Bird hunt with us is all in all, a once in a lifetime experience. Few people realize that the largest variety of game birds are most probably found in South Africa. The world’s biggest game bird, the spurwing goose, is but one of the species of geese we hunt. Dove and pigeons are shot over grain fields. Duck and geese hunting takes place on lakes and pans.
Waterfowl. The species hunted include Spurwing geese, Egyptian geese, Yellow billed duck, Red billed teal and White-faced duck. Shooting methods are based on shooting the birds on their flight paths in the early mornings and the evenings, across water, at Pans and Lakes.
Doves and Pigeons. Our bags are normally made up of Red Eyed morning doves, Cape turtledoves and Rock pigeons. This is a must for the wing shooter who likes to be kept busy with a variety of challenging shots.
Guinea fowl and Francolin. The guinea fowl is without doubt one of the best game birds in Africa. They are normally shot on driven hunts, which take place in cornfields or long grass. Francolin are split into Red necked and Swainsons. This is normally combined with the guinea fowl hunt as they are often found in the same habitat.
African Game birds. Both waterfowl and upland game birds make up Africa's game bird population. Waterfowl are dependent on aquatic environments and include ducks and geese and snipe. Upland game birds include grouse, francolin, quail, pheasant, partridge and guinea fowl.
Southern Africa sees the most successful sustainable utilization game management policies with South Africa establishing some very successful ventures. We've included a list of game birds of southern Africa, not all of them being suitable for sustainable hunting.
In many instances, game birds are shot as an additional activity to trophy hunting. However, since most hunting takes place in the cooler months, this coincides with the breeding seasons of most game birds. This is having a serious impact on populations throughout southern Africa but particularly in Botswana and South Africa.
