KMG Hunting Safaris 2024 Season Photos

The result of not giving up until the end, watching countless rams go by, until the correct one steps out in fast fading light. This is a World Class Blue Duiker.

Fallow Deer arrived in the Eastern Cape with the British during the 1800's. Originally, they were kept on the ships for food, but were released upon reaching our shores. Over the last 200 years, they have spread wide across the Eastern Cape, and can be hunted in quite a few free range areas. They might not be an African animal, but we love having them here.

Some really beautiful trophies you took. What is the season on fallow deer in South Africa? They lose their antlers in August or so?

Hi Zach,
They are probably at their best at end March which is pre-rut. For rut you can generally work on the 14th of April give or take two days. They go at it pretty hard so they will break off tines. I wouldn't go for one after August. Probably find a few with one antler around then already.

Predator and prey. Caracals are right up there pound for pound in the power department. Big Caracal are known for taking full grown Bushbuck rams. That simply doesn't fly with us. Their numbers need to be controlled. Fact.

Rounding off a stellar safari with some great animals. Excellent mass on the sable, superb secondary growth on the Vaal Rhebuck and another 50"+ Cape Kudu to put the cherry on top.

We are now open for your 2026 bookings!

Old Warrior of a ram. He was close to his end. This is what conservation through hunting looks like. These old animals get us excited.

Heavy horned, flaring with rounded tips. Can't ask for much more than that. Beautiful Nyala bull for our hunter.

We are now open for your 2026 bookings!

After seeing this Kudu bull the previous day while hunting the Nyala, things just didn't work out as the bull was simply in a spot that was unapproachable. The following day things fell into place as the bull had moved higher into a small valley to get out of a cold wind. This time, the distance could be closed and we made it count.

Very nice double for the day with this very nice, old boar and Waterbuck for our hunter.

After wounding this ram in some of the roughest country out there, we managed to catch a glimpse of a ram with a slight limp in the same valley a few days later, late in the afternoon with no chance. Five days later, we checked the same valley and managed to close the deal on the same ram. Original shot was low through the muscle of the leg, clipping the brisket.

Due to the tough terrain, this was the only decent photo that we could get of the Kudu. Simply too steep to set him up. Another 50" bull from our areas. Strong finish to the safari.

Some beautiful animals all round. When you start focusing on age, the scores will take care of themselves.

A strikingly beautiful Black Impala ram for our hunter and a great representation of the species as well! A great shot accounted for this magnificent ram, and we couldn't be happier. We will be welcoming this group of hunters back in 2026 and we cannot wait!

Without controlling the numbers on these predators, the small game species will suffer. The Eastern Cape is one of the few areas within South Africa where you can hunt them over a pack of hounds. We appreciate every hunter taking up these hunts, as the fees goes to looking after the predator pack as far as food, vet bills etc goes. Thank you for your support.

An unbelievable free range, Cape Kudu bull that we left at first glance. Even though we knew he would go mid 50's, we weren't quite sure whether he was old enough to meet our own standards. These exceptional animals simply has to be given time to spread their wonderful genes. After not being able to get the bull out of our minds, we went back to the valley and found him a couple of 100 yards away. This time, we took the time to get even closer, using the spotting scope to make sure he checked all the boxes before finally deciding to take him.

I’ve been impressed with Caracals ever since I saw where one killed a springbok on my first safari. Micro mountain lion. Definitely high on my hunting bucket list.

One of my dearest friendships made through hunting right here. We have been to some incredible wild places over the years. Here, sitting with a big Spotted Hyena. We could see on our trail cam that there was one individual Hyena with what looked like a snare, and I could remember thinking to myself how great it would be to get that specific one. No easy feat picking out one from of a group. Generally, I try not to mess around too much when they come in. This time when they came in, I could clearly see him and the marks left by the snare was blatant. The first snare caught him through his mouth, and can be seen if you look carefully on the photo. I can only imagine that with the struggle, it slipped from his mouth to around his neck, eventually breaking free. Glad to end his suffering and could not be happier with the results.
