Your host and professional hunting guide Hannes du Plessis has many years of trophy hunting experience at Bergzicht Game Lodge. Hannes has been a proffesional hunter for more than 12 years and has lived on Bergzicht for more than 25 years. Allowing him to lead you on a hunting safari will ensure not only the success of the hunt but ultimately the safety of the whole hunting expedition.
For the inexperienced hunter Hannes du Plessis will provide help with rifle settings on the shooting range before the start of the hunting safari.
A typical hunting day will start bright and early (6 o'clock) with a hearty breakfast buffet. The hunting method employed is spotting and stalking. The hunter will spot huntable game with binoculars while cruising in a 4x4 vehicle. Then the hunter will stalk the prey until a shooting opportunity presents itself (recommended rifles - .270 up to .300). Depending on the success of the hunt, lunch will be served either at the lodge or on the plains as not to interupt the progress made on the hunting safari. Hunting will continue into the afternoon if so desired by the guests.
At Bergzicht you can expect to hunt typical plains game. Huntable plains game includes Eland, Mountain Zebra, Oryx, Buffalo, Kudu, Black Wildebeest, Blue Wildebeest, Red Hartebeest, Blesbuck, Springbuck and Waterbuck. Warthog and Baboon can also be hunted on Bergzicht Game Farm.
