A well-planned bird hunting south africa trip starts by identifying the sporting format, the travel schedule and the needs of anyone accompanying the hunter.

Understand the safari

The Highveld Wingshooting Safari is eight days and seven nights, round trip from Pretoria. Five days are shooting days; Day 4 is the Kimberley excursion and Days 1 and 8 are travel days.

Understand the shooting

Guineafowl, francolin and partridge are driven in the English style. Rock pigeons and waterfowl are decoyed. Doves are pass shot on the flightline. The safari is wingshooting only, with no plains game, big game or rifles.

Understand the train

Rovos Rail’s Pride of Africa has 36 suites and a maximum of 72 guests. It has formal dining, a lounge and an observation car with an open-air balcony.

Plan for companions

Leisure guests remain on the same train and follow a separate program.

Check current information
