Plains Game

plains game

OutdoorFrontiers Africa’s primary focus is on the numerous species of plains game animals that roam the Free State and East Cape provinces of South Africa. The different ecological regions range from wide open and flat plains where you can see almost forever, to thick thornbush country where visibility is often measured in feet, to a rugged mix of plains and mountainous terrain.
Not all of these various animals naturally occur in all regions, so your trophy selection will often determine the region hunted and some travel might be required.
The animals available (and trophy fees) to clients of Outdoor Frontiers Africa are:
