About

Plains game hunting at NTONI

Plains game hunting at NTONI takes place across 10,000 hectares of open veld, rocky slopes and natural grazing areas. Our reserve hosts a wide range of species, and therefore hunters can pursue Kudu, Eland, Gemsbok, Wildebeest, Impala, Springbuck and many others throughout the season. Each hunt is guided by a professional hunter who selects mature trophy males and ensures that every shot is ethical and safe. Because our landscape includes valleys, ridges and dense cover, hunters experience clear variety in terrain and distance. This makes plains game hunting suitable for both skilled rifle hunters and bow hunters seeking controlled and responsible stalks.

Experience

The Plains Game Hunting Experience

Plains game hunting follows a steady daily routine that begins before sunrise. Hunters start with coffee and a light bite, then head into the veld with their PH and one or more trackers. As a result, each session focuses on locating the right animal, reading tracks and watching wind patterns. You return to the lodge late morning for breakfast and rest until the afternoon hunt begins. Because plains game move in herds and cover wide distances, hunters often combine vehicle-based glassing with longer stalks on foot. Therefore, you experience calm tracking moments, short climbs, and measured approaches to reach a clean shooting position. Bow hunters may use natural cover or hides, while rifle hunters engage targets at appropriate distances depending on species and terrain.
EXPECTATIONS

What to Expect

Your PH determines which animal is suitable based on age, body condition and trophy quality. Hunters may choose 1:1 or 2:1 guidance. Meanwhile, trackers support the hunt by locating fresh signs and identifying movement patterns across the reserve. After a successful shot, the skinners prepare the carcass for transport and processing. Trophies are handled by the preferred taxidermist, and the meat is sold or donated within the region. Plains game hunting directly supports our conservation work. By selecting mature males and maintaining balanced populations, we protect grazing capacity and prevent overuse of sensitive areas. In addition, hunters contribute to ongoing restoration projects across NTONI, including erosion control, water management and species reintroduction. After each day in the veld, guests unwind at the lodge, enjoy the braai and share the day’s progress. This creates a structured and relaxed rhythm throughout the stay.
