Ethos
We are here for the wildlife.” We actively improve habitat and carefully manage population sizes—never harvesting indiscriminately. Animals are selected on age and ecological role, not size. Hunting is strictly ethical and fair-chase: no blinds, no vehicles, no waterpoint hunting—only a proper hunting experience. – Conway
Ethical. Selective. Science-driven.
Wildlife wellbeing comes first. Harvest decisions are based on birth rates and population dynamics—not maximum offtake. Hunting is fair-chase only: no blinds, no vehicles, no waterpoint hunting—just a proper hunting experience. – Conway
These little things, support, happen all the time and make our staff happier and this IS why we are lucky enough to have staff that have stayed here for years” Our repeat clients experience a sense of familiarity on their return which gives them a good experience”.
“ our staff are like family, we have attended their weddings, we provide aid/support with all levels of schooling, meat provision, aid in procuring vehicles, medical aid. – Conway
