trophy-worthy expeditions. Safaris begin at dawn, taking advantage of the morning’s peak animal activity, and include a midday break before an afternoon hunt that concludes at sunset. With 4-star lodges located within the game reserve, hunters can start their day directly from the camp, maximizing their time in the field.
PJ Hunting Safaris extends its operations to the areas surrounding the renowned Kruger National Park, hunting within private game reserves that are integrated into the Greater Kruger open system, primarily targeting Big Game like Elephant, Buffalo, and Hippo. These reserves span over 130,000 hectares of free-range hunting territory, featuring dense brush and riverine environments that promise an unforgettable hunting experience. The thrill of the hunt is heightened by the potential of becoming the tracked, as Lions roam freely within these expansive areas.
In addition to the rich bushveld, PJ Hunting Safaris offers hunting opportunities in the open plains of South Africa’s Northern Free State, targeting species not typically found in the Limpopo bushveld such as Black Wildebeest, Lechwe, Mountain Rhebuck, Blesbucks, and Springbucks. Located just a two-hour drive from Johannesburg airport, these areas challenge hunters with long-range shooting opportunities across open grass plains where minimal cover presents unique challenges. These more compact areas, ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 hectares, require precise skill and strategy, providing a varied and challenging hunting experience.
