NOTE :
Sometimes it may be that the trophy fee is higher on certain other landowners hunting concessions, on certain species, but the choice to hunt on such concession areas rests with the hunter if we are out of quota on our property.
Kudu Hunts - Sometimes we need to go to an area nearer the PE coast and an Additional fee to go there will be payable : 1 hunter $ 75 / hunter or non hunter / night, 2 hunters $ 50 / hunter or non hunter / night, plus trophy fee if Kudu is not already in a package. If the Kudu is in a package there is no additional fee to go to the coastal area provided you go there starting from PE at the beginning of your safari. This above fee to go there is STARTING out from PE at the beginning of your hunt and you will be there usually for 3 nights max, then we collect you at the Kudu area and bring you up country to our ranch for the rest of your hunt.
If you need to go there from RHS for your Kudu the fee is an Additional $ 100 / hunter or non hunter / night and for 2 hunters $ 75 / hunter or non hunter / night plus Kudu trophy fees and this fee is payable regardless if the Kudu is in package or not. This fee covers the trip there and back to RHS up country. Bookings are Subject to Barry, the Lodge owner and PH at the coastal area, having open slots. Reasons for this are Kudu - they are not easy to get, sometimes our local areas are out of quota or we just aren't seeing any good bulls in our area and you want to get your Kudu. Check with RHS well before what the situation is re Kudu in our area so if you need to go to this Kudu area we have time to make a booking there.
Giraffe are rarely available and the hide requires collection in the field right after hunting by our Local taxidermist to prevent hair slip and assistance with skinning in the field. This additional collection and skinning fee cost is about $ 250 on top of the trophy fee payable to the Taxidermist once you get his bill for all the other trophys on your hunt.
A reminder that any animal not exported out of South Africa 15 % VAT tax must be charged onto Trophy fee. Exporting even just one part or some of the animals you hunt will mean no VAT tax needs to be charged.
Costs besides the Safari are :
Taxidermy, Trophy export permits, Customs trophy clearance fees and Shipping of trophys to your home, click here for this info and cost examples : Taxidermy and Shipping
Pre or post safari - hotels, meals, taxis / transport , allow for approx $ 150 per hunter.
