GENERAL INFO

General Information

At Kuche Safaris, we recognize that booking a foreign hunting safari is a significant decision for many individuals. Our team is dedicated to assist you throughout the entire process, ensuring a seamless experience from your initial inquiry to the moment you display your cherished memories at home. With our extensive experience in the industry, we are well-equipped to offer valuable advice and support.

To facilitate your planning, we have created a comprehensive guide to booking your African Safari, which details the entire process and serves as helpful information.

We encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.

While a compact 5-night/-6day hunt can be enjoyable, we highly recommend considering a 10-day/9-night safari if your budget allows. This extended duration not only helps mitigate jet lag but also enhances the range of opportunities available to you, allowing for a more leisurely and enjoyable hunting experience.

We offer three distinct types of safaris for you to choose from.

Select one of our standard hunting packages, which includes:
• Trophy fees for the specified animals in the package.
• You have the flexibility to modify your animal choices, with the package price adjusted accordingly.
• Daily rate covering accommodation, meals, land transportation, and the services of an experienced professional hunter, inclusive of a 14% government tax on the daily rate.

If you have specific preferences, share your wish list with us, and we will create a customized fully inclusive package tailored to your needs.

• The daily rate includes a 15% government tax. Hunt animals as opportunities arise, with prices based on our standard price list.

In any of the above options:
Additional trophies can be added at the listed price.
Guests will be greeted upon arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and returned there at no additional cost upon completion of the safari.
We also offer add-on tours and photo safari day trips for your enjoyment.

Additional tours and photo safari day trips are also offered.
