Authentic African Hunting Safaris in the Heart of the Eastern Cape.
There is something timeless about Africa. The early morning mist hanging over the valleys, the distant call of game, the quiet crunch of boots on sunbaked soil. At Kei River Hunting Safaris, we invite you to experience Africa not as a visitor, but as family. A true home away from home in the wild African bush.
Set in the breathtaking Eastern Cape, our hunting safaris offer an authentic, free-range African experience where tradition, respect for the land, and unforgettable memories come together. This is real African low fence hunting with wide-open spaces where every stalk tells a story.
Tracking game on foot through untouched terrain, guided only by your rifle, your instincts, and the knowledge of seasoned professionals, is a dream shared by hunters across the world. Here, that dream becomes reality. Every hunt is carefully and personally tailored to your needs, preferences, and expectations, whether you are a seasoned trophy hunter or experiencing your first African safari.
We pride ourselves on meticulous attention to detail and genuine hospitality. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed into our family, where comfort, warmth, and African hospitality are as important as the hunt itself. Evenings are spent sharing stories around the fire, enjoying hearty meals, and soaking in the magic of the African night.
With over 45 species of game, our free-range hunting safaris are fully customisable, allowing us to design a once-in-a-lifetime African experience uniquely suited to you. No two hunts are ever the same because no two hunters are.
At Kei River Hunting Safaris, this is more than just a hunting trip!
Guided by Experience, Welcomed Like Family.
Every step you take through the Eastern Cape bush is shared with one of our highly experienced, fully qualified Professional Hunters who know this land intimately and respect it deeply. More than guides, our P.H.s are trusted companions on your African hunting safari, walking beside you with patience, quiet confidence, and an unwavering commitment to your safety and success.
Our Professional Hunters are fully qualified and experienced in hunting Africa’s most iconic and dangerous game, including the legendary Big Five: Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard. For those seeking the ultimate African challenge, these dangerous game safaris demand the highest levels of skill, respect, and preparation. Should this once-in-a-lifetime African experience call to you, we will work closely with you to plan the right safari at the right time, ensuring conditions, logistics, and expectations are perfectly aligned.
From the first morning in the bush to evenings spent sharing stories back at camp, your comfort, safety, and enjoyment remain our highest priority. This is not a rushed hunt, nor a one-size-fits-all safari. It is an authentic African hunting experience. Personal, respectful, and unforgettable.
Here, you don’t just hunt Africa. You live it!
Booking with Kei River Hunting Safaris ensures the planning is seamless, leaving you free to savour the adventure and unmatched thrill of the African hunt.
Expert Guidance and Ethical Hunting Excellence.
At Kei River Hunting Safaris, every detail of your hunt is supported with expert guidance. From advice on bringing your personal rifles and ammunition to providing the complete documentation package for temporary firearm import permits upon your arrival in South Africa, we ensure your preparations are seamless. Our team can also guide you on the most suitable calibres and ammunition types, tailored to your hunting style and chosen game.
We are deeply committed to strictly ethical hunting, where the timeless tradition of walk and stalk is central to every safari. For bow hunters, we offer still and hide techniques as well as walk-and-stalk approaches. Certain species, like bushpig, may be hunted using bait or with the assistance of highly trained hounds, providing a dynamic and authentic African hunting experience. For those who enjoy upland game, exceptional wing shooting opportunities are also available on request..
