Long-Range, Walk & Stalk and Voorsit Jag Hunts

Hunting experiences for every hunter's preference, from seasoned marksmen to beginners.

Hunting styles

Choose how you hunt

Hartsrust's mix of open veld, koppies, bush and rivers suits several styles of hunting. Stick to one, or combine them over a multi-day trip.

Long-range hunting

Take on the open plains and koppies with long, precise shots. Sight in at our range first, from 100 m out to 1 km.

Walk & stalk

The thrill of tracking plains game on foot. Bush walking and waterbank setups also give you opportunities at waterbuck and lechwe.

Voorsit jag

A more traditional approach: the South African sit-and-wait hunt, where patience and a well-placed shot do the work.

Range & equipment

Shooting range from 100 m to 1 km

Hone your skills at our on-site shooting range, with distances from 100 m right out to 1 km. It's the place to confirm your zero before a long-range hunt, and a good way to start a group trip.

Rifles, including ammunition, are available to rent by the day if you'd rather not travel with your own firearm.
