Leeuwkop Hunting Safaris, originally established as Uitvlucht Safaris in 2014, was renamed in 2020, marking the birth of the 'Leeuwkop Family'. Named after the Lion Mountain region, known for its majestic lions since the 1800's, the area's lion pride will serenade you some evenings at the campfires! The safari is based in the green Kalahari of the Western Free-State province, a short 35m drive from Kimberly SA Airport. It offers world-class hunting grounds with over 45 species of African wildlife, including 4 of the big 5, and has 30k contiguous acres 47 sq miles!

The modern lodge offers an exceptional experience with 5-star accommodation. Over the last 4 years our SCI board members Julius Fortuna and Tony Perkins have been guests on multiple safaris, please reach out to them for information, they both have taken record class buffalo, and plains game and rave about the Meyer family with DJ as the PH and owner and the adventures they have had included personal best buffalo. see website. Their fleet of vehicles are new and they have top notch equipment throughout. They own a private 6-seater twin engine aircraft so side adventures anywhere in south Africa are available for an extra fee.

What makes Leeuwkop Hunting Safaris different...many things! First, they own and live full time on the concession, this separates them for 98% of all safari outfitters is SA! This means they have a different approach to the land, animals, and clients. They manage for quality of the land, and the game number one. They are proud of the quantity of game on the concession as well and in that area, our SCI guys said they never drove more than 10-15 minutes without seeing herds of game! Ownership allows them to do very special pricing on animals. As an example, they have over 300 cape buffalo and if the bid winner decides he wants to try his skill at black death the cost is just $5,500 trophy fee (40 inches or less) if you are successful! You may bring along a hunting friend as well and split the safari harvest or can hunt any of the plains game or buffalo for just a little additional cost of $1,250!
Geographically if you have not hunted this part of SA you have not hunted SA! It is nothing like the Limpopo and the thick mopani choked forest, it’s very similar to the Serengeti with open savannas, hills, which are more enjoyable and visually appealing hunting. Its very suitable to glassing and stalking. They do have some thick jess as well with fall brush providing great escape cover especially for the Kudu and Buffalo. They have wonderful primitive weapons hunting, with archery designed concrete pit and elevated blinds dedicated to archers...no rifle hunters allowed ever!

WHAT TO EXPECT
Their gemsbuck are in their natural home range and our SCI team saw groups with 3-4 having horns over 40”. The Kudu are cape variety and while they are a bit smaller the average bull has been 49-52" with one recently at 54”. They are extremely difficult to hunt, and its usually the hunt that takes the longest time commitment, average is 2-3+ days for an opportunity at a 50” bull. The good thing is you will be seeing many other species during the chase! The black wildebeest herd numbers over 600, with many SCI record class animals. Please see the attached video for reference.
